Halo 3 In Stores On September 25th
Officially announced on the Bungie website (now with Luke Smith action), Halo 3 will be in stores on September 25th of this year. The multiplayer Beta for the game begins today; if you're looking for some answers they have an extensive online guide available for curious minds. MTV's Stephen Totilo had a chance to have some good chats with the developers, and he points out three things every Beta player should do, as well as a proposal for an unusual alternate scoring system for bad players. GameDaily has just a few more details, including some information on the tie-in Zune device Microsoft is offering to enflame fanboy passions.
Halo 3 isn't supposed run on XP, you'll have to upgrade to Vista.....
It's worse. This is Halo 2 you're talking about. It's 2 that requires Vista. 3 isn't even coming on a PC any time soon.
I suppose they'll release Halo 3 in few years, and it'll run only on Vienna (the next major windows release).
It's quite sad really. You can't make someone upgrade to Vista to run a 5 year old game that could run just as well on Windows 98. Just like you can't give Zune prizes and imagine people will not notice it's not an iPod.
Microsoft should maybe start thinking how their product may stand on their own, versus going for a multitude of random cheapshots like this.
