Hey frankie what if you guys had hired say a guy that seemed to know his -blam!-, and then you found out he was leaking info on the ONP to the press would he be goin to court or do you guys have to sign secrecy papers before you are hired. OR would he just be exiled to the Mashall Islands?!? lol

oh and bungie i think it was amazon.com or gamestop.com, (some widespread delivery website) but i was searching for halo 3 for giggles and it actually came up with a release date and description and everything. Said the game was going to continue the amazing story that halo 2 left off with. The release date was 10/6/06. I know this isn't true cuz you guys would have announced it RIGHT.

Halo 2 with no autoaim+no matchmaking+ a map editor= the game I wanted Halo 2 to be in the first place....now only if they can improve the vehicle physices, eliminate the sword and noob combo, strengthen the battlerifle, and put less of an emphasis on Spray n pray gunfights and lucky spawns.

Bungie, I hope you have a good explanation for this in the future. First of all, looking on my Halo PC box, under minimum system requirements, you added support all the way back to Windows 98SE! Now, why on earth, are you playing this marketing game and trying to promote Vista? Please release an XP/2000 version. You have no idea how many people will be greatful! Unless, in the future when you are ready, you give us a good reason. Your brief Q&A sparked some curiousity in me about what you are planning.

Why would bungie wait so long to start working on h2 PC? Most people are already (more or less) bored with Halo 2. The only reason I would ever buy the PC version is because the map customization sounds cool.

How is this a huge announcement? The only thing I didn't guess was comeing was the "Vista" thing... most people I know (me included) have never even heard of a Windows Vista!

If Bungie announced what it's real next project was, then it would be news. Not a late-comeing port.

There is no way I would buy Vista to play Halo 2. Everything I've read in reviews of vista and what will be included( Digital Rights Management) will be nothing anyone with a clue will want.

hey i think this is a great idea. at first i was like this is the next projct?!?!!? *insert explitives here* but now that i read the article this seems like an awesome way to get halo 2 even more popular , if thats possible. it is kinda poopy that im gonna have to upgrade my media center PC but itll be worth it. i hope itll be able to use the 360 controller... cuz i cant do WASD controls. my hand gets all cramped up and things of that nature. thats why it took me months to beat half life 2. as a suggestion (even thogh you dont give a flyin -blam-) make the map editor really easy for us people whos computer IQ is equal to that of a pineapple.

didn't the end credits of halo 2 say "coming feburay 9th" or something when you beat the game on ledandary? could it be a coquinsidence that halo 2 pc's confirmation came out on that very day?

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

Do people even read the whole Q and A? I have seen many people posting wondering whether Halo 2 for the PC is their next project. NO! He said it wasn't!
I am going to take the time to answer some frequently asked questions at this time:

No, Halo 2 for the PC is not Bungie's next project.
Halo 3 is Bungie's next project.
Halo 2 on the PC is not a bad idea.
The Xbox 360 is awesome.
Halo 2 for the PC is not a marketing ploy. It is actually a well thought out and cool thing.
I hope that answers some questions.

And to address those that are yelling at Bungie. Stop being angry at Bungie all the time. Bungie is doing a great job and continue to produce cool products as quickly as possible for their fans. You have the right to play other games and stay off this website if you hate Bungie so much.

You know what though, Im glad Bungie is working with a very popular wealthy corporation in which provided us all with new advances in technology and such, but one thing im just a lil disagreeable on is the fact that its only for vista, because I heard somewhere that a new service pack is on its way next year for XP. And also we have to spend $$ on a new OS just for a PC game...but yuh know what, I REALLY APPRECIATE!!!! Bungie and M$ to bring Halo 2 to the PC and i look forward to buying vista and gettin Halo 2 pc!!....thats just my opinion on everything and I hope someone out there feels the same way.

WOW . . .

They sure didn't release many details now did they? I swear, more than half of the questions were answered by "We have not released 'place question topic here' information at this time"

It was drivin' me NUTS!!!

On a second note: You mean the plug at the end of the 360 controllers plug is actually a USB plug?

WOW!!

Who knew!?

Ok vista is going to be the new xp. So in about august they will release vista and in november xp will be gone from the shelves. This is actually kinda of a way to get people who have the right specs to play the games. Newer computers are going to be better than the ones that just came out 2 years ago. So i think this is a great i dea. I was going to get vista anyways but this is the biggest plus. I mean come on Halo2 for Pc. Um for the people who dont want to use the mouse. just make a usb thing for an xbox controller. Its easy.

Hey, Thank-you Bungie, I look forward to playing your game. Oh say sometime in the area of, " Year 2009 " when I can actually afford Microsofts " Vista Junk " and a new computer. Oh and the 50 dollar game it'self.
