Tell me, is it true that it's only going to be for vista?

It is.

1.) it will be DX9, so it will look graphically inferior.

2.) good luck playing a shooter on a laptop

3.) vista is a memory hog, so Halo will lag up.

Wouldn't doubt it for a second, FFBuu, but don't underestimate my laptop. It surprises me sometimes. If it's going to be lag up continuously, I can always get rid of files from my old laptop that I transfered, cut down on programs, and whatever else. Besides, Intel Core Duo is basically:

Cutting edge processing power and advanced performance in multitasking environments intense multithreaded games and applications.

And besides, you can't expect all computers/laptops to have the same power from a machine -made- for graphic gaming .

Timeout, from everything I've read so far, it will actually look BETTER on Vista than on the original Xbox, just so long as you have a good enough card built into your compy. And so long as you have an actual mouse it shouldn't be to hard. What I'm really excited about is the built in custom edition. If you don't have online play, then you can spend some time perfecting your own custom maps

I can actually buy an adapter that will let me use a controller from the 360 and use it for the game on my laptop. I think I remember seeing the price at $20. That would be kinda useful, eh?

Update on Halo2 for Vista.....

It seems that Microsoft post-poned the game to June 1..... So now I have to wait longer for it. I did, however, manage to grab a hold on the adapter device for the 360 controller to work on my pc, and it seems to be working just as I thought it would. Now all I need is a game to play it with.......

It's easy to edit ; ;
