Default Halo Combat Evolved

I would like to play Halo: CE on the pc.
Where would I purchase it? And can I play it online? And is it still pretty populated?


And do we know a release date for Halo2 for the pc? Like do i need DX10? i know vista is needed, but yeah.


Thanks

Halo Combat Evolved and Halo CE are different. Halo CE stands for Halo Custom Edition.

You can buy Halo Combat Evolved from any retail store for under $20, and there are quite a few servers on gamespy for it.

From what i've heard, Halo 2 will be DX10, but im not sure if its backwards compatibly with DX9. I also heard that its only compatible with Vista though, but again, im not 100% sure since its not out yet.

Combat Evolved multiplayer is full of idiots who turn into keyboard warriors when you kill them im sure if you looked around a few game shops you would find it if theres ny shop that sells second hand games you might find one there as well.
