Microsoft Games Studios has today confirmed what retailers have been saying for several weeks; Halo 2 for Windows Vista will now release across Europe on June 8 and not as previously announced May 18.

Halo 2 Vista will be optimised for quick play, enabling players to insert the game disc and begin the campaign without having to go through an extended install. The game will also support Windows Live for online multiplayer and challenge gamers to gain over 40 Achievements.

Halo 2 for Windows Vista will retail at £34.99 in the UK.
