A new ability pushed by the Microsoft team is a feature called "[[wikipedia:Tray and Play|Tray and Play]]". It is an attempt to emulate the ability of consoles to instantly play new discs in a DVD drive without installing them, allowing the end-user to play the game as it is installing. ''Halo 2 Vista'' was the only game released with this technology. | A new ability pushed by the Microsoft team is a feature called "[[wikipedia:Tray and Play|Tray and Play]]".

''Halo 2 Vista'', being a release for the Games for Windows service, includes support for Xbox Live for Windows system. It intertwines with the [[Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live]] system, allowing communication with someone who has an Xbox. However, cross-platform play is not supported, despite being planned, initially. The GFWL interface is similar to that of the Xbox 360 dashboard. Instead of using peer to peer matchmaking, players are able to create dedicated servers, which are created with a program that comes with the disc. | ''Halo 2 Vista'', being a release for the Games for Windows service, includes support for Xbox Live for Windows system.
