This is more addressed to the developers of Halo2, but any and all are welcome to voice their support for, or denounce, this idea.
I realize that no PC version of Halo2 has officially been announced yet, but I would really like to see the ability of Xbox and PC users to participate in the SAME multiplayer games together. I think this would be a huge jump over the competition and spawn even more interest in Halo2. Since the PC version ends up being a port of the Xbox version, and since the Xbox is practically a PC anyways, I see no reason for this not to be feasible.
Personally, I am a computer user who has no intent to buy an Xbox or Halo/Halo2. However, I would certainly buy a copy of Halo 2 if it incorporated this new multiplayer ability, just to be able to play it with my XBox-owning friends.
I don't see this idea hurting sales of the Xbox or Halo 2 at all, only helping. If necessary, delay the PC version release date, require that games can only be hosted on Xbox hardware, etc... Whatever it takes to make this idea work should be considered.
Merging the world of XBox and PC would be a phenomenal leap. I would love to see a Halo Party combine with a Lan Party.
