Achronos, can you give us the release date of the release date???? Or at least give us an idea of when we will know?

I think they would be cool if the game didn't include cheaters, like on Battle.net, their secure leaderboards are great IMO.

-EDIT In response to Tom calling global leaderboards dumb :(

Dude, we are in deep crap. If a Bungie.net overlord started commenting on the post, then we obviously have been very very bad people. Soon we'll be seeing posts saying they delayed the release date by a year and posted videos of blacked out screens and them laughing maniacally as they keep Halo 3 all to themselves. But then, there is the Beta coming out so... They'll probably wait til they have a maximum amount of players on Live, then send everyone a mega virus that fries everyone's 360s, just for kicks!
Wow, I let my imagination get the best (or worst) of me there.

Nice update. IDK why everyone says it sucks, maybe the mister chief just has that much inluence on the quality of the update.

Posted by: Achronos
This is the Bungie Weekly Update. As Bungie is not directly developing Halo 2 for Windows Vista, we're not going to be the ones announcing much info about it... at least not in our Weekly Update. That's not to say we'll never talk about it, but rather that most of Bungie's collective attention is focused on Halo 3 (and to a lesser extent, Halo 2 maps).

I suggest you look around, I believe there have been rumblings from Hired Gun (the MGS team doing much of the work for Halo 2 Vista) about various features of the game.


Im not gunna argue with that, though im prety sure you got some idea on how its goin. but thats whats googles for.

One thing i want to ask though is are you going to include whats on the new map pack in H2V?
If your not then i got a great idea...make the 2nd MMP a Xbox/PC hybrid disk that would work on both systems! (idk if its possible but i think it might be if u replace the dvd files telling me to put the disk in my xbox with the installation)
Just a thought

I think the easy mute option is great. You know, it would be good to know that if you have been muted by another player a little anonymous text box pops-up on your screen telling you that you have been muted by another player. That way you know if you have gotten carried away with words and also it may serve as a reminder to those annoying players to stop being annoying. In a way teach them to chill out on the mic.

I simply wish for information on H2V concerning how much the graphics have improved, like if they added HDR or any other cool features. Or, we haven't seen any release dates or anything, which is weird, since you could at least tell me.

Come on Bungie, you announced H2V on my 15th birthday, I simply know that H2V is a birthday present made specifically for me(even though others can play it to)!

LONG LIVE THE MAW

Sorry, but I promised I would lend my support to the Raid(which has failed completely, as far as I can tell, seeing as we only have what, 5 posts?). I guess I will look elsewhere for information, then.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the new website, and obviously, Halo 3.

I played Split Screen Halo:CE today for the first time in a very long time, and the Field of View and Depth of View were so perfect when two players were playing.


The tunnel vision of Halo 2 must die!!!!

1. Spring.
2. You'll find out about the features when you play.
3. You'll also find out about weapons when you play too, although as it is a beta those will be subject to change... perhaps even during the beta. :)


good to see the yellow text every now & again.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I guess we can't expect anything but vague details. It builds the sense of expectancy. Obviously, by reading through the discussions... easy to see how well it works.

We are all eagerly awaiting the Halo 3 Beta and the release of Halo 3.

Hey Bungie, do you think you could at least mention H2V? You have a large amount of loyal PC Halo gamers that are left in the dark. I understand Achronos' argument but the least you could do is say "Hey everyone, H2V is teh shine3z!11" or say "Hired Gun is doing very well but they refuse to give us H2V info for you at the moment." Don't forget about us PC gamers!

LONG LIVE THE MAW!!!

Did anyone else notice the out of place commas and the double-spaces randomly put in?

And yeah...absolutely no info on the beta...or was there?

What was the news about the Mulitplayer Beta? I didn't see anything about it.


yeah me either...i was hoping for a release date! Im getting sick of Crackdown already....ive beat the campaign 3 times! I hope they realize that when they say Spring, that that is a period of a little over 2 months......youd think they could at least narrow it down to a specific month...

Come check out the The Christian Halo Union. Whether you’re looking for fellowship, intelligent discussion, positive gamers, or maybe you just want to have fun, you'll find it with us. With over 650 members and counting, we're the most active Christian group on Bungie.net.

I read every word; It was a magnificent experience. The feeling of the words flowing gracefully off of the page was invigorating—and inspiring to say the least.

I will comment that, from a grammatical standpoint, it was slightly less organized this week; but I was so enveloped into it that I didn't care.

Thanks you, Frankie, for a great update. And I look forward to a picture of the new site, as well as Mister Chief—while at the same time I feel excruciatingly sad that my group is going to be going away for a while. I hope that it is not too long.

Farewell, friends.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

As Igg said, a little update on Halo 2 Vista would have been the icing on the cake for this week's update. You only have to give us a few crumbs, and we'll be happy!
