I'm not going to link to a crack (and the patch above doesn't come with it either), but I can confirm that you can finish the entire single player campaign flawlessly on Windows XP once the game thinks it's activated.Īnd before you get on my ass about the crack, I payed for the full game, and I've gone through and properly activated it on my laptop (which is running Vista), so I personally don't have a problem with using a crack so I can play the single player campaign on my desktop running XP.
The only way to get around the activation problem is to use a cracked mf.dll to activate your game (which still leaves you unable to play multi player). Halo 2 will install the full game and allow you to play through the first level before asking you to activate, but due to the way the hacked launcher works, this doesn't bring you to the activation screen, leaving you stuck in 'demo mode'. Click to expand.The only problem that has yet to be solved, is activation of the game.
