What's so great about Halo2 Vista?

Are there (some) new weapons?
New GFX?
Balanced Weapons (for once, like take Halo and Halo3 for example...)

What makes it so special to get Vista, and to buy the game itself, JUST to play Halo2? When I can already play it on my XBOX360?

EDIT: Also, are their customizable options for Campaign/Multiplayer like Halo:CE has?

h2v is awsome because of the following: map editor, if you have a more powerful graphics card it will run better, Xbox Live achievements.

XBLive achievements? Like, are they linked to your Live GT or something, or just for show on the PC?

Yeah Its just a quick way for M$ to get a quick buck on the PC gamers by forcing them to get Vista and Live to play Halo 2. However, I dont mind too much since I had Vista Anyway and I'm going to get Live as soon as I get a decent net connection. I've been looking forward to H2V because there will hopefully be less noobs online.
Also, from what I've heard the AI has been vastly improved. Heres hoping.

Yep. Here's my profile on xbox.com (you may have to login to see it). Just check the achievements. (Grumble, still no King of the Scarab... yet.)

If you have an XBL Gold account, when you sign up for Games for Windows - Live, if you use the same information you use for your xbox live account, you'll automatically become Games for Windows - Live Gold - which shares achievements between the systems.

My opinion is that I like H2V because I find the multiplayer faster and superior (not everyone wants to go through a half-ass "ranking" scheme, and games which are available are easier to find), plus being able to multiplayer with KB/M is just.. awesome (even though mouse responsiveness in vehicles really, really stinks).

I was sure that they were calling their system LIVE Anywhere..........
