Subject: Halo 2 PC, on the 360?

I have a stupid question, but, I saw my friend playing Halo 2 PC, but it was on the 360, so how does that work?

Please explain :)

Thanks

I cannot comprehend your question.

Let's get a couple things straight. Kaykay? =]

Halo 2 for the Xbox is playable for the Xbox, and 360.
Halo 2 PC is only playable on Windows Vista.

Halo 2 Xbox and Halo 2 Vista aren't multi-platform, so two people cannot play H2X and H2V online on different platforms.

Edit: Oh, and also; Halo 2 Vista uses GFWL (Games For Windows Live) - which is an online service, much like Xbox Live. It's really the same thing as Xbox Live, just for a different platform. So for example, you can share your friends list, messages, and achievements on both Xbox Live and GFWL.

Jah. I've gotten H2V to run on XP (as well as got GFWL working), but it was really buggy. Multiplayer didn't work (when I tried to create/join a game, nothing would happen), and the NPCs' mouths' wouldn't animate when they talked. So bleh =\

But yes, it's possible to get it to run on XP, but it's hardly playable. If anyone knows a consistent way to play H2V on XP, just let me know - then I can finally throw away Vista, and use XP until Win7 is released.

I played through h2v on xp with a 6600gt and it ran pretty smooth throughout the campaign. Consistent 30 fps i think.
