I was astounded when I heard that Halo 2 for PC had gotten trashed. I had to try it out myself. The price tag was healthy, and sure, I will admit; I am not a graphics gamer.

The game first of all, should be for XP also, big mistake by Microsoft there. Second of all, you should be able to play with xbox liveg gamers throught Halo 2's games for windows live, but you cannot.

The game was very underrated, and it has excellent gameplay. The battle rifle is the coolest weapon, and I love dual needlers + dual SMGs. Sure the magnum stinks, but the battle rifle makes up for the old pistol. I personally liked the story line, (not the cliff hanger) and was very impressed with the new experience on Vista.
