I aggre with you on some points.

It just won't be. I mean with the way things are looking for Halo 2 Vista, I doubt that it'll have anything on Halo PC. Here are the advantages of owning Halo 2 Vista:
* A couple new weapons available in multiplayer
* It's got a custom edition
* Possibly lower auto-aim (because of using the mouse) than in the Xbox version
And that's it. Yet this is what Halo PC had:
* More multiplayer options than in Halo 1 Xbox
* Fuel Rod Gun and Flamethrower, making way for the new "heavy weapons" option
* 6 new maps--Danger Canyon, Timberland, Ice Fields, Infinity, Death Island, and Gephyrophobia
* Free downloadable custom edition
* Unlimited free custom maps for the custom edition
* Absolutely no cheating online (there are no ranks, there are dedicated servers, and modders cannot mod in a server besides their own)
Also, if you have custom edition, you'd notice the Halo 2 map trend going on. Lately, people have been remaking Halo 2 maps for Halo 1 custom edition for free download. If you can just play those h2 maps on an h1 disc, then what the hell is the point of buying a Halo 2 Vista? Not only do people remake those maps, they even remake h2 CAMPAIGN maps for multiplayer variants! Seriously, you can download a multiplayer version of the Halo 2 E3 demo (actually, there are TWO versions of this map)...you can also download Metropolis.
As for the H2 multiplayer maps available for download, you can pretty much get all of them. Lockout, Coagulation, Zanzibar, etc. And not only do they have Turf, but they also have a map called Turf_Revamped which is TEN TIMES BIGGER than the original Turf.
Not to mention, Halo PC is a lot cheaper than Halo 2 Vista.
But
1. does it have a custom edition or is the game it self able to play both custom and normal maps.
If so this has bridged the everlasting "gap" between the pc and ce halo players.
2. It possibly has 2 new maps, and it will be easyer to have better graphics when making maps and players will be able to play halo 2.
3. You claim of this "free great maps" but have we all not seen some lousy crapy map which no one should ever play and i tryed the turf revamped level you spoke of...its not that great...ya 10 times bigger yet nothing in that 9 times of space except some dirt, bulidings, and trees....
4. Plus you can now play the OFFICIAL halo 2 maps on the pc which will be perfect and wont have the normal flaws we always see.
5. I too miss the flamethrower and the FRG...well not the FRG... BUT STILL. Think of the possiblity of having custom ensignias on your MLJNOR V armor...Ah that new armor smell.
6. I GET TO KILL HALO 2 THINGS...i dont have a xbox...*GASP* oh no i will get beaten up by Bill Gates and Chuck Norris now.
7. Plus the screen...anyone who has played halo 2 will know how they cant see a single thing. Well you can now turn up the screen brightness...easily.
8. The sword will now work...ITS THE FRICKIN HOLY GRAIL. And the targeting system on the RL.
9. and lastly (thank god and all the penquins) there will be a ranking system and other such things....for a price.
