“On top of that, it appears that cross-platform Halo 2 fragfests will remain a pipe dream for now. According to Bungie, Halo 2 PC will not be compatible with the Xbox version of the game for a few reasons. For one, the PC version of the game will include new maps and a map editor, which raises questions of how to handle play against Xbox players that have neither of these features.

Another reason to pass on the cross-platform play is because “a level playing field would be impossible.” In addition to the Xbox players having more than two years’ head start on the PC players, Bungie says that the controls and aiming have been fine-tuned for each system, and that matches between the systems would be “lopsided at best.” However, the PC version of the game will support other options beyond the keyboard-and-mouse combo, should players feel more comfortable with another control method.”

XB360 got 3

Uhhh, what? Since when did the Wii have the ability to connect to Windows players? =/

I’m doubtful if this little stunt of Microsoft’s will work. Depends on if any game devs give a damn.
