Have not played 2 yet but when I played through the first one I though it was so repetitive, to a point of being boring. I think the popularity of the multiplayer is why it's so hyped.
ATI Catalyst doesn't work in Vista?

Don't go out and trash ATI when you apparently didn't even look for drivers. ATI has top-notch driver support for Vista and releases new drivers every month.
The reason you have such terrible performance is you're using the drivers that CAME WITH VISTA, and their purpose is to allow you to run the OS and that's about it. If you're going to be playing games you need the latest drivers.
i think halo was a huge hit on xbox 1 but the idea of M$ milking the halo franchise for all its worth is showing what a failure they are making of it.

Basically... I mean Halo is really the only shooter on xbox with decent multiplayer. They don't have a lot of options so whenever something mediocre comes around they have to cling to it like nothing else. It just shouldn't be ported onto the PC where we actually have the good shooters and we know how bad halo is in comparison.

I thought Halo 1 was a well-done port.
Only exception is the lack of AA on Halo 1. The controls are on par with any other fps game.
And the game was repititve. The enemies were all the same.

That's strange. I have a 7800GTX, Athlon X2 s939 3800+ and 3GB of RAM and it runs really well. I play at 1280x1024 with max AA and every other setting. I never measured the FPS but it's definitely not sluggish, I would say at least 30+FPS which is fine for me. The mouse controls do seem really awkward though. I had to turn the sensitivity up to max (which they call insane ha) so that I could feel even a little comfortable. I thought they did a better job with the optimizations than Halo 1 though. Halo 1 for PC was really trash and performance was bad.
Halo series games as a whole are fun but really nothing compared to the other PC shooters and I agree the series is way overhyped. Now that I've finished it, I probably won't touch it again till I get really bored. Didn't like the ending either.

The game was originally coded to run under essentially a 700mhz celeron, 64mb of ram and a geforce 3.
It SHOULD run at at least 200-300fps on your system...30fps is ridiculous.

And honestly, having installed both ATI and nVidia drivers in Vista, ATI is so far ahead in their driver installation package - it looks far more professional and it seems to deal much more gracefully with the Vista API. Yeah.. I'm going to have to agree on this one - ATI's Vista Drivers are almost a model to live by right now. Why the hell don't more companies have decent Vista drivers? They had the damn OS for over a year before it came out. Lazy buggers.

You're rating the driver based on the appearance of the install package? Get back to me when you care about the important attributes like speed and stability.
OP, I feel your pain. Game is sluggish on my end too, no matter what resolution I play at, even with settings turned way down. Although I don't have the latest and greatest system, Oblivion and Stalker run much better at higher resolutions.

Boy do I ever want to try this now. Hopefully it will work decently on my system!
I did not even realize it was out yet!

people who never played PC, they never had decent multiplayer before, and Halo was the first game to do so on consoles, for all of us PC gamers out there who've had much better, it's not that great.
wow... i was considering getting halo 2 when i got vista, and based on all this stuff i guess im not. i played halo 1, and yes the mouse was somewhat fvcked up but it was manageable, at least to me.
oh HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL no to those who say that Halo 1 was a well done port. Do any of you guys actually remember the system requirements it needed back then?!!?1

I actually enjoyed Halo 1 for PC. Maybe I'm crazy!
I actually doubt Halo 2 will be as enjoyable because I think they dumbed some things down, but I still really want to try it out!

I thought Halo 1 was a decent enough game, certainly not as good as Half Life or the like, but worthy of finishing.
It sure ran like complete ass though, I don't even remember what box I had back then, but I do remember that I had pretty damn near as good a rig as you could get, and the damn thing still didn't run well.
Ah well, due to driver issues, I'm going back to XP anyway, so it's not like Halo2 is within the realm of possibilities to begin with
