The best-selling Xbox game of all time is coming to PC as a launch title for Microsoft's
new PC operating system called Windows Vista (it won't run on WinXP). It will offer
gamers both the single-player campaign and multiplayer experience of the original game
as well as the Multiplayer Map Pack and a level editor to give players the ability to
build, create, and customize their own multiplayer levels. It's the sequel to the
highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo: Combat Evolved. Here, the saga
continues as Master Chief, a genetically enhanced super-soldier, is the only thing
standing between the relentless Covenant and the destruction of all humankind. The
epic story continues: Following the demise of the Covenant at Halo, the Master Chief
must defy the Covenant march once more as they fast approach earth’s perimeter. Failure
is not an option. A new graphics engine brings the Halo universe to life – dynamic
lighting and shadows, sprawling rendered environments and obsessive attention to detail
make this game nothing short of spectacular. There's powerful new weapons, many of
which have been pried from the twitching claws of defeated enemies. Also, you have more driveable vehicles, giving you even more ways to speed into battle or explore the game’s vast landscapes.
