If you need to be told what Halo is, well, welcome to the sunlit surface world; hopefully you will find it comfortable after living in a cave for the past few years. We call this land America. In it, we have video games, one of which is Halo. Released three years ago as a launch title for the Xbox, Halo told the story of the war between humanity and the Covenant, a collection of races bent on activating an ancient and powerful weapon, which came in the form of the massive ringworld called Halo, for the purpose of fulfilling a religious prophecy. Had they succeeded, they would?ve managed to end all life in the Milky Way, but it was Master Chief who managed to foil their plans, by destroying Halo.
As Halo 2 opens, a new battle erupts, this one beginning with the appearance of a Covenant fleet above Earth itself. It?s up to the same cast of characters to repel the Covenant from the planet?s surface, and in the process discover why they?ve come....
Anyone who played Halo 2 will likely be familiar with many of the returning features and vehicles, but don?t fret if this is your first introduction to the universe of Halo, because we?ve got you covered. In this guide, you?ll find a complete bestiary of the enemies you?ll encounter, an armory readout on the various weapons in the game, a listing of the vehicles you?ll drive, and, of course, an exhaustive walk-through for the single-player campaign.
Note: This is only for Windows VISTA but there is a XP crack at the bottom of this page.
Installation Instructions:
1) Extract the archive.
2) Insert the Halo 2 DVD
3) Run Startup.exe on the Halo 2 DVD using the included Loader.exe Ie.: Loader.exe D:\Startup.exe
4) Install the game.
5) Install XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi and vcredist.msi from the \redists dir on the Halo 2 DVD.
6) Copy the following files into the directory you installed Halo 2:
dwmapi.dll, mf.dll, MFPlat.dll
7) Finished. To play the game, run halo2.exe using the included Loader.exe Ie.: Loader.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2\halo2.exe"
Notes:
You need to be logged in with an administrator account for Loader.exe to work, since it uses privileged API's. Currently the code for playing the intro and credits movies is unimplemented, so if you want to see them you'll have to play them yourself (they're located in \movie). I haven't tested the online functionality of the game, it will probably need more attention.
Copy mf.dll from NoGrp (xp patch) into \\WINDOWS\\System32 and copy mf.dll from Razor1911 into your game directory.
For those having problems with activation after first level in XP.
I've used Halo_2_Repack-Razor1911 for the installation.
Performance goes up 30% with XP. Graphics detail high! Everything loads faster too!
