id say between 64 and 128Mb graphics card due to that well not a lot of people will buy H2V, cause already you need a new operating system, let alone that not many kids are gonna buy vista just to play H2, so they cant make the system requirements too high cause basically you will have to buy a new comp or upgrade and buy vista and H2 Edited by H Guru on Jan 4, 2007 at 09:36 AM

well im 100% sure you will not need a 100mbs internet connection, you also will not need 512Mb DDR2 Ram, you will just need a basic 512Mb Ram, and you will not need a 128Mb gfx card,
read my minimum specifications thats more like it of what you will need
100% DirectX 10.0
at least 512Mb Ram
Pentium 4, 1.8 Ghz processor or higher
256Kbps Minimum internet speed
64/128Mb Video card
at least 2.00 GB of Hard Disk space

Has anyone besides me found the idioticly high estimate for the internet connection speed?! The only thing that goes that fast is a frickin T3, and to have that connection is close to a thousand dollars a month! No, i think that the RECOMMENDED speed will be 3Mbps, just like my broadband cable. I mean, even xbox 360 on xbox live uses less bandwidth than that. like, half of that.
So, if i were you, change your estimates, there is no way in HELL H2V will require that... it's just idiotic to think that. No game in EXISTENCE requires anything close to that speed.

Quote: My internet speed is 108 Mbps Youre internet speed will not be 108Mbs unless you live in an office, which i doubt, you mean youre router\network card is 108Mbs, Not youre internet speed

note that that's in Canadian dollars, and it wasn't achieved through a deal; the internet was gotten seperately. Not to mention I don't own my modem, its on 'rental' from Rogers.

actually, just because it wasn't that intensive on the xbox, doesn't mean that it won't on the computer. If you actually read Bungie's Vista updates you'd know the game is massively being tweaked around (particle systems, lighting systems, specular/shadow, etc...) so we really have no way of knowing what the requirements are. Only that they're going to play on Vista Machines, which means they can set the requirements pretty high without worry.

well, here's mine...
HP Pavillion 522n 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 256 MB RAM (DDR SD)
Graphics: e-GeForce MX 4000 PCI 128 MB RAM
pretty sad, I know... but I built it from scratch, and it does me well (despite it being a b*** all the time lol)

so, when Halo 2 Vista is released, you're looking at at least THAT as your minimum.

you can probably use any generic game pad with it. I know you can with halo pc. I use one for it sometimes when my desk is too cluttered to use keyboard and mouse.

Paintraine all youre system requirements are way over what they will be such as, Quote: Video Card: DirectX® 10-compliant Shader 2.0 card with 128 MB of VRAM (256 MB recommended) There is no way its going to be 256Mb recommended, more like 64mb minimum, anad 128 recommended, Quote: Processor: 1.8 GHz Pentium® IV or equivalent (2.4 GHz recommended)
This is kinda way over aswell, looking at around a 1.3Ghz id say

most likely i have a pci-e but it will be moe about the memory on the gfx card than what it inputs, cause if its high in memory it wil be high in core speed

Quote: Processor: 2.4 GHz Pentium® IV or equivalent (3.0 GHz recommended, 1.4 GHz dual-core processor recommended for best experience) more likely a 1.4Ghz, they wont make it need triple what the original Halo was Quote: RAM: 1024 MB ( 1536 MB for increased performance, 2048 MB for best experience) most like 512Mb, due to halo 1 needed 128Mb Quote: Multiplay: 512 Kbps upstream or faster that will be the reccomended as Halo 1 needed at least 56K to play on servers, and broadband to host
