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

Did you check that website out? Also it does take ages to install.

You can sign into live...but you have to do some manual update/tweaking.

Requires Windows LIVE, which doesnt fully work on XP.

You cant even play lan which sucks, so you cant make a game and play coagulation or whatever, its litterally only SP.

If some one finds a way to play non SP maps, like coagulation or any custom maps, let me know :O

Can't you just install Live on xp and run it. Then check out the error and find a way to fix it?? I am sure it just needs simple .dll files that aren't on xp. Yeah it would be hard to do but very doable.

You need to actually sign into LIVE, and LIVE doesnt work on XP...

Give it a try if you want...

It's been proven time and time again that Halo 2 will not work on XP for a long time. While we welcome people attempting to hack the game so it will run on XP with no problem, the current patches that exist can only barely get singleplayer to run on XP, and this is why we do not support this. If you want to play Halo 2 for Windows Vista, then simply buy Windows Vista and stop complaining.
