Oh, well - I saw Window's Vista in my future anyway :wink: :lol:

I'm sure Vista will be faster at gaming, but not initially. Just look at the Win9x to WinXP transistion... Win9x was slightly faster for a short while.


MS is using Halo2 to sell Vista in the same way Halo2 sells the XBOX. Problem is that works for all the kiddy n00bs, but I personally couldn't give a flying fart about Halo2. Halo 1 was crap on PC - laggy sloppy graphics.

and by the time halo 2 is out on the PC there will be halo 3 days from release if not out already :D

I don´t mind either. I have halo 1 for pc and both halo 1 and halo 2 for xbox. The next halo i´m going to buy is halo 3 on the 360.

Ye the Vista only thing is a bit silly I don't intend to run Vista on my main rig for at least a year until it has the majority of its bugs fixed. Surely making it Vista only will hit the sales a fair bit the shops will have to make sure or at least the box will that it is Vista only.

As for Halo 1 on the pc the online was fun but i agree it was badly coded but it was still fun online.

micro$oft wants control of you, yoiur PC and all your media!!! vista will have so much DRM/HDCP/Trusted platform module etc ill never install that shit unless someone rips that crap out.

Supposedly ships 5/8/2007 (May)



Apparently - Bungie isn't using dx10 on halo 2 for pc :roll:

So it should run on XP... :?

With Vista's rather larger recommended requirements compared to XP, I cant see gamers benefiting from it...especially if the OS doesnt free the resources it uses so the games can use them instead. But given I havent used it yet I could be completly wrong, and I hope I am. I would like to see Vista improving gaming but for some reason I dont see that happening.

Exhibit A:


In the future i could see CoH running BETTER on Vista than XP.

I cannot wait for Halo2 on PC :D

Halo 2 will be on PC, my guess is towards June it'll release. I had lot of issues with it on xbox, including to much uato aim and huge hit boxes ( I understand alittle autoaim, but jesus.. ) They'll be fixed in this veersion which is good. Plus iwdescreen and it'll run smoother

When Halo was released on PC, the game sucked so bad it was not playable. However, I re-installed the game yesterday and had a blast. No lag at all and very smooth performance.
