Just a quick update that I did end up purchasing Halo 2 for Windows Vista the other day. I installed it on my new laptop and it's such a hefty program that my laptop can barely run it. This is another reason why I don't do much PC Gaming, the sheer cost of keeping your computer up to snuff to run the latest games is just way to prohibitive. Anyway, I am able run it so I'm going to make my way through the storyline, although I probably won't do much with the online stuff.
One really cool thing about Games for Windows is that you log in with your live account and you have all of the regular features of Xbox Live. I was even able to bring up the guide and use it to listen to a voice message on my computer!!! Another really cool feature allowed me to plug in a 360 controller and use it on my computer in the exact same way that I'd use it on the Xbox. This worked even to the point of giving me the face button prompts (A, B, X, Y) for all of the various aspects of the game. How cool is that!!!
Anyway, I'll be working my way through Halo 2 for a bit as I chase down some more achievement points. I'm especially looking forward to the achievement for getting the Scarab gun (awesome!!!).
