Halo 2

[!HaGaR!]

Hm... Maybe offtopic... But as Halo 2 is a Vista-only game by "software" as it does not use dx10 yet... Is it than against the rules/eula to release a win xp crack (if there will be one at all).

Just asking because of curiosity and for maybe future titles as I am not interested in halo 2. Halo 1 also sucked in my opinion. So I won´t give the second shot a try^^

Maybe something to add to the rules? Nevertheless we saw some Win-98-fixes for games which should only support 2k/XP-Systems... Can´t remember exactly... Doom 3 maybe? Or was it some other unreal-engined game!?

Similarly to copy protection, a cheap trick - like, yes, in DOOM 3 - forcing you to upgrade your operating system is the publisher's stupidity or money-hunger and their customers should raise their voice against these. Which is exactly why sites like GCW exist! So I don't think a non-Vista patch for Halo 2 would be against the site/forum rules... (Not crack in the usual sense as it's not copy protected; see http://fileforums.com/showthread.php...956#post341956).

(And, yes, I didn't like the first Halo either... )

Who cares if is legal or not Microscum break users rights making this "Windows Vista only" garbage : If they did maybe after 3 years or 4 years after vista release when xp were less used and people pass the time period whne as OS is too new and the bus must addressed could be justificable but making for faster is rididculus . So Microcrap broke it's right using this unfair tactic against their users.Most companies doesn't do craps likethat . But Generally M$ does


And apart from that the crack just make the game compatible with xp doesn't break copy protection or the serial so I don't see the problem

I guess the real problem will come if M$ releases update patches of Halo 2 to fix or the other game they did this ( can't remember the name right now) coz the crack could stop function and it will need an updated version ( and We never know if the cracker will update the program or not)
