W2K and Halo

[awkduck]

I'm not into games anymore. But way back when the original Halo was released, it was said to work on Win9x and WinXP; but not W2K. Was that eventually solved, or does it still persist? If anyone remembers that, what was the issue? I never really looked into it. Or was it some myth, propagated as truth?

I don't know about myths, but for some reason, in 2025 on Microsoft official website there's an system requirements page.

There it says that Windows 2000 is supported OS.
