From the statement "As the release of our game draws nearer and nearer" and the fact that there's absolutely no mention at all of a delay, I highly doubt that the release is delayed. Also, in regards to the GamePro news, I also highly doubt MS would choose to make news like this by sending a letter to GamePro. I'm fairly certain they would announce it on Bungie.net, Microsoft.com, or on the Hired Gun blog. So, I'd say it's safe to say that we're still on for the 8th. My major backup for this is the latest post on the HiredGun blog.

Yeah, but they didn't mention anything to disprove the people who do say there is going to be a delay.

Everything in their news points to the original release date...especially in they're statement "as the release of our game draws nearer". I'm fairly positive it's going to be released on the 8th...if not, then I'll admit I was wrong and you can call me "stupid". :)

No..it doesn't. I would bet my house against your offer. You probably wouldn't want it anyway since it's a -blam!- hole, but I still bet it.

No, dude, Hired Gun is making Halo 2 Vista. Microsoft is just the publisher.

By the way, HiredGun.org just leads you to a band's website.

True that. Nice way of handling things Kim ;-)

Anyway, Flapjack, I wouldn't get too excited about it not being delayed as a result of Hired Gun's blog not mentioning it. So far, judging by the thread saying the delay is official, it looks as though Hired Gun is doing things a bit ass-backwards.

Cheers.

I'm also judging it based on the fact MS "broke the news" to a relatively minor gaming magazine...it's not their style. I can imagine it being in some bigger mags/sites like 1Up, GameInformer, or heck, Gamespot!

They don't want to admit delays. Even though it's big news, it's disappointing news, they like keeping low profiles on that kinda stuff.

If I'm right and I have Halo 2 on May 8th, I want you all to know I was right! However if I was wrong I wanna be slapped in the face!

  • 05.04.2007 4:54 PM PDT

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

Well on gamespot Australia it still says the release date is the 17th which was the original release date for Australia before this delay started going around.

Well this is interesting. Even Frankie didn't have anything to say about it. He's usually the rumor buster. Since Hired Gun AND Bungie have said nothing on this, who's left to announce anything on the delay?

Can I do the slapping?

Jokes aside, i think its going to launch on the 8th. People think! Bungie would have said something about the delay in the Weekly update but nope nothing about any delay there.

And for those people that say " Well they dint say it wasn't true, so you should believe a little insignificant Gaming mag" I think your nuts.

Reverse psychology doesn't work in this predicament.

For the record, I never confirmed nor denied the delay of Halo 2 Vista. But if you are wrong, I will call you stupid and instead of slapping you in the face, a sniper round will have to do.

=P i was going to get the game. But then I realized I couldn't run it. So i don't really care about it. I feel sorry for all of you. Thats Microsoft for you and Hired Gun. Hopefully, in two weeks all of you won't be coming here with all these problems about H2v. That would suck. Then i'd laugh at all of you that bought the game. Microsoft has your money, you have to tweak settings and get new hardware. That's MS and life.

Please stop fooling yourself. When was the last time Bungie actually broke significant news about Halo 2 Vista???

Look at all the major retailers(EB/GS,Amazon,etc) changing their release dates......that should be proof enough.

Finally why would a major(yes that's right) gaming mag lie about a 3 year old port being delayed?

im with the "no delay" thing walmart, bestbuy and circiut city are all displaying it as the 8th (except best buy which says 9th lol) and they havnt lied to me yet and this whole controversy started what a week or two ago and yet no official word except that announcement from the magazine/website that i have never heard of.
and anyway since when has it been M$ style to send info to an outlet that very few of their customers will get? no Microsoft is a "HEY LETS GET AS MUCH PUBLICITY AS POSSIBLE LETS PUT A TID BIT OF NEWS ABOUT OUR CEO BEING CONSTIPATED ON THE EVENING NEWS AND MORNING PAPER!" kinda company none of this back door stuff for them

I don't know, its hard to say for sure whether it will be delayed or not. On Hired Gun's blog, the sentence "as the release of our game draws nearer and nearer" doesn't sound to me like they're talking about the 4 days that are left... And why would so many stores report there was a delay if Microsoft didn't tell them about it? It's odd that they sent that letter to a medium-sized gaming site and didn't make a public announcement, but maybe they just don't want to attract too much attention to themselves because they're embarassed about the delay. The other theory I had, and this one seems the most plausible, is that all the pre-order copies have been ordered at the stores where a delay is being displayed and the shipping date that they now display is simply when the next batch will ship. Just my 2 cents... ;-)

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.

Blogs are like this. It's out of date, and the Hired Guns are probably too busy coding to even think about it.

N357 has the right idea. For all we know, this blog could've been written a week or so back. We still have no affirmations whether or not the game has been set back or not.
