==Halo on the PC ==
''Halo'' was originally intended for the Macintosh, as a sequel to [[Bungie]]'s popular game ''[[Wikipedia:Marathon Infinity|Marathon: Infinity]]''. However, with the release of the [[Xbox]], and Microsoft's purchase of Bungie Software, the game was scrapped and ported as a first-person shooter on the Xbox.
In 2001 however, Bungie along with Gearbox Studios shipped a PC version of ''Halo'' which became popular with many PC gamers. However, many were disappointed with the netcode, and people complained that the port was poorly designed, causing lag in online play. ''[[Halo PC]]'' was created to fix these problems, eventually a program called [[Halo: Custom Edition]] followed.
''[[Halo 2]]'' was ported to the Windows Vista operating system in 2007, titled ''[[Halo 2 Vista]]''.
