Reasons to upgrade to Vista: Halo 2?
It’s official, Halo 2 for the PC has finally been announced, but there’s a catch: You’ll need to upgrade to Vista to run it. At best, this means a Holiday 2006 release. The question remains though, how much impact would a two year old game have on upgrade sales of Vista? And will it really need Vista to run?
The answer to the first question this news poster does not have, but if 2000/XP only games such as DOOM3, Call of Duty: UO, and etc are any indication, a quick MSI hack using Orca may be all that’s necessary for Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 users to enjoy Halo 2 on their PC. This is of course only speculation.
Microsoft has announced that the PC version of Halo 2 will only work on the new version of Windows called Vista.
The decision could make it expensive for many to play the game if they have to buy the new version of Windows and extra hardware for their PC.
Microsoft has given no definite release date for Vista but it is expected to be available by the end of 2006.
