Bungie isn’t famous for the speed of porting games from Xbox to PC and Halo 2 makes no exception. It was originally launched in November 2004 for the Xbox console and Microsoft announced it as a launch title for Windows Vista in the second quarter of 2007. Either they are really slow or they have modified the game beyond any resemblance with its counterpart. We present here a small collection of information under the clever disguise of a FAQ. Q: What systems is Halo 2 for Windows Vista available for? A: As the name suggests, Halo 2 Vista will be brought to PCs with Windows Vista only.

Of course you can always purchase Halo 2 for your Xbox or Xbox 360. There are currently no plans to bring Halo 2 to Mac, Playstation 9, or the Commodore 64. Q: Will Halo 2 Vista players be able to play against Halo 2 Xbox players? A: No, Halo 2 Vista players will only be able to [play] against Vista owners. Q: Does Halo 2 Vista support the Xbox 360 Controller? A: Yes, the Xbox 360 controller will be fully supported by Halo 2 Vista. Q: What are the minimum system requirements for Halo 2 Vista? A: The Halo 2 Vista team is still hard at work fine-tuning the game so at this time, we cannot give details on the minimum system requirements, but we’ll let you know as soon as the picture becomes clearer.
