dwarfer Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Does anybody know of any patches or workarounds that will get Halo 2 to run on anything other than Vista? I wouldn't mind but I just plain don't like Vista.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albator Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 No, Shadowrun and Halo, even if they dont use direct10, are only supported only on vista.It's Microsoft way to force you to buy their new OS. I dont like Vista neither, and I don't racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbolt 2864 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yeah, its so clear and transparent of Microsoft just to make Halo 2 compatible with Vista, so you would buy their s***ty OS. Stupid Microsoft, they really did it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicket20519 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Apparently, Falling Leaf Systems wants people to be able to play Halo 2 on XP, too! Here's the original article:http://nikon.bungie.org/news.html?item=18626 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendrag Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 only MS funded developers will develop games soley for vista at this point... Valve released new survey specs and only 5% of respondents actually use vista, where 93% use XP. No developer in their right mind would throw 93% away for 5%, it just isn't fiscally responsible.

#rootworm Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Halo2 was a huge letdown for me when i got it for Xbox. Seriously, this game kinda sucks. The story is crap and the game is short...really short. I think most places rate it at 10 hours of gameplay, but I don't think it lasted more than 7 hours for me.on top of that the graphics are probably still DX8.you're better off trying a real shooter for the PC.

albator Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yes, but Shadowrun is vista only, so many SM games in the future risk to be vista exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicket20519 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well, apparently another group beat Fallingleaf, releasing a patch/crack that lets users play Halo 2 on XP. Some people say it works, some say it doesn't. Don't know if I'm allowed to post it or not, but if you use google, you'll find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 there is a loader which allows you to install and run Halo2 on XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper187 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 The **** loader doesn't work for me. and yes, I actually bought the game. I'm not buying Vista. That's for goddamn sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 i think that there are some cracked versions that work on xp for download somewhere, i'm not really sure. you could try one of those if you can find it and just use your key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to play the campaign, and I'm not activating anything for that. I'll use one of the workarounds I've seen. The funny thing is the XP trainer for Halo 2 appears to be better than the Vista ones. However, I've not seen a complete version of it, just the trial one with most options disabled.

Viper187 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) Something that people should be aware of beofre attempting ot run Halo 2 on XP is that it requires SP2. The game/loader doesn't work on SP1 even with the .net framework 2.0, nor does it work on XP 64-bit. Edited August 18, 2007 by Viper187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
