Halo 2 Vista is a flop. My review

Yes you can, you can window it. Try it yourself.

Um, not true. In a lot of other games, you can adjust your FOV without having to use half of your monitor.

I don't think you mean as an in-game setting?

By the way you guys, isn't all this bickery childs play?

The review's just his opinion, so leave it at that.

We wouldn't have forums if we didn't argue. Or politics.

i dont have the game but as far as i know FOV doesnt change just because you window it... i know it doesnt for HPC/CE so unless they added some crazy shit to h2v... you are wrong.

well when halo 3 does come out, it should be great since h2v and Vista itself was horrible but i'm not saying vista is horrible and it has its uses too but come on! a service pack already?!?! quality always beats fast-paced quantity

Vista: SP1 Is just being spoken of about a beta right now. It seems more recently that either a closed invite only beta has been proposed by inner sources. But nothing to be quoted upon, or an open beta. It seems the latter of the two would be their first choice. But there has been the new open beta trend seen from Microsoft lately, so who knows?

Final statement; they will focus on quality, from my experience both SP1 and SP2 for XP did a tremendous amounts of good things. At least for stability, not speed. Now that I'm using Vista, I have noticed any real hiccups or loss in performance, they did a pretty good job, provided you have the PC power to back it up. People only complain it sucks because of past experiences, and not having capable hardware.

I'm not taking about just windowing, you need to make it widescreen. But because many people lack a widescreen monitor, windowing is the best option unless you like really tall marines.

Why should I run 1920x1080 in windowed when I run it fullscreen as is? :eyesroll:

I know that, but that was not my point. It is good to see widescreens getting a bigger FOV in H2V though. That is the whole point of gaming with a widescreen, after all.
