Oh, cool; another update that doesn't even mention one bit of the recent H2V news. Great stuff Bungie; you get two thumbs up.

"But we're not "fully" doing the port; Hired Gun is."

I don't think that stopped you from posting Halo 1 PC information when Gearbox was porting it, now did it?

Yeah, and this whole "Just search for it" attitude is really putting me off. It's making it sound like you don't care at all, and it's another bad port. Dare I say you're even embarrassed about it. I would surely hope not though.


Will you people just stop? Please? Go search for Vista info somewhere else!

Bungie, either post an Update on Halo 2 Vista or remove the link from your site. You are clearly abandoning this project before it has even launched. And don't use the look at other sites excuse on me either. There is LOADS upon LOADS of info on Halo 3 but there is next to none on Halo 2 Vista. Post some new screens, post some graphical updates, post something on the editing kit but for god's sake post something or even acknowledge that the game exists OR remove the link to the H2V section from the main page.
uhhhh we did get new screenshots this week, as well as a release date and editing kit details were released last week. They are game Dev's, you are not, they know how to work a project, you do not.

Anyway, like everyone said, nice update. I'm guessing ghost mortar is a typo ;)


Really? Were they posted on Bungie.net in the H2v section? No. Did we get the details on the specs for the editor or if we even have a chance of them letting single player modding in? No. I love how you assume that I have never worked on a game project.

Also the same goes for Halo 3 that you just said for Halo 2 Vista but which one is getting loads of coverage and useless updates that say " Liek O-M-G teh waterz is teh prettiez!!!!!!11!!!111111!11111 ". Think before you post.

Could you stop being a selfish console nub for two minutes?

Bungie's next game that our studio is developing is Halo 3. We're not developing Halo 2 for Windows Vista. The game does exist as evidenced by the weekly blog updates that Hired Gun is posting over at IGN.

Our new site is launching next week so you might get your wish.

2 things:
1) Ghost plasma mortar
2) Brute Grenade

Both in plain language, both in the update. It is probably nothing but it could be a clue as to what extras they are developing. Since when do Ghosts have mortar (probably don't, he could have mispoken, but you never know)? And is the Spike Grenade the Brute Grenade (probably but interesting to note).


Spake Grenade and Brute Grenade have always been the same thing :\

Sketch MIGHT isn't good enough. Either post it or tell us you really don't give a -blam!- about how the game turns out. Because god forbid you do your duty to your loyal fans that supported you in the days of Marathon because they don't have a 360 crammed into their -blam!- areas.

Oh and by the way not to sound mean but I have dealt with the utter crap that was Halo 1 PC for years the reason it is so is because Bungie wasn't involved they let Ms take care of it. Do not make the same mistake twice. But I really don't care because when Halo 3 is done your out of a cash cow and you'll either have to do something new or actually pay attention to the fans that made you are what you are today.

I am getting the legendary edition without a doubt. It will be -blam!- great and definitely worth the money. I am foaming at the mouth just because of it's greatness and my need to buy it.

Also, did he say that "They added a huge rippling splash for when you shoot a Ghost plasma mortar into the water."? Because I do not remember ghosts having plasma mortars. Last time I checked wraiths could do that, not ghosts.

Shutup about Halo 2 Vista already they didn't say that they were even going to mention it in the updates. They said that they wouldn't so just deal with it and find your information somewhere else. Sorry but the constant complaining on every other post was pissing me off. No offence.

I don't know if anybody mentioned this stuff earlier in this forum so sorry if you did and I stole it.

What you fail to see is that H2V is not what bungie is working on, so quite obviously, it is not going to be in the BUNGIE weekly update. No, the updates were not put on the H2V section of the website, but it should also be noted that the Halo 3 section isn't always updated either. In fact, It is missing things such as the wallpaper released in the BWU several weeks ago, so I hardly think them not putting new H2V info on the webpage has hardly anything to do with them not caring.

If you watched the video on the editing kit, they heavily hint that scripting will be possible in H2V. I assume you never worked on a game dev project, because if you did, I would expect you to be more mature, and you would have understood what they showed in the editing kit video.

I love how you assume that I am some "console nub" even though the mod team
I lead has been on the front page of bungie.net 3 times. The only one I see being selfish here is you, demanding answers like you have been starved of information, when no one else is.

Hark! You filthy hypocrite. You Halo 3 forumers have whined and complained about a game where information is elsewhere. So I don't want to hear it. But unlike Halo 3 its very difficult to find anything on H2V the only update we've had in four months was " OMG u guys get achievements! " While you have had consistant updates about everything from how big the blades of grass are to something as meaningless as " You guys have to see the water is Halo 3! Its SO awesome!!!!!! ". So shut it.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

I suggest you contain yourself lest you be banned for violating the play nice rule. At least the people complaining about Halo 2 for Windows Vista info do it in a non-rule violating way.

For the record... it is our website, we'll put what we want on it. And Halo 2 for Windows Vista doesn't appear much on bungie.net because it is being almost completely handled by MGS. We (and that includes the web team) are focused on Halo 3. We simply do not have the resources to deal with Halo 3, the new web site design, etc., AND also keep track of external happenings of Halo 2 Vista. We could for Halo PC because of how it landed in Halo 2's development. But Halo 2 Vista does not afford us that luxury. You'll also notice we don't hook you into the latest Halo Wars news, either.

Deal with it.

I never called you a Console nub. I was talking to the guy I quoted below that statement. Well all of the previous updates on H2V were on Bungie.net so I must be a fool to assume that they would be on there again. I understood it perfectly well, but that wasn't any REAL information its just stuff we have now in a new package with a 2 in it. Not to mention that now we have even less because there is no single player support now. Lets not forget that they were to lazy to include an in-house editor. But atleast this one will have a decent netcode. Maybe by 2012 Halo 3 PC might have something that other PC games have had for decades.
