Halo 2 for Xp?

[xXGaaraoftheFunkXx]

does anyone know the hack or a place to download a hack that will let me install/play/play-online halo 2 on XP? I have DirectX 10 but i don't want to get the most useless OS ever and DON'T ask me how I got it, it takes too long to explain...

If you don't have Vista, you don't have DirectX 10.

As for the most useless OS ever... not really... Vista is pretty decent. No reason to upgrade from XP though, so if your computer is preloaded with XP... keep that... if you have a free choice? Vista would be my pick. Works well... just differently from the way people know it. Most issues I've seen people complain about are really quick fixes they just would rather complain about than attempt to fix.

Besides, Halo 2 Vista is DirectX9 only... there's no DX10 features in it.

As for the hack... http://halo2xp.tk/ that appears to be a hack. Never tried it though as I have Vista... and really don't play Halo 2 anyway.

Just to let you know, its works. But do buy a real copy of the game, then get that to work on XP.

We don't give two shits if you have DX10 on your XP or not. We're telling you that H2V uses DX9. Also, just buy Vista. You can't go online or gain achievements in the XP hack.

Look at page 22 of the manual that came with the game. Bottom left.
Go to zeph's site, then read
Also, no you dont have DX10, but its okay, I dont either

I think he is referring to the Half ported version of DX10 to XP. It doese'nt work well at all.

DirectDraw from DirectX10 works on XP but that's it if I can remember.

This thread has peaked my interest, and I'm trying to install H2V on XP... It's been at "Installing Halo 2 for Windows Vista" for like ten minutes now.. :/

Can I sign into Live to message my xbox friends? That's really all I care about.
