*HiredGun, a group of interns from within Microsoft, had been dissolved, after publishing two updates for Halo 2 Windows Vista.
[[Category:Halo 2 DLC]]
*These updates were produced at the same time, the 2nd update was released months later, this is because Microsoft wanted to give the impression the product was still supported.
[[Category:Halo 2 (Windows Vista)]]
*As indicated from the updates, Halo 2 Windows Vista carries some incompatibilities with the Games for Windows Live client, these include Join lag/1 second game freeze. No more updates have been published in over 2 years, even though it is clearly stated in [http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&x=17&y=18&p1=12429 Microsoft's product lifecycle], that the product is still supported.
*Halo 2 Vista update patch #1 removes the ability for custom maps to show their internal map image, this counts as an anti-feature.
