Just an idea, it mightv'e been posted before, but I decided to give it a shot.

I'd say halo 2 vista would be released late Spring. Because there would be a good chance the new halo 2 maps for xbox 360 would be included with it, so first of all, those maps would have to be completed. Maybe release them for xbox first.

Or, maybe for a marketing advantage, halo 2 vista would be released with the new maps a week or two, maybe a month before they're available on xbox. That'd get more people want to buy Vista and h2v for the new maps early.

They're 360-exclusive. Good thinking, though.

I don't mean to hi-jack your thread or anything, but this is a little something I came across...

After a few different "when is this going to be released" threads, and people linking to Game Stop's 6/29/07 release, I decided to sign up for the "notify me if the release date changes". Well, today, I received an email from Game Stop, stating that the release date was changed from 6/29/07 to 4/24/07!
Now, of course, this is Game Stop, and it is still un-official, but it is better than nothing right?! :-)

Well considering the first date was probably a safe bet, this change may mean they received some kind of info that allowed to be more brave in there estimate. Hopefully we will get some positive reinforcement from Bungie/M$ soon.

Yup, that's what I was thinking... Once you set a release date, you generally don't move it forward, unless you know something.

Technically, that is in Spring, so my theory kinda exists in this, nice find.

I don't see why they will make new maps for halo 2, when halo 3, halo wars,and halo 2 vista is coming out soon.

a vista

Grr.. stop calling it "A vista!"

As for the maps, even if they do make new maps 360 exclusive I would not count on them staying very exclusive for very long. Even if they aren't officially released for the PC, someone will copy them and port them in as they did with the H2 maps for HaloCE.

Yeah, I don't understand why they'd only be for 360. Even if they are, expect them to be remade by fans

Something else I noticed is that the Front page news hasn't been updated with the usual humpday posts and stuff like that. Maybe they are too busy getting ready for a big announcement...or the news page is broken.
