Look guys its really obvious why they wont brign out halo 2 for pc. They did for halo 1 because halo 1 ddint have an xbox live connection. If they made a pc version with gamespy multiplayer the multiplayer would be free and it would draw gamers away from xbox live. This way they would probably lose more then they would gain.
NO THEY ARNT MAKIGN HALO 2 FOR PC
Um, no. See, not everyone who has Halo 2 has Xbox Live. Also, had they even launched Xbox Live when Halo came out for the Xbox launch? As well, Halo PC is still one of the top selling PC games around, coupled with the hype generated by Halo 2's release, plus the fact that it's easier to port an Xbox game to the PC than it is to port, say, a PS2 game to the Xbox, so as I have already said, most of the work is already done. It boils down to minimal investment to produce an already established product in a market place- video game players, who are keenly aware of the products existence and mythology.
Plus, Microsoft is heavily invested in PC gaming, since they kinda invented DirextX, probably are not willing to throw all that investment away and alienate about 100 million PC gamers globally, and their new scripting and graphics languages, XMI, or whatever it's called is being developed cross platform, for the Xbox and PC.
Games like Mech Assault 2 are the titles that don't get ported to the PC, because PC gamers remember how great MW2 and 4 were, and probably aren't willing to accept Mechwarrior: The Dumbening.
No one can prove that Halo 2 will see the light of day on the PC, just as you can't prove that it won't.
My gut says yes, and I trust my gut.
