Can't find patch or help any where from Microsoft. Don't waste your money on this game

Big Brother Strikes Again

M$ (Big Brother) are pulling every trick they can to get us to buy Windows VISTA. HALO 2 is a prime example. You want to play the game? GET VISTA!!! Not likely! With so many people going back to XP from VISTA, this game is doomed from the off. Just take a few minutes to read the disastrous reviews for VISTA (all versions and upgrades), and you'll see just how bad the situation is. People are now actually demanding XP before buying new PC's and Laptops, so bad is the reputation of VISTA, and it's growing. Remember Windows ME? VISTA is 4x worse!

What a disaster! I've been looking forward to this game for quite a while now, and if the graphics are anything to go by, nothing much has improved. If M$ want to alienate their loyal users, they sure are going the right way about it.

If you're thinking of getting VISTA to run this, do yourself a favour and buy a console instead. It will cost you less in most cases, and you'll still have a PC that works properly.

Wait a minute....

Activation? ACTIVATION??
C'mon.... I paid you my money, so now I should be able to install/uninstall as I need to. Take a lesson from Valves Steam... with them I dont feel like I'm being punished.
I played the 1st couple minutes that MS allows you with out activation and decided it wasnt worth it.
Uninstall, goodbye!

I really love the Halo game, but haven't played it yet, because it isn't loading on my PC. Starting to get upset. Is there supposed to be more than one disc with this? If I get this thing running I may change this review, but until then... not happening. Or an exchange or refund.

Halo 2 This s/w can only be used with Windows Vista and I do not have windows vista, I have Windows XP. Thus I waisted my money on a product I can not use.

Game wouldn't even install

I wasted 4 hours trying to get this game to install on my computer. I would put in the disc, click on install and the window would go away and nothing would happen. I even checked and updated all my drivers and still nothing.

My computer is a top of the line Dell XPS system that more than meets the system requirements. There is no reason this game shouldn't work.

Never Again

I bought Halo 2 for the PC excited about trying it on my brand-new Vista machine. I have had it for over a year now and have yet to be able to actually play the game all the way through.
I went through the agony of having to create a Live account, and then having the game not "see" the account (but not let me log in because I'm "already logged in"). I experienced the unfun joys of having Halo 2 randomly tell me my savegame file is corrupted and I have to start again. I had updates crash the game, my license key invalidate itself, and after unanswered support e-mails, it took me multiple calls and over 3 hours on the phone to get someone to fix the problem. They had to do this by removing my license key, issuing me a new one, and telling me I'd lose all my "achievements" and account info. That wasn't a great loss, since the program would regularly log me into Live, then say, "You are not logged into Live. You will not be able to have any Achievements. Sorry about that." A lot of the messages I get in Halo 2 say, "Sorry about that." Sorry, indeed.

By the time I actually got the game to work (with shuddering framerate and random dropouts in sound), I was just angry. Angry at all the "Sorry" messages, angry at the hassle I have to click through just to load a saved game, and angry at the constant savegame level resets. I see new Microsoft Games for Windows titles, and I feel I'd be stupid to put risk putting myself through that again.

Wow. I am sorry, this game sucked. People with normal computers. Good luck.
You seriously need a powerful computer to play this game.
The requirement says nVidia 6000 cards or higher? You need a 8000 or higher.
2Ghz processor? More like 2.7GHz.
Windows Vista, not not so good.
Direct X 10. Good
But I sadly am disappointed in this game.

Of course it said requires Windows Vista in tiny letters

Don't bother buying this unless you went for Microsofts scam for more money. I have Windows XP like normal people and as it turns out, I need to buy a whole nother system just to play it. I didn't so screw PC gaming, I'm back to the best console on the market, the 360 and the Wii is a bad console.
