The title pretty much explain my question.

Is it normal that Halo 2 on PC got no Desktop icon?

I've never seen a game without, and it works fine when I put the disc in... It just feels... Strange O_o

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Well...did you...ummm...install it? Lol. When I installed Halo 2 Vista the desktop icon popped right up. If you did install it, just find the Halo 2 folder (usually in Program Files) and drag the file from the folder onto the desktop (a shortcut). I am assuming your just playing off of the disk itself without the install?

Yes I installed it. It's working just fine.

There just isn't any Desktop icon, and neither is there on in the Program files :s

It must have been installed in another folder. Do a search and then drag & drop.

Browse to Halo 2's root directory. It should be in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2". Look for the file "halo2.exe" (you may have extensions disabled, so it may only be called "halo2"), right-click > copy. Then go to your desktop, right-click, and hit "Paste Shortcut".
