Halo 2 Vista, what happened?

MNC said:
Halo: Legendary Pack
Contains:
- Singleplayer of Halo 1
- Singleplayer of Halo 2
- Singleplayer of Halo 3
- Singleplayer of Halo: Reach
- Latest multiplayer mode (which is Halo Reach probably)

Steamworks for multiplayer and Achievements (50, singleplayer achievements)
Retails for 70$/60€.


I would so buy it.

Realistically if they wanted to do Halo for PC now... they should probably do it like this..

- release Halo 2 digitally for $15
- release Halo 3/ODST pack digitally for $25
- release Halo Reach/Halo CE pack for $50
 
i would buy all the Halo games on pc if they went digital and were good ports ...but i guess microsoft need a reason to try and lure people over to xbox and their pay to play online crap.
 
Note that Halo 2 doesn't officially support Windows 7 and requires third party utilities or system folder tweaking in order to make it run.

I think that's an old issue that's been resolved. As I said above I just bought this game less than a week ago. Since I've read about compatibility issues I wanted to test it, so I installed the game and played it for 15 minutes with no issues on Windows 7. I'm on the last level of Halo CE and want't to finish that first.

Maybe it has. Last I tried was some point in the last 12 month. It's still a port I wouldn't play though.
 
If MS would release this on GFWL, I'd buy it with a quickness. Halo 2 campaign with achievements? Yes please!

I know the physical version is still available, but my M11x doesn't have a media drive. So it's download only for me when it comes to PC gaming.

You could buy the game and rip it as an image file from another pc.
 
As a former regular on Halo: Combat Evolved PC, I can tell you that I was looking forward to Halo 2 but when it became Vista only, it completely fell off my radar. It killed it for me. Idiotic decision.
