We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

How does the most successful original Xbox game turn into a complete disaster while being ported to the PC? Is it Hired Gun's fault? Or is it Microsoft's fault for hiring Hired Gun?
I mean holy hell, support for the game was cut before its 1-year anniversary!? Even with the patches that were released, it barely improved anything...the patches actually gave birth to new problems.
2007-2008 was Halo 2 Vista's golden years and that is sad if you think about it. Every now and then I still want to get my Halo 2 fix but I can't even seem to stay on the Server List for 20 minutes before logging off. I have played this game since release and I will still check it out every now and then.
A PC port that had HUGE potential fell flat on its face and it is just dissapointing. With a proper port, this game would still be going strong...but with the rediculous requirements and no support this game was bound for failure.
Just makes me sad =(
Unfortunately, the PC versions of Halo have not been as moderated as they could have been, or as maintained, either. The golden years were indeed golden, though, almost platinum, and they'll forever hold a place in my memory. Right next to the lovely first image of the Gravemind.
