Halo 2 from Bungie and Microsoft Game Studios will be released on 08/05/2007 exclusively on Windows Vista - over a year after it was announced for PC, and two and a half years after it was released on XBOX. UK Gamers: Amazon UK has a pre-order date of 30/05/2007.

Go f--k yourself.
I'm utterly sick of these degrading comments. Take your pointless judgmental trolling elsewhere.
I will be posting a story on Windows Live! launching in a few minutes that will explain things in greater details - now that I can post some news again.

Well, if I ever get a good enough PC to run it, I'll be sorted. I've already got a gold account, and I can't wait to see what the achievements will be.
I'm American and I understood the date just fine. The rest of the world uses that as well, so why change it?

Because the game and Microsoft is a american company.
As a side note though, it's us Brits to blame for this. When some of us set sail for the new land, Britain was actually using the now American date style. We changed back when we realised that was stupid.
No I am just agreeing with the original comment. Doesnt really affect my life if it is changed or not.
Have an issue? Here's a huge box of snot wipin' tissues!
With the current state of Vista, drivers and being the first DX 10 game, this can be be one of the games that you pick up cheap 6-12 months latter after your on your 2nd Vista pc (the one built for vista & future gaming) than can run it correctly.
Also not sure that people will want to pay for Xbox Gold subscription on the pc (Silver will still be free).
