Halo 2 PC system requirements


Recommended Posts

I've heard from a friend that there will be a minimum Windows Experience Index value of 4.5 to run HALO 2 under Vista.

Does somebody of you know if this terrible info (my index is 4.3...) is right or not?

Thanks a lot

I guess he was right, looking at this minimum requirements gives you an idea of that 4.3 index thing, with these specs below probably sums it up to 4.3.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

OS: Windows Vista?

Processor: 2 Ghz Pentium 4 class processor (or x64)

RAM: 1 GB

Hard Drive: 7 GB

Video Card: DX9 graphics card: WDDM driver, PS 2.0/32BPP, At least nVidia 6000 or ATI x700 or above

Online Multi-player: Internet connection for Games for Windows ? LIVE

Drive: DVD-ROM drive

and the official website of Halo 2 for PC http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo2/

i hope this helps you

i thought it was dx10 only. ::shrugs::

That would possibly be for Recommended Specs, they haven't revealed that yet.

Nah its "Vista" only. They wouldnt alienate there market that much by having a 2+ year old game using DX10 only so only the very early adopters of the hardware can play it.

That said theyre probably alienating enough customers already making it Vista only.

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
