I'd doubt that RimFire. The only reason being that if you take at look at the pic's the graphics are like 5 times better then Halo PC... Yeah...-Guy with a Point

The graphics don't look noticeable different to me... Perhaps it depends on your graphics card...

== Vista or not? ==
 
I reserved a copy of Halo 2 pc at an EB Games the other day and the guy said I didnt need vista... is that true or not? --[[User:Dandaman879|Dandaman879]] 04:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 
I'm sad to say that, as far as I can see, there are no plans to release Halo 2 PC on any OS other then Vista... Perhaps you should demand a refund and simply wait a few weeks after the release for a cracked version to be available to download for free... -[[User:Havanacus|Havanacus]]
 
 
That guy is full of it--[[User:JohnSpartan117]] 22:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 
Oh, I'm full of it am I?... [http://thepiratebay.org/search/halo/0/0/0 Link to pirated halo torrents...] Like I said, only a matter of time before we can run the game without Vista... If you run Linux then you can find a Vista emulator and be playing halo 2 today... -[[User:Havanacus|Havanacus]]
 
Actually, there already is way way to play it without Vista. Falling Leaf Systems made a library that runs Halo 2 on PC's with XP. Lemme get you all a link....
[http://www.fallingleafsystems.com/preorder/] There. Just order Halo 2 from the link to Amazon there and apparently, they send you the library for Halo 2 when it's done. Of course, you could just wait until the 15th when it is normally released. - MasterChief16 15:40,10 August 2007
 
== Nudity? ==
 
How could there be nudity in Halo 2?--[[User:JohnSpartan117]] 22:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 
http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showpost.php?p=67220&postcount=29 Found in the map editor. It's a Bungie employee mooning the camera. [[User:Terin|Terin]] 14:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 
 
Im not a fan of nudity really. The news that it is in the multiplayer is good news. (I suck at computer MP). As soon as I get Vista, I will prolly get Halo 2. [[User:MasterB|MasterB]] 07:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 
Oh my god, that was hysterical! I mean, its a good thing it got taken out before it was noticed post-release and lawsuits would arise, but I saw that pic from the above link and just laughed. [[User:Kap2310|Kap2310]] 22:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 
I like to refer to him as "Basis", The moon in halo (The largest moon of threshold, Alpha halo sits between the moon and its planet)
 
== Demo ==
 
will there ever be a Halo 2 demo?i don't have the money to buy vista AND halo 2,and i don't want to get it and try to use that pach that lets you play it on XP and not have it work right,or mess my computer up [[User:Voy101|Voy101]]
 
== will my comp work too slow with this? ==
 
my comp has these specifications:
 
*x64 x2 processor (AMD Turion)
*ATI radion x1200 graphics card
 
so? will it work smoothly? {{unsigned|Master Chief 1337}}
 
==Halo 2 XP?==
 
Where did you get the info? ((unsigned|Arbitry12}}
 
There should be a section regarding Halo 2 on PC, I can´t gp beyond the Gravemind level because of the patch limitations and can´t find a fix for that urrrg
 
Theres a patch you can download in limewire
 
Halo 2 vista '''singleplayer''' mode is fully playable on Windows XP, via Robomaster's Halo 2XP Utilities.
If you get a crash on Gravemind or somewhere else you have either pirated a fcked up version of the game or used broken installer.
Exact download links appear to have been screwed becouse of forum updates, but you can try looking them from here or try contacting Robomaster on same site.

If this is illegal or not depends on are installing on legal Halo 2 retail dvd or did you download it from torrent site.

== System Requirments ==
I Have a computer with the requirments and i have the issue of it running very very slow
my requirments are:
1.8 GHZ amd mobile sempron
windows vista x64
160 gb hdd
2 gb ram
nvidia gforce go 6100
WEI Score of 6
why does it not run fast it runs slow like very slow it takes 5 minutes just to kill someone on easy. [[User:Shipmaster117|Shipmaster117]] 04:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 
Halo 2 Vista requires 2.o Ghz speed. need an upgrade dude.[[User talk:Arabsbananas|Arabsbananas]] 03:27, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 
== Halo 2 PC takes too much system resources! ==
 
The game requires soo much computer power. In fact, the cost of a good computer with a good enough graphics card is enough money to buy almost three Xbox 360's. The power Halo 2 needs is like a government super computer.
 
==Setting up account==
Were can i set up an account to play this? also; do u need to pay for subsription for the Vista version? for that matter why do u have to pay on XBox live? and then still have to pay for downloads on the marketplace? PICK ONE MICROSOFT!
*sorry i was misinformed at that point.
 
== Name Change ==
 
should this article's name be changed to "Halo 2 PC" because Vista isn't really part of it's title. [[User:Bioniclepluslotr|<span style="color: lime; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt;">'''Bioniclepluslotr'''</span>]] 16:58, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

== Windows 7 ==
 
Would this work on the new Windows 7? [[User talk:Liquid Ink|Liquid Ink]] 02:33, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
:Probably. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't... 02:38, February 8, 2010 (UTC)[[User talk:Anubis 10545|Anubis 10545]]
::Just for the record, this does work on Windows 7, and very well at that.[[User talk:PotatoBird|PotatoBird]] 16:37, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
:::It does run well on Windows 7 but can run into a few problems in the last few levels. I found running it in ''Compatibility Mode'' under ''Vista (Service Pack 2)'' can help produce a both stable and constantly high grade of performance. Also using ATi's Catalyst Control Centre may throw up a few errors and gitters. [[User:LeMansRacer|LeMansRacer]] 16:55, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 
==Available for Mac OS X?==
 
Does anybody know if ''Halo 2 Vista'' is available for Mac OS X? I'd like to get it and play it, but I need to know if there is a version that can be played on Mac OS X, or in my case, a MacBook Pro. Does anybody know? --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 14:43, 5 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330
 
:As per article, ''Halo 2 Vista is a ported PC version of Halo 2 ... for use on the <u>Windows</u> Vista operating system <u>exclusively</u>...''. Alternative methods to run H2V on a Mac OSX is to either run it via Windows with bootcamp, or run a mod-app such as WINE with Crossover and Cider. As always, Google is your friend. — <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 15:55, 5 December 2011 (EST)
 
::Thanks. I'll keep searching and looking on Google, though so far I haven't had much luck though. I was hoping to get a little bit more information on here, but apparently it is as I have read and thought: Nope, not playable in Mac without some kind of interface program. I had thought maybe they'd done the same thing they did with ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo 2 Vista'', probably under a different name excluding "Vista", but it seems it wasn't so. I must say I am a little disappointed. Oh well. Things will change for me soon... --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 16:06, 5 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330
 
:::Well, H2V was released by Microsoft simply with the aim to boost the sales of Windows Vista whereas HCE was simply to cater fans who prefer to play it on the PC/Mac.— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 16:08, 5 December 2011 (EST)
 
:::Hey, just wondering: will it successfully run using an emulator of some kind? Like VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, or other such programs? I'd really like to know. Otherwise, I may have to go buy a Windows laptop computer. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 18:02, 4 October 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330
