HALO 2, the immensely popular sequal to Halo is now being ported to Windows Vista with integrated Windows Live support. HALO 2 surpasses its predecessor both in graphical beauty and combat intensity. The Master Chief and his marine allies return to battle the full complement of Covenant forces, as well as new enemies who have not yet revealed themselves. HALO 2 also expands the Master Chief's already substantial arsenal with powerful new weapons, as well as more than twice as many drivable vehicles for exploring vast landscapes or speeding into battle. In addition to its epic single-player campaign, HALO 2 Vista will be playable online through Windows Live. The launch of Games for Windows – LIVE marks a major expansion of the Xbox LIVE service across multiple platforms, uniting gamers with a single identity, a single gamertag, a single friends list and a single list of achievements attainable on the Xbox 360 and a Windows-based PC.
