    Halo 2 PC

    Unfortunately, it's Windows Vista-only. If you don't know, Windows Vista is a new operating system due out, according to the article, the second half of this year. Either Windows XP isn't powerful enough to play Halo 2 (which would explain why Halo 2 is being released so late for the PC), or Microsoft just wants it to be a selling point for everyone to get Windows Vista as fast as everyone snatched the Xbox 360. (which would explain it too, I guess)

    I'm psyched. I'm normally not allowed to play M games, but I just mentioned it to my folks and I might be able to get if I "[insert motherly voice] Keep doing hard with your school work!" (:P)

    Anyone else excited?

      As long as there's a Halo 2 CE, I'll be satisfied.

        You mean a Halo: Combat Evolved campaign revamped into Halo 2?

        Yeah, that would be cool.

            The PC version of Halo 2 will offer the full single-player campaign and multiplayer maps of the original Xbox version, with the addition of the content in the Multiplayer Map Pack as well as a tool for building and customizing levels.

              Well I heard the news, it's not like I read the article. xD

                Damn right it's about time. Too bad it's only for Vista though, our next computer will most probably be an iMac. Sounds great though.

                  I'm not upgrading my PC just for Halo 2. From what my PC friends say, it's never good to upgrade to an OS just around the time it's released.

                    ^ Very true. Might be a good idea to wait a month (or maybe more) before buying Vista when it's released.

                      I'll grab Vista when I get my next PC. No need to rush here.

                        If Vista is around for a while which it probably will be, it will definitely be worth it to get it, not just for Halo 2, I agree.
