The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Halo: PC forum.

But yes, it does work for LIVE, you don't have to have Gold to play most servers, but some you do.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

There is online multiplayer. But, it's on Xbox Live, it's Windows Live.

Unless you are inferring that people on PCs can play with people on Xbox...Technically, it's not the same. It's separate. I play Halo CE on the PC, I'm not on Xbox Live as I do it.

You infer, and I imply. I was not, however, implying that cross -platform play was default on GFWL as it is not. There are a few (maybe just Shadowrun), but it definitely isn't a standard. What I meant was that you shouldn't have gone and tried to point out the flaws in the OP that were merely semantics, it was unnecessary and rude. I was trying to clarify what I believed the OP meant to say.

Naturally, because of the apparent lack of time and effort invested in your first reply, I thought I could take the same leisure and make mine as simple as yours.

It's part of "Games for Windows Live" and uses the PC version of LIVE. It functions, sure, but there are maybe a handful of people playing the game.

Looking for clan that isn't too serious? Then join the ODST 501st Airborne Battalion. Go to http://www.501st.forumclan.com for more info.

It should work for Windows Live. But be sure to check the requirements of the game before buying it.
