Subject: When the heck is Halo 2 Vista coming out?

Bungie really made it sound like Halo 2 for Vista was finished and simply waiting for Vista to be released before they launched the game. Well Vista has been out for a little while now... So where is Halo 2 for Vista hiding? The only info I've been able to find says that Halo 2 for Vista will be released Q2 of 2007. Why exactly is that? Like I said, they made it sound like Halo 2 for Vista was finished, even before Vista was released, so where is it!

Actually if I had to guess, they will probably release it around the time when the Halo 3 beta comes out, just so there is plenty of Halo in the news around that time.

I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

last i heard from community members is that they're waiting for "Live Anywhere" to be released, so they can implant it into H2V.

Q2 means sometime between April-July 2007. I highly doubt that will happen. My intuition says it will be sometime around October or November.

I strongly disagree, IGN said that the developers were nearly finished with the game, they were just waiting for vista. Apparently now they're waiting for live, and Microsoft sure isn't going to wait until October to release live, of that I assure you.

Release live? What are we talking about here? I'm guessing Live Anywhere is some sort of PC version of XBL?

Yeah, where were you the last six months?

Live Anywhere is similar to XBL, not completely identical, but close enough.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Yes. It's a PC version of XBOX LIVE.

EDIT: It is called "Live Anywhere"; not "Windows Live". Windows Live is a completely different set of products.

Correct, but IGN also mentioned that Gran Turismo for the PSP was due to be a PSP launch title, that the PS3 was due out in the middle of 2006, and that H2V would support inter-Xbox connectivity.

Oh yeah, Jeez, it must be getting late here... Just about time for bed if I can't even remember what Live Anywhere is.

The few, the proud, the leet.

I wish I could make a game and release it on a relatively unsupported platform with an incredibly small user base to satisfy a few fans.

Well said. It would explain the lack of updates dealing with H2V. As I said months ago; Bungie shat on H2V.

Q2 2007 is official and is your best bet. If you're looking for a month, then I'd say June/July.

  • 02.15.2007 7:23 PM PDT

What it is.

Q1 is Jan-March...Q2 is April-June...Q3 is July-Sept...Q4 is Oct-Dec...so that gives them April-June...my theory is June 5th(actually it's the 1st but since that's a friday the 5th makes more since) because that is the set date for Shadowrun which is Live Anywhere's Launch title, not H2V. The reason why H2V isnt the launch title is because Shadowrun is actually using Live Anywhere's features...PC vs Xbox 360...i either hope it comes out sooner, or on that date...no later because the Halo 3 Beta will be out and i probably will have forgotten about H2V. So please Bungie...release this game..

No, Live Anywhere is not like Xbox Live for PCs, not necessarily. Instead, it merges PC gaming with Xbox Live, along with your handy-dandy cellphones which not only lower your sperm count, but also keep track of your friends list. Hence, whether if you're on your PC, or on your Xbox, or on your cell, you're Live... Anywhere.

By the way, this is like the billionth time someone posted a thread asking the release date for Halo 2 Vista. Wait.

Heyyo,

We all want H2V asap, but that ain't gonna happen. It'll probably be a Live Anywhere release title alongside that ShadowRun was it? yeah...

Anywho, patience is a virtue, and most do lack... I for one am ok with waiting sine a lot of great PC games are about to come out in a short time here, so I'll be kept busy with new and/or old games ti'll H2V. ;)

Also, it was mentioned in one of the first H2V FAQ's that xbox/pc gaming would NOT be shared.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

I think Bungie is too busy playing it to release it. They're the lucky ones that get to play the game at 1920x1200.

I went to gamestop and I saw the case sitting on the rack. But it was display. I asked when it was coming out and they said that it will be out June or July or something like that.

I was joking too. I already checked out MSGS anyways, so I knew you were fibbing.
