Which yes, is entirely ridiculous. A Two/Three year old game designed for a console that is four or so years behind the best PCs. They better do something special with it. Like I don't know... giving it an ending?

It's all something to do with how the next version of DirectX won't be backwards compatibile or some other money-spinning idea. Microsoft claim there is some kind of justifiable reason behind it, but predictably, not too many believe it. Apparently it'll make it easier to develop for the PC etc. The fact of the matter is that I will have to get Vista to play any worthwhile PC games after a point, so I may as well get Halo 2 while i'm at it I kind of enjoyed the first one to the point where I want to know what happens next, and if whatever happens next isn't copied and pasted 14 times per level.
