I have never played halo 2 or halo (im still wanting the old HALO RTS i guess at AOE like Halo RTS will have do) , I totally refuse to use a gamepad for FPS. Now after 3 years since the game came out on the xbox (i never played halo 2 till now on the PC), First off the game won't install (secondary login service issue), then trying the "Tray and Play" i get a BSOD, Try installing the game before playing it, It 3 BSOD before the game will plays and now I got to pay for gold friend invites!(doesn't effect since i got XBL GOLD what a rip off for a peer to peer network for online gaming on the xbox), We got little nice AIM progam that let use do that for free MS its called xfire. I can't configure the voice over IP function to pick up my pic (xifi cards a bunch of inputs) and theres no push to talk button either, I'll stick to vent and TS thank you very much. WHY can't I crouch while moving is this a FPS from pre-1995?. AUTO AIM on a gamepad thats fine on a console but on a PC where you got mouse and keyboard, take it out. If microsoft game for windows This is almost as bad as EA game on the PC. IF Microsoft want Games for Windows for the PC and bring back PC gaming to store shelfs ( i see a very small selection of games for the pc in gamestop, bestbuy, etc compare to the PS2 or xbox 360, etc), its too little to late Mircosoft, i find my self buying the digital download version of games off steam and direct to drive, since i find my self have to search many stores if its not a major IP. Games for windows LIVE is going to fail cause everything you are trying to charge for on the GOLD level is already free right now expect for Achievement points ( cross platfrom gaming has been done a long time ago back on the Dreamcast with Quake 3)
Note that my son plays halo 2 on live (16 year old)
