Okay, Halo 2 Vista is coming out. YAAAAY!! Halo 2 Vista is a Games for Windows title, YAAAAY!!!! Now look here Requirement for the Games for Windows branding, #2: 2) Compatibility. Games for Windows branded titles work on Windows XP and Windows Vista based PCs, including both 32 and 64 bit editions. On the Halo 2 for Windows Vista page:
Is this just the same bulls**t hypocritical crap Microsoft always feeds us, or am I missing something? |

I suggest waiting until the game comes out, and see if the "Compatibility" section description changes. If it does not, bring on the class action suit. |

I'm sure there will be a hack made pretty quick to allow backwards compatibility, if it ends up not working on XP. But anyway, the game is utter shit so you don't want it anyway. |

You're jumping the gun a bit. The game isn't out yet, so they haven't yet failed their own standards. Frankly, I doubt you're genuinely annoyed - I think you're just looking for "I hate M$" ammo. |

I find it more Hypocritical.. yet funny, that they insisted that 1080p and HDMI wasn't needed for the console's. A few months later the Xbox 360 had 1080p... and now there is the "Elite" which has a HDMI port on the back..... Come on.. LOL Yet I'm happy with my Xbox 360 premium... As long as it doesn't break again. :roll: |

Frankly, I doubt you're genuinely annoyed - I think you're just looking for "I hate M$" ammo.....not really. I have enough "I hate M$" ammo from when they banned my xbox from live for absolutely no reason and wouldn't fix it. I just got excited to play this on my new computer, but don't want to shell out the extra crap money for the still-buggy vista JUST to play the game because Microsoft is sidestepping their own standards. |

Just a minute. First you say it doesn't matter whether you want Halo 2 or not. Now you're using your desire to play Halo 2 to justify your annoyance. So which one is it? |

Okay, Halo 2 Vista is coming out. YAAAAY!! good point, I guess only Halo2 will be "different" because its name is "Halo2 for Vista", other Games for Windows games should be for both Xp and Vista etc |

Hehe... http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2128056,00.asp Personally, if you're that desperate to play Halo 2, I think you should go buy an XBox and a budget copy of Halo 2. ;) After all, an XBox is, what, now? £80 (around $160?) Halo 2 on budget is around £20 ($40 in direct exchange rate, although probably about $30 in real life...) Halo 2 PC will probably cost £35 or £40 (real US cost $50, actually cost it should be if exchange rate was adhered to: $70-80... no, I'm not bitter at Rip Off Britain...) and then however much Vista costs... Home Premium is, what, £80 ($160)? And that is OEM, not retail. Average Joe will have to buy a retail copy... But it's less Microsoft's hypocrisy about Halo 2 and Vista that I care about, and more the fact that they're busy pushing PC gaming as something so wonderful... and then palming us off with shitty ports of two-year-or-older games... ... As for 32/64-bit support... hehe... maybe they should start pressuring the manufacturers driver coders to actually get their act together when it comes to 64-bit drivers? |
