Maybe now Halo 4 will be made for the PC and then ported to the consoles, as god intended.

For those of you who don't know, this was the original plan with Halo.  Then Microsoft bought them because they needed some good games for their fledgling console, the XBox.

And it's still a slap in the face to require Vista to run an old port of Halo 2.  There's not a technical reason in the world for that.

I doubt it. Microsoft still owns the Halo IP. I mean, there is an outside shot I suppose. Especially if the new Halo is ready in time for Venice (or whatever the code name is for the new Microsoft OS).

FYI: He's not just whistling dixie. This FACT has been proven by multiple sources. Halo 2 runs just fine on XP despite what Microsoft claims.

Bungie is still going to be making halo games though just as 3rd or semi 2nd party.

Not as much of a hit as I first thought for MS now. There is already 3 years between each game and with the spin offs Bungie can go make something else and then go back to Halo without the game falling off the map.
