You know, it'd be one thing if this announcement were about Halo 3 instead of 2. That'd at least make sense. But, as has already been iterated repeatedly, noone's gonna upgrade for such a retarded reason. Especially for an old game. Half the PC gamers won't care, and the other half will have already beaten it on an Xbox anyhow. Noone's gonna buy it again unless there's some enormous expansion. This is part of the problem as it is when it comes to developers idiotically releasing a PC version of a game WAAAAY after then console versions were released instead of simultaneously. Then all those developers and publishers sit there wondering why the hell the PC version of a game doesn't sell as well (GTA: San Andreas, anyone?) as if the whole world hasn't played it already. Likewise, I don't exactly recall the masses running out to buy Halo 1 for PC after its eventual release, either. Mind you, many were still mad that it was dangled in front of them before being snatched away to Xbox to begin with.

Maybe he saw the furry hybrid on the last episode of Surface, got scared, and decided something needed to be done ;)
