Halo 2 Only on Vista
iLogiK writes "Halo 2 will be available for PC, but only in Windows Vista. From the announcement: 'Halo 2 the game that redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action for millions of gamers worldwide, is set to explode onto PCs exclusively for Windows Vista. Halo 2 for Windows Vista will be developed by a dedicated Microsoft Game Studios team in partnership with Bungie Studios.'" That's one way to force upgrades. I thought just not releasing patches for the microsoft-worm-of-the-week would be enough ;)
Vista to become the most popular download on gaming torrents sites... ;)
With spending like this, exactly what are "conservatives" conserving?
I guess I'll just stick to Worms then!

I look forward to 2011, when it's released.
The guy that runs the crackpot science site has proof that Microsoft is secretly working on a Linux port.

>>Or you could just boot Linux onto your Xbox 1, run windows Vista through an emulation, then play Halo 2.
You are kidding right? Right?
So rise up, all ye lost ones, as one, we'll claw the clouds.
i really doubt that halo2 will be exploding onto the PC market.
I think we've all learned what to expect from a year-late ports of mediocre games.
and what exactly is it that halo2 will require that xp can't provide? is the engine more demanding than doom3 or source?
thanks for selling out, again, bungie...
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
... 2k is still chugging along fine for the rest of us.
You just said Windows ME is greater than Windows 2000.
Speech fails me.
IWARS.
People, in general, disappoint me. Politicians even more so.
I would like to know exactly what Halo brought to the gaming market that "redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action..."
Limited turn speeds, large rings which don't affect gameplay, and duh.. Master Chief.
But really, for the first 30 minutes of the game, I thought those little aliens were on my side. I mean, they looked cute and harmless, they made cute little noises, and since they weren't shooting me, I thought they were providing cover fire for.

Probably at least a year before Vista comes out.
