Another massive hint at HALO2 Anniversary.
It's from Larry's official blog.
Guaranteed as coming at this point. Really, really hope the multiplayer is 1:1 with OG Halo 2. #

Why wouldn't that just be Halo 2 running on a Surface Pro or some other tablet with a full version of Windows 8.1? The picture is from his announcement of the One controller's PC drivers being released.

Pretty much confirms it
Or maybe he's just showing off the X1 controller drivers.

It's pretty much a given at this point. Just waiting a few more days to drop the bomb at their conference I guess

What makes you think that it's not just the Windows version of Halo 2?
That's the PC version menu screen, that's what it looked like.

They are out. I don't doubt Halo 2 Anniversary is coming but that just looks like the PC version of Halo 2.
Maybe, but I doubt Larry would be showing off an illegally downloaded or nocd cracked version of the game.

Oh no doubt that's a hint. Not that we needed anymore. I mean out of any game you could show you pick Halo 2 Vista. The game that is pretty much dead now thanks to the GFWL shutdown. Yea the odds of that seem slim unless you picked it for a reason. What I hope is that it is a hint that the Master Chief Collection or whatever they end up calling it is also coming to PC. Course I doubt that it will.

He probably posted it with the focus being on the PC driver but probably threw in the Halo 2 as a tease.

But it also says quit, which makes me think it could be the PC version?
Unless quit is the button that brings you back to the "Game select menu", but you'd figure that would be phrased differently right?

He posted it because PC drivers but that is also clearly a hint.

It's probably a hint that it's also coming to PCs. Halo 2 MP only runs on Windows Vista, and the Surface tablets run Windows 8...
Wait why would it need to have been illegally downloaded or cracked?
You really think Halo 2 anniversary on their flagship console would use the old janky PC menu?

Isn't Halo 2 disc only? He's running it on a Surface 3.

This is what I thought, its to show the controller working with PC.

Preeeeetty sure he's just showing off the PC drivers on a Surface.
It's running on Surface Pro 3 which has the uncommon aspect ratio of 3:2 at 1440p, dunno if Halo 2V would run full screen at that or not...
iirc the game didn't go above 1080p or something like that. it didn't support all aspect ratios either, maybe he's playing with screen stretched over there...

Yes
Umm...there are these things called external dvd drives
and halo 2 vista doesn't need the disk to play http://forums.penny-arcade.com/disc...2-vista-does-not-require-disc-install-to-play
There's a bunch of ways to get disc content onto a surface, more than usual since he works for Microsoft.

You don't get it do you? Sure it's the old PC version of Halo 2 but there is no doubt they picked that game for a reason. Now what it could be hinting at is up for interpretation. It could be hinting to a steam release for the franchise. It could be a subtle hint that they haven't forgotten Halo 2 hence Halo 2 anniversary. It could mean a lot of things. But they did choose that game for a reason instead of choosing a newer game.
