No problem. Like everyone here, I too am just waiting for it. I know I can't wait for it for achievements and for the ability to play on a random server.

My big complaint with the Xbox version is that I can only play custom games with friends. Most of my friends moved on so I am stuck with match making. That will change with the Vista version though.

Whaddya wanna bet that Bungie will put some tiny linky at the bottom of a huge H3 update that links to this story, call it a H2V update, and ban us when we raid? Grrrr, I'm getting really bloodthirsty for some gramattically-challenged fanboy backside now.

Don't follow in my footsteps; I walk into walls
my 360s blog

Remember the first time you applied sticky grenade to Elite ass, and the ensuing cries of doomed anguish? Yeah, that’s a moment to cherish, and it’s not bad being able to point to a specific record of it. Or how about the first time you finally wielded the sword and started dominating for like 10 seconds? We want to encourage our expanded audience of PC players to enjoy these first moments in “Halo 2” for Windows Vista with a few easy achievements in the game. For pro-style Halo enthusiasts, you’ll see the familiar achievement indicator going off like you won a prize or something. Fear not, though: perfection will be a tall order.
5gp defo
For the more committed “Halo 2” warrior, try and imagine what it might mean to become a Violent Cartographer. *Pssst*! It involves maps and bloodletting.
40gp?
Campaigning with Achievements
“Halo 2” for Windows Vista offers achievements for all aspects of the game. For campaigners, we have an achievement for finishing each playable level of the campaign, at Normal, Heroic, or Legendary, while you are on Games for Windows – LIVE. It’s like the Achievement system was designed for the very purpose of being able to demonstrate to the world your mettle and grit against Bungie’s awesome A.I. on Legendary. Prepare to throw down.
10,15,20 gp each is my guess
In fact, turning out all the lights on all the levels in Legendary will give you the title of “Legend.” You may have thought, “Killing a Legend in head-to-head LIVE combat is, therefore, an action worthy of an achievement.” We thought so too, so be on the lookout.
It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t create a single-player achievement for insane people. If you think you can complete an entire campaign level without dying, or know somebody with that much moxie and twitch (and a heap of time on their hands), you’ll be testing yourself to gain the Demon achievement. Sounds cool, and it’s oh-so-apropos.
10 gp

I never really understood achievments. What exactly do you get for them and how do you earn them? They seem a little childish to me.

Anyway as it is this does not count as info about H2V from Bungie. It was a little known blog by the developers. However, if they do include this info in the weekly update or on the front page that will satisfy the fact that they have posted info about Halo2Vista on this site and the raid will be held off.

You say that now but soon you'll be devouring entire games just trying to get the achievement points for bragging rights.

if u have a xbox or xbox360 u should have a gold account but i think u will be able to make one when live anywhere lunches they should give u the payment options so i think ur safe.

I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

Blaspheme! there will be a raid unless Bungie does what they should've done a long time ago... To call it off because of a un-known of blog will be like calling back the Mongol horde!
besides that, I think that the mods must be on vacation or something....

yup yup u will become a gamerscroe whore like me and kim from what he said lol.but soon u will see what achievments is all about hahahahaha

What it is.

achievements are more like goals. I basically see them as something to strive for to do, basically a motivation to play the game. But see if Dev's put in easy achievements then if the game doesn't have a high replay value then once you've got all of the achievements it's pointless to play. But since Halo 2 Vista is gonna be more multiplayer friendly the game itself has a high replay value, as most MP games do.

It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

Honestly Achievements when done right are like the high score in a game. With certain games they remind me of the days spent in the arcade trying to get the high score. You just have to get them all.

The problem is that most games get that wrong. Some just hand them out for completing the game or put too much focus on the Multiplayer. To me the good ones make them challanging and fair.

With Halo 2 Vista it is looking like they are. The points are being combined between Single Player and Multiplayer. To me that is nice.

So yea achievements can be a lot of fun. They can be kinda like bragging rights.

Replay value only applies to good games, which I doubt this will be, and no quantity of achievements can change that for me.

You fail to realize that you have a kickass PC, and thus, wouldn't really give a damn about your Xbox 360 if your power-tower didn't own so much noobs. :)

PCs > consoles, as your motto says.

Yes your Xbox Live Gold account carries over to the PC. Any Achievements you get on Halo 2 Vista will show up on your gamercard be it on Xbox 360 or PC.
