Halo 2 Vista Impressions

Anyone picking this up? It feels like there is alot of hate for this game because of it's Vista exclusivity.

I tried it at my friends place this past Saturday and I am enjoying it. It plays exactly like the Xbox version (which I guess is the point) btu with K/M suuport and Sharper visuals.

What I really like is the online though. I couldnt get into the xbox version because I just couldnt compete with a controller but on the PC it feels much better and now I can browse for games so I can find a 24/7 Coagulation CTF server (something that couldnt be done on the xbox version unless you had 6+ friends who really loved Halo 2).

Performance is pretty good, I am able to run it with everything on high with smooth framerates on my e6600 (2.4GHZ core 2 duo), 2GB RAM, and Radeon X1950 Pro. I heard though it pays pretty rough with only 1 GB RAM.

So basically, it feels like an Xbox game on the PC.

Good job upgrading the game for the PC MS. Say what you want about bashing MS, but cmon, they basically do a straight port of Halo 2 years later, and make it Vista only to boot. Even though I have Vista this just seems stupid.
