    Sigh. Its out now as a Windows For Games title and will only ever be available for Windows Vista. I strongly doubt any rumours that it will be released on xp will turn out to be true.

    Yeah, it probably won't be released though there are methods to run the Vista version on XP but I'm not sure of the legality so I'm saying nothing.

    Apparently some company called Falling Leaf Systems is planning on releasing some special program in July, which is probably what you've heard about. No idea who there are or why they are any different from the hackers that have already done their job, though.

    I read of a working XP patch on Megagames. They tested it and said it was working.

    http://www.megagames.com/news/html/p...alo2also.shtml

    It says that nobody got the Falling leaf one to work, but that one by NoGrp does indeed work for Halo 2. It also mentions how to get Shadowrun working on XP.

    "The Halo 2 hack, released by NoGrp, has been tested by MegaGames and confirmed to be working flawlessly (apart from the intro movie not playing)."

    "Shadowrun fans can now enjoy it on Windows XP, Thanks to "oldschool cracker" Razor 1911"

    No idea. I dont have Halo 2, so I cant verify it, but I cant imagine Megagames would write that without knowing for sure it works. Are you sure you did everything as per instructions?

    Try the Megagames forums, they're pretty good for this kind of stuff

    Yeah I have seen a few patches, and can only suggest google

    Are you talking about the Alky project? I think it might be just a tad more delayed than that, there aren't many programmers working on it IIRC

    Not a clue, just going off what I read on Eurogamer. I've never rated Halo, so didn't bother to follow it up.
