| | Halo 2 for Vista Wondering how this game is, what system requirements are. well my computer can run Gears pretty nice, will it run Halo 2? Do I need a Gold account to play online, or can I do what I do with gears and play Live List and another thing, Can I play with Xbox live players, one of the main reasons I am getting. I have heard you can, and I have heard you cannot... What is the truth? Thank you, Stinger1990 |

The minimum requirements for the game, according to the information on the box are the following: Processor: 2 GHz Memory: 1 GB RAM with 7 GB of free hard drive space Video Card: Nvidia 6100, ATI X700 or above My brand new, Dell Inspiron 530 with an Nvidia 128 MB, DirectX 10 video card, 2 GB of RAM and a dual-core 1.8 GHz Intel processor barely made the playable requirements. The game played just fine, however. The most discouraging part of the game is how linear it is and, I hope this isn't a spoiler for you, the fact that you don't play the entire game as the Master Chief! As part of the storyline, you play a good portion of the game as one of the Covenant Elite! I didn't know this when I purchased the game and I was not happy to encounter this situation in the midst of game play. It sucks! And . . . to top it all off . . . there is no ending. Yes, you read that right. No ending. The game ends in the middle of a level and that's it. The plan being that you will now, of course, run right off to the store or go online and purchase Halo 3 to finish this portion of the story started way back in the original Halo. My opinion is that this game, Halo 2, can't hold a candle to the game that set the standard for First Person Shooters, Halo. Halo is by far a superior production. If you want the game, email me and I'll sell you my copy for $25, plus a couple of bucks for shipping. I have Halo as well, and if you want it, I'll throw it in for another $10. Halo will play on your Vista computer. |

| | Re: Halo 2 for Vista As far as switching characters that is how the game is. it makes sense if you watch the story and even more when you beat H3 and have everything play out for you.

| | Re: Halo 2 for Vista Halo had the worst story arc ever I'm sorry, but Master Chief is a Master Tool. I passed a better story this morning before my shower. -A.
