Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Halo 2 for Windows Vista
For the first time, you’ll be able to earn LIVE achievements in Halo 2 for Windows Vista. And finding other friends who also have Halo 2 for Windows Vista will be easier than ever with the in-game Friends List. Use a common gamertag and even send messages or invitations to your friends playing on XBOX Live. (note: because Halo 2 for the original XBOX was developed long ago, Halo 2 for Windows Vista doesn’t support cross-platform play.) Enjoy Halo 2 for Windows Vista’s party system where LIVE Gold members can stay and play with their friends from one game to the next.

We pretty much knew this, but I think this'll help clear some things up.

I never saw the thing before about the party system being exclusive to Gold members.

Well, all I can say is if you are a little shaky on whether or not to get a Gold Live membership or not...you should consider getting it....its WELL worth it!!

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

PARTY SYSTEM LIMITED TO GOLD MEMBERS?!

WTF is the point? I'll just use XFire.

We have to pay to upgrade to Vista, which we will do anyway but is still a pain in the ass because we can't play Halo 2 until we do, and then we have to pay to use the very features that were used as the reason for making Halo 2 for Vista.

And this had better not be hinting at an XBox style matchmaking system.

If they do that it will lose them several thousand customers. I am going to love Xfire even more when H2V comes out.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Binary code FTW

I am glad we wont be able to play against xbox noobs though :)
And most people will probably still use xfire anyway.

No wonder Bungie isn't updating. They have nothing good to report on the game any more; just more dissapointments.

Next thing you know they'll be charging us a few cents every minute to use voice chat.
But I thought "text chat sucks ass-hairs!"

If Microsoft extends its policy of no third party systems (e.g Xfire) to Vista then you may be stuck without a party system

"LIVE Gold members can stay and play with their friends from one game to the next"

Am i reading that correctly as if you don't have a live gold account - you can never play one complete round and get kicked out of a game at the end of the map?

From what I understand of this is there will be two ways of joining games. One where only Gold members get matched up the same way as you did on the Xbox. The other way being that you have a great long list of servers to pick from and join, much the same as you would with counter strike etc.

O.O can someone plz translate this? Im thinking of a totally different thing now... i can't belive this!! We can't host servers?! We cant stay in a server?! WTF! :| man ... after paying for a new customized computer and then H2V and now we gotta buy Gold if we have to do stay in servers and go to next?! Someone plz clarify! :'(

What it is.

i think what they mean by party-system is where you can have a party of people and join a different party and bring your friends in your party to that party, whereas there will still be servers that are set to a maplist. Also, i think the party system is mainly for what i said up above, so that way you don't have to remake a room every time you want to play...at least that's how it works on Halo 2 on the xbox. That's my take on it, aside from that, i really think they need to hint at us something more than Soon.™ I mean, it's already been a week after Vista's release, the freakin' OS for the game, and they still haven't given us any clue of what to expect and when.
