Citing high-level sources in Microsoft, GamePro is reporting that the PC version of Halo 2 will hit some time after the launch of Windows Vista in Q1 2007.

They also learned some details on the game, one of which isn’t so exciting: Halo 2 will not feature cross-platform multiplayer, meaning that Xbox and PC gamers will only be fighting between themselves and not each other. However, the source cited was optimistic that a solution could be found.

It was also reported that Halo 2 will look “great” thanks to the use of DirectX 10 graphics in Vista. No details on the “great” look were offered. It was also stated that Microsoft will include a built-in map editor and modding system to help make the aging game more popular.

Halo 2, according to the report, is slated to hit sometime after the release of Windows Vista in Q1 2007.
