Halo 2 PC Vista hints - briefly
(hx) 12:14 AM CET - Dec,10 2006 - Post a comment / read (1)
The latest Bungie.net update offers a Q&A with the folks at Digital Domain which created this week pre-rendered Halo 3 trailer but also a quick update with more hints about the PC Vista version of Halo 2: We know some of you want to hear more about the online plans for Halo 2 on Windows Vista. Microsoft will soon have a lot more to say about the Live gaming and entertainment network on Windows, but what we can tell you now is that you'll be able to play H2V online and even interact with your friends on the Xbox 360 at zero cost (although Halo 2 doesn't support cross-platform multiplayer). Now that said, there are going to be some very tempting reasons for you to upgrade to a full paid Live Gold membership. We're sure you want to know more, but you'll just have to wait until Microsoft is ready to spill the beans.

wohoa! wow, I can talk to my Xbox 360 buddies!!! Wohoa! Must throw water on my face to rid me of the shock of disbelief!

Halo 2 on Vista and requiring Vista is a total ton of BS as everyone full knows by now. As I figured exactly. although Halo 2 doesn't support cross-platform multiplayer So what's the point? Oh yeah, to FORCE you to use Vista Live..

F U MS. I'm not upgrading to Vista because it's a waste of an OS and NOT REQUIRED for ANYTHING. Thank you for allowing me to be a beta tester so I could know for sure Vista is just a load of crap, hype and marketing.
