Major Nelson drops huge Halo 2 Anniversary hint...

Can't even take this guy seriously anymore. Lied so many damn times.
PC gamers have been wondering what will happen to games like Halo 2, Gears of War, etc that are inundated with the ailing GFWL DRM. Microsoft continues to tell us that they have news coming down the line.
Either way, I find it quite a stretch that this is a PC-related blog post, running a copy of Halo 2 PC, then making the leap to HALO 2 ANNIVERSARY CONFIRMED.

Wait, is there some way to legally obtain a digital version of Halo 2 on PC then? How did Nelson get it on his Surface?

He is working for MS, so I'm pretty sure they gave him an image of the game.
either that or he pirated it.

Please let this be a tease for a Steam re-release of 2 (and a release of 3 while they're at it!)
Don't care too much for an anniversary remake but yeah, I don't think this picture is hinting at that anyway.

Pretty sure the Vista and OG Halo 2 didn't have Guide in the main menu. Could be wrong.

Just denying a PC version, yeah? How about that X1 version?

So if this is accurate, is the Halo collection not going to include Halo 2? I thought it was Halo 1-4 in one package.
Halo 2 is the remake, the rest are ports.

Thanks, I thought all were being remade.

And in this thread we see a ton of people in denial.

Everyone assumes this has to lead to H2A for PC, but what if it's just simply hinting at the removal of GFWL? H2A can be used to push console sales, fans that don't care about updated graphics can enjoy Halo 2 Vista.
I find it odd they chose that game of all possible games. Either Microsoft just wants to crush dreams or it's hinting at something. They've been slowly getting a better rep among the PC crowd, this would only help.

It probably is, but him posting this picture right before E3 indicates that there's something Halo 2 related news coming our way.

1- I dont know if thats a hint, but by the look of it, it IS the Halo 2 for Vista (so it doesnt matter how its there, it doesnt seem a different version).
2- He doesnt need to have it pirated. It could be only a screenshot to illustrate it.
3- He said it has nothing to do with Halo 2 Anniversary.
4- Halo is probably the biggest system seller franchise for Xbox. That said, I dont think would be smart to make it a multiplatform with PC if they intend to make Xbox One more successful.
Im not saying it will certainly not happen, but I have some reasons to believe its indeed not happening.

Right but hasn't that been assumed for ages now? I think people are inferring far too much about one picture and I say that as someone that sees Halo 2 Anniversary and/or a Halo HD Collection being announced as a foregone conclusion.

Even though that's Halo 2 PC and that post is about the controller PC drivers, he clearly chose Halo 2 for a reason.

LOL. Take it easy man.
He's just implying that Halo 2 is already out on PC, it isn't going to come back in a new form. Reeeelaaax.

There are just too many rumors regarding Halo 2 so it's almost inevitable that people come to the Halo 2 anniversary conclusion.
Wow.
that's really epic
I hope they really do.
Man, Listen to the music.
