The original Halo was a ground breaking success in many ways . Not only did it revolutionize the FPS(First Person Shooter) genre, it also boosted the sales of Xbox to such an extent that it came to be known as “the game that sold Xbox. Released in 2004, Halo 2 is a sequel. Microsoft, the game’s creators, claimed to have had 15 lakh pre-orders for Halo 2, which is lot for a game.
After the lunch of Vista, it wasn’t selling as expected so the top bosses made Halo 2 just for Vista thereby compelling Die hard gamers to buy Vista.
According to my research this strategy has paid off.But cracks and patches for forcing Halo 2 run in Windows XP have popped up on the web. Although I recommend you to run Halo 2 in Vista because it was made to run in Vista and DirectX 10 is better.Cracks could unstable and crack your PC
