GamePro has some new details on the PC release of Halo 2. Two Microsoft directors in the Games for Windows division confirmed that Bungie's popular shooter will arrive "just after" the launch of Windows Vista ealy next year. They also suggested that the PC version will not be cross-platform compatible using the Live Anywhere Service, which we mentioned here (http://www.sengo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10662). Microsoft said it wont be compatible until they find somebody to "re-code the Xbox version" of Halo 2 so it can interface with the Xbox 360. I hear there are a lot of programmers up in Redmond, so hopefully this will be resolved. It would be more than fun to play with your friends who only play PC, and completely "own" them at a game you've been playing for more than 2 years, at that point.
