 HALO 2 IS AWESOME!! September 20, 2008
Great game! Really worth it for people that don't own xbox and wants to play Halo 2
 They screwed up the game September 9, 2008
never, I repeat NEVER port a game that was meant to run on DirectX 9 to DirectX 10, this game has more bugs than paris hilton has STDs! Online mode isn't even PLAYABLE because its trying too hard to be something its not, please, PLEASE, just buy Halo 2 on Xbox, or if you only have a PC, Halo: Combat Evolved, then get the Halo: Custom Edition download. It still has a great community and an awesome online, and the newest patch lets you play it without a CD!
Of course it said requires Windows Vista in tiny letters September 1, 2008

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.
Regular destops just won't do it. August 5, 2008

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.

How odd that one of the worst software companies in the world, Microsoft, who can't develop a decent operating system to date (Vista!) could actually be a part of the incredibly brilliant production of Halo2. I actually enjoyed this amazing work of art, an A in every catagory from the getgo. If there was ever a standard that all game developers should strive for, its this game. How about a novel idea, fire the morons at the microsoft operating system development area and let the Halo crew write the next operating system! Now thats crew ready to take off!
