Halo 2 Vista FAQ

[Agamemnon]

New update. A recent Gamespot update revealed some recommended specs for Halo 2 Vista. This is, to this date, the only true bit of info we have on the specs.

Release date added. Also revamped the multiplayer question.

Ok, i just wanna clarify this, there will be..

NO host advantage

and

NO leading (point your cross hair a mile away from your opponent to get a direct shot)

In H2V?

[Agamemnon]

I'll let you know when it comes out.

i don't think there is autoaim for mouse and keyboard, but there is for X360 controller. And what is host advantage?

[TheGhost]

Gah, I still hate how h2pc.org is the "top community" or whatever. Their forums had like no posts for 5 weeks.

Don't worry, this site will overcome them sooner or later .

Anyway i know that the x360 controler has that aim helper (auto aim, if you wanna call it) but what im talking about is lead in Halo PC, different servers are of different styles, i think they made HaloPC's netcode in such a way, that if your living in the East and fighting someone in the West, you need to point your crosshair cms away from the actual target to get a direct hit, which is quite tricky, and pisses players off. Host advantage is called when the host of a server DOES NOT have to lead, and can damage anyone just by aiming and shooting. Host advantage is a way a lot of begginers think they are pros, and own ppl (i have seen in the Halo PC community) and when they go to other servers, they get owned, and blame it on something else. I really hope Bungie takes those 2 things away, it would help Halo 2 Vista SOOOOOOO much more.

Plz, correct me if im wrong.

*sigh* Fine. Let this FAQ be BK4U then Ghostie. They were the first though; that I remember. He does have a lot of great news posts too.

I know what you mean, i think our site should support clans and host clan battles and make dedi servers too! H2Vista.net can surpass it no problem.

Anyway i got a question... Vista Premium Ready is ... Vista Premium edition (e.g. Home Premium) right? What does HDD mean? And can someone explain what Pixel Shader 2.0 is? I am referring to the requirements for Vista. I seems as though my computer CAN be eligible to upgrade to Vista, im not sure when i bought it, but it was maximum 3 years ago, but i doubt it was 3 years.

Vista Premium Ready
Processor...................1 GHz
Memory.......................1GB RAM
GPU.............................DirectX 9 with Pixel Shader 2.0
GPU Memory...............128 MB RAM
HDD capacity...............40GB
HDD free space...........15GB
HDD type....................Normal
Other Drives...............DVD-ROM

Vista Premium Ready isn't referring to the edition of Vista, it's like the recommended system specifications for a game. HDD is your hard drive. Pixel shading is something used for rendering in games, which is done by the graphics card. As for your PC specifically, use this tool:

That should help you figure out if it will run.
