Major Nelson shows us how Games For Windows Live goes |
Ó
Leave it to Major Nelson to have the first look at all the fun features Microsoft has with its online feature. He's got a new post up chronicling what we suppose is the internal test of Games for Windows Live. His test subject: Halo 2 Vista.
Of course, he glosses over the finer points for a bit of bulleted action, but that's just fine. He manages to make it seem like playing Live on the computer is pretty much like being on the Xbox again, albeit with a CPU tower beside your screen:
- After installing H2 for Vista, I was able to sign in to Xbox Live from the 'Guide' within the game, and see all of my LIVE friends, messages etc. (above and here)
- I hooked up my Xbox 360 Wireless Controller and my Wireless headset to my PC via the Wireless Gaming Receiver.
- I was able to send and receive text and voice messages from the guide to other LIVE members who were on their Xbox 360’s. You press the Guide button on your controller and the guide pops up over the game – just like on the Xbox 360.
- Got my first Halo 2 Achievement (and added another 30 points to my GS)
- While I was playing through the first level of the campaign, I was on a voice chat over my wireless headset with Litheon who was playing Gears of War on his Xbox 360.

Cool im first im so cool.... and this isnt fair now the cheap asses get a 360 for free basically if they have vista.
i agree, i kinda fell conned now that i have bought the 360, i hope GOW never comes out on the PC or at least in 3 years, that way at least that way us 360 owners dont feel conned as much.
you guys kidding? I would consider this to be cool as hell. now I can get some gaming on with my PC friends who dump a ton of cash into their "gaming rigs"... not cheap asses... i'm the cheap ass, I didn't spend $3K on a new alienware pc, i bought a console
