Er, I just pointed out that already idiot.

http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo2Vista/content.aspx?link=Halo 2VistaAboutPage

The above URL is the official webpage for Halo 2 Vista.

This is the only official timeframe about the game. Any dates you see elsewhere that differ is a speculation.


It is not professional to set dates for products. Setting dates creates a deadline, which useally causes corner-cutting, and other forms of quality-loss.

If you want to find out information regarding Halo 2 Vista, then you should send an e-mail to a Bungie representative.

What it is.

I don't really care so much about a released date(even though that'd be nice) as much as i do an update. They have yet to inform us of Hired Gun's progress. I believe they should have a progress report and some new screens of possibly campaign or just plain out multiplayer like the others.

...And you never told any of us here that you had a relation ship with a guy who works for bungie, who could possible get us out of this lack of information. Thats low man...thats real low...

I thought you all new :X. Some CMT members have bungie/microsoft Employee's aims. Our old webhost (DirtyDJ) has Frankies personal cell #.

I'm curious; if you're such the pessimist to see that the forums are used to not be a social interaction with one another, then why the hell are you here vomiting your bile? By your logic, you are one of the sad, pathetic losers you've described because, obviously, you persist in your matter and you're interacting socially. Also by this logic, this would then seem that you have no life and no friends, right?

See how intelligent you are? C'mon, do ya see it? The amount of knowledge you possess and the submissive thoughts you've presented here--can't you see it all? No, I didn't think so. Most ignorant people don't, hence the root word of ignore.

And, wait, it's not professional to set dates for products? Were you dropped when you were young? It's actually quite the opposite; it just means you're shooting the breeze and that the company itself doesn't set a goal for themselves. "It'll be out when it's done" is beyond a sorry excuse and shows that they obviously have better things to do then develop a game, such as drink, play games, run around like idiots, pass out, and then do it all over again. Game developers are more than capable than accurately predicting the finish of their product unless, of course, they deviate from it and then go back later and say, "Oh, jeez! We won't have enough time to finish this!"

Not setting a release date shows a lack of organization and dedication to something. If a newspaper just put out a newspaper when ever it felt like it then imagine the amount of discredit they'd receive. It's the same for Bungie too. They're expected to do a job and get it done, but not take their sweet time doing so, especially when all they have to do is post a damn update about the game, considering they're not even developing the port once more.

So take your propaganda love for Bungie some where else, preferably off of these forums; after all, we're nothing but a bunch of friendless losers, so why even waste your time? [/sarcasm]

Well said. *Applause*

And yeah, this is rediculous. Bungie all you have to do is say "We're still working on H2V" in one of your updates. Just sneak it in there somewhere, it's not that hard. I mean, it's like you've forgotten about it... or it never really existed, and it was all an elaborate lie, OR someone accidentally deleted all of H2V's completed code, so H2V has actually been cancelled for a while and Bungie's just afraid to tell us...

Call me paranoyd,but i think H2V is almost 99% done,and since the game can only be played on vista,Microsoft has Bungie on a leash,not to release it untill more copies of Windows Vista are sold,which is kind of strange,since we all know people will rush in to buy Vista once Halo 2 is out...Maybe someone can post some numbers on Vista.

you need air dude.............

Why do you all keep on complaining, you fully well know that they are working on the game, its bascially Halo 2 Xbox but looks a little prettier, has even better netcode, servers, allows mods etc. I think you guys can wait a little longer, remember that Bungie still have to work on Halo 3, that is the most important thing right now, Halo 2 is around 3 years old.

  • 03.02.2007 10:20 AM PDT

What it is.

i guess you also have to take in consideration that it's only 10 people working on the game full time...although it's inexcusable to not give us an update, especially when it's been about 4 months since the last real update.

I agree, all they're waiting for is windows live. All they need to do is incorperate it into Halo 2's multiplayer and maybe update a few textures to high res pwnage. Deluding that one thing they have an ENTIRE game to inform us on. Though we know most stuff about gameplay, it would be nice to know about netcode, horsepower, release dates, and more.

Im sure this topic is a bit pointless cuz they will just ignore us like they have been done to all of these kinda topic , don't get me wrong , Im -blam!- wanting a damn update too , but they only care about Halo 3 since its the next Halo , and they problably think everyone who loves Halos has played the Halo 2 on Xbox so they will just ignore us like some pointless whining kids -_-
BUT WE JUST WANT AN UPDATE ! IS IT SO HARD TO DO THAT FRANKIE ?

Dude, obviously you have never coded a complex piece of software, because if you have you would know perfectly well that setting any kind of specific deadline that you will have everything completed by is impossible unless you greatly over estimate, they think they will have it done in 2007, they just don't know if it will be in the sprting, or just in time for christmas.

How professional is it to set a release date of, say, March 31st, and then come across issues during debugging, that takes you till May to fix? By your reasoning, every product, uppon announcement, should have a release date listed, because obviously every professional company will know exactly when they want to release the product, and will obviously get it done by that date, no matter what time consuming mistakes or problems they encounter.

I would like a little update on H2V, but expecting a release date until final debugging is finished is, in the oppinions of any professional programmer, foolish.

I don't think they'll suddenly find out, "Oh dear, none of our code works!" They will compile it and play test it pretty often I'd imagine. They're called alpha/beta etc versions. HPC had one that leaked online and all.

I agree that not setting a release date is unprofessional if anything. Imagine doing contracted work for a large company, which is what Hired Gun are doing really, and you say "Oh, we don't know when it'll be done." Professional?

Also, a 10 man team to work on a port is pretty large. Smaller teams have done entire games. I wonder how many people worked on the original Halo. Take away anyone who worked on the music scores, voices, PR folks and you'd probably narrow it down to a fairly small group.

Your right, the likelyhood of them suddenly one day going "-blam!-! Nothing works!" is small.

But the likelyhood of them finding one small problem, taking the time to fix it, a few dozen times, and maybe a fix done to fix a problem seen a month ago causes the new module you just coded to not work properly for whatever reason, and now you need to not only re-write that fix, but any other code you wrote that may have to be altered due to that change, and so on. Most of the time taken in the coding process is debugging, as you wouldk now if you were a programmer.

And they have set a release date, it's 2007. You expecting day and hour or something?

I'm pretty sure they could provide a release date by this point.

Besides, I don't want a date, I just want an update.

LoL I grabbed this from his MySpace page.

This ugly monster is like 30, and hangs out on forums with 18 year olds. No wonder he has trouble getting sex! What type of an idiot poses like that on webcam? Its like his getting off at looking at himself on the screen, actually, you know what... I don't wanna know what was going through his mind at the time he took that photo... Its probably not legal anyway!

Wow dude, are you trying to be cheeky? Because you phail. Speaking subjectively, I'm sure he's better looking than you. Oh, and not everyone on this forum is 18 dumb-blam!-. I'm 22, Igg's older than that, by how much I don't know. Point is, video games aren't exclusively made for young kiddies like yourself. Neither are forums. So perhaps you should go back to "halo2vista.com." Since that website perfectly matches you. Stupid, and pathetic.

Oh, and as far as flaming goes, You have a lot to learn. You couldn't flame a piece of paper loser.

Maybe I am, but what the hell does that have to do with this? Tell you what, you show us your head.

You come into our forum and in less than two weeks you've managed to anger everyone with your annoying, provocative behavior. Stop instigating us, you bastard.

By the way, Agamemnon only needs to get laid once to say that he has had sex more than you. Chances are, he probably has. With your mom. He's probably her best client. He told me that he pays at least two dollars a year for her services. I, personally, think he overpaid, as I get a special discount as a close friend of hers. Very close.
