not me:
halo2 (£5) + xbox (£50) = £55 on ebay
halo2 vista (call it £30 as it's new) + vista home basic (£65) + computer (£500 or more) = £595, about 10x more. not the only comparison you can do, but it's definitely not worth it for *one* game, that on it's original platform is running on what is essentially a geforce 4 and a pentium 3 700mhz, yet somehow requires vista when it's on the pc

i'll only get it once i'm on vista but i'm not gonna get vista just so i can play Halo 2 or that other game that is vista only atm...can't remember the name of it.
the only requirement is that MS pretty much owns the Halo series and they want it to be something speical or a way to make it a lil harder for ppl to warez it lol

Halo was suposed to be on PC in the first place, but bungie put it on the xbox with great achievment, then they put it on the PC and it was a disaster, but from the screenshots that are out for H2 Vista it looks pretty good. Oh, and you dont need DX10 to play H2 Vista, its DX9 able for those who dont want a G80 or R600.

I thought it was originally designed for a Mac before PC...

I agree, it's totally overrated.

i already own the game, and the multiplayer is nothing special, would be nice to actualy play it without autoaim all over the place tho (or are they keeping that in for the pc version?)
