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.
