So does anyone know about the Halo coming out for the PC?
I know it's Vista only, but my concern is whether it'll be on the same server as Xbox players of Halo Two?
And...is anyone else getting it? XD

It's not on the same servers as the Xbox players, but it does allow you to use either the same Matchmaking system as the Xbox users, or join Dedicated servers like Halo:CE for the PC (among other games of course).
It does however, use the same "LIVE" service as Xbox 360 users, so you can create a gamertag and add people who are Xbox 360 gamers and chat to them via voice, messages and video chat.
Hope that helps.

So, there would be many, many complaints if you can play on the same server and Xbox people, they would have a fit, but it would be interesting.

I seriously hope the servers are seperate. It's a lot easier and faster to aim with a mouse than it is with a joystick. PC players would have an unfair advantage.
[SIZE="2"][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]I agree, you just summarized my whole two paragraphs.. haha
They will be, I am sure of it[/COLOR][/SIZE]
They are seperate. However it features built in support for the Xbox 360 controller, so there still might be that "unfair advantage" you're talking about.
I doubt it'll make much difference in Halo though.
Built in support, what do you mean, you can use your computer to play instead of controllers?
I mean you can use an Xbox 360 controller on H2:V and it'll work perfectly as if you were playing H2 on the Xbox - aswell as being able to use good old fashioned KB/M combo.
[SIZE="2"][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]oh, well that is not as unfair as PC players being able to play on the Xbox, I guess, but it will be unfair.
Halo is about the skill in using your controller I guess so it wont matter a great deal, you can find a way to beat them.
Or switch controllers

Don't forget though, that computers can lag depending on internet speed and such, so unless you have quite a good computer you can be disadvantaged by that.
