Here you go. Works fine on Windows 7 and 8.
The reason it required Vista at the time is the DirectX 10 requirement; all newer versions of Windows also have DX 10. When the game was released, however, your two main operating systems for gaming were XP or Vista, and the latter sucked if you didn't have hardware with Vista drivers available. Since Win 7, DirectX 10 requirements haven't been an issue.
Right Here
Pretty sure it is
Isn't that just a normal copy of Halo 2 on windows that can still be purchased today? While yes, it would be nice, that is just Nelson showing off how the surface tablet can game. I really doubt Halo will be coming any time soon.
Halo didn't start as an exclusive by the way. [Neither was Halo 2.] (http://www.amazon.com/Halo-2-Pc/dp/B000NV8F58/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1369426722&sr=1-2&keywords=halo+3)
you need a copy of Halo 2 vista, then use the instructions in the video from the description to remove the Games for windows live software and install their custom launcher.

Hell there's even a established modding scene for Halo 1 & 2 on PC
http://www.amazon.com/Halo-2-PC/dp/B000NV8F58
ughhh this halo 2 online subject surfaces frequently. Heres the bottom line, a simple halo 2 pc amazon search will result in this, or you can buy this wherever youd like. Local gamestop problably wont have it but whatever. After you but this you install it on ure PC and you will be able to play ONLINE through whats called Windows Vista Games. This runs through the xbox live network. You WILL be able to play online against anyone just like you were playing it on your xbox years ago. You can setup a new gamertag or you can link it to your xbox live one if you already have. You can see your friends online and they will see u online(playing halo 2 PC) You DONT need an xbox live gold membership for online play. There are NO ranking systems or playlists, just custom games, usually only FFAs on lockout or midship. Its still fun though. As far as local mulitplayer(splitscreen) i havent tried it but im 90% sure it will work fine.
They're both still sold on Amazon, not sure why others are saying pirating is the only option.
Halo 1
Halo 2
Of course i'm not sure how well they'll run and what sort of unofficial fixes/patches you might need to get them playable.
Still, a port of MCC would be amazing.
Seems like the Halo 2 topic was pretty active this week so.
Halo 2:(Vista)
Probably this and this.
Halo
Halo 2
About the only option to the best of my knowledge...

What do you mean released again? You can go and buy it now. If anything they should be making more recent Halo games on PC.
Yes.
EDIT: Games for Windows Live, though. :/
EDIT2: And it's exclusively for Vista.
$20 for a new copy. Online still works.
I bought it in a best buy years ago, and the price has been going /up/ ever since: but who cares, here ya go.
http://www.amazon.com/Halo-2-PC/dp/B000NV8F58
Problems: games for windows live.
Not problems: I once spent six hours in a one on one deathmatch with a korean college student (taking english class) teaching her every curse word I know of in english, french and spanish.

Also if you are getting Halo 1 + 2 You have to get Custom edition for Halo CE and Project contingency for Halo 2 they really make the games multiplayer part. Also Halo CE requires an update from Bungie called update 1.10 its entirely free and easy to find by just searching "Halo CE PC update"

The only Halo with a pc port is the original halo 2 as Microsoft uses it as a selling point for Xbox. Although, the new games are coming to Windows but is being pushed through Windows own storefront for the time being.
Edit: Halo 2 on Windows https://www.amazon.com/Halo-2-PC/dp/B000NV8F58 although I think you will find it impossible to run on anything later than Vista
Edit 2: Halo 1 has a pc port as well
1 and 2 are on PC.

Read about the compatibility issues others were talking about unless you Vista like I did on my old rig when I played 2. I haven't tested it on my newer OS yet.
For some stupid reason it's still $24
Halo 2 is actually cheaper than Halo 1!

Halo 3 was the first Halo that didn't come to PC.
Yes it was on PC lol. http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Combat-Evolved-PC/dp/B00009TW6R and http://www.amazon.com/Halo-2-PC/dp/B000NV8F58
and Halo Online - the over seas only game.
Here's a link for HALO 2 PC - Amazon... HALO was also made for PC.
Sad days when they announced HALO 3 would only be console.

Halo 2 wasn't a Xbox exclusive prove
I want to know as well

Of course the online servers were taken down ~1-2 years ago but I think community ones might've popped up if you know how to mod it to access them.

Amazon Halo 2 Vista is still in stock
But, we have [Halo 2...] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000NV8F58?pc_redir=1396240671&amp;robot_redir=1)
That is why i said at the time most of what i listed, accept for max payne and burnout were mainly xbox releases with a windows release usually following shortly after.
And not to be a stickler, but technically not even halo 2 is an exclusive
microsoft was smart and ported most of their big sellers so they would have a way to keep making money rather than forcing an emulation project.

Don't shoot the messenger, please - I don't represent codehpro, Microsoft, or anything else for that matter. The site claimed it was legal, so I wrote that.
It's up to everyone to gather knowledge and decide whether or not to pay for a physical, truly legitimate copy (merely $15 at Amazon) or visit Codehpro and pick it up within a legally grey area. Buying a physical copy doesn't mean it's going to work out of the box, either - patches and updates still require external and manual installation due to shaky support Microsoft provides for this game.
Either way, I'd love for a community to continue to support and help revive one of the best competitive and fun Halos out there.
