Subject: 95% Sure There is no Delay!

What it is.

Odd...maybe MS screwed up in manufacturing and needed to correct it(just a possibility). Other than that, i am sure they would've said something somewhere if there were a delay for the release. I sure hope there isn't, mainly because if reviewers already got their copies, why can't we? Most reviews I've seen have nothing but good news. If there was something wrong with the game, i am sure they would've noted it.

Since when has Bungie been actively involved in the halo 2 vista project? They have never posted any info about it, it's not even on their website. This is entirely hired gun's responsibility.

What it is.

^Yeah, back on their old site they basically told the MAW that it's not Bungie's project and that no more info will come from them rather Hired Gun(the ones doing all of the work). Also, if it is delayed, they should be generous enough to give us a demo.

It's delayed. Let me say that again for all of you who are still cuddling your pillows for the night of May 7th. Its DELAYED. It has been officially announced. I know it sucks, but life goes on. Suck it up, we still have 16 more days to go.

Look at the positive side of things. We're getting nice instant updates for waiting a little longer.

but let me say this: that is a small-medium gaming mag not a large one why would they be the only ones with that information? also look @ the top where they have the pic of the game and some basic info about it. it says the release date was the 28th of February for the game.. i dont know how credible that is and until i hear hired gun or M$ say something im not gonna believe that.

Seriously, and since when would MS make a major satememnt like this to a small gaming mag? I've never heard of this magazine before, and if you had read my original post, you would see that I mentioned this little "news" article. I'm just hoping that I'll see H2V in tomorrow's ad.

I still have my sights set on may 8th unless ms, bungie or Hired Gun says something about the delay. also I have been checking retail stores online and they still have halo 2 vista as a may 8th release.

While I agree with you that Gamepro is not the BEST game-mag out there, let me say this too. Which would you trust more for videogames? Gamepro or Target or Walmart? Gamepro has dedicated people working day in and day out, to provide gamers with updates. Now while I am not a gamepro subscriber, and I prefer PCGamer for my news, I am not surprised that Hired Gun would speak behind the scenes to Gamepro. I am surprised that they have not spoken to anyone else about this issue.

They say that the release date was changed, but they did not specify to when. They mention that some sites have taken the liberty of changing the release date to the 28th of may. I believe that Gamepro is a very credible source of information, and among the best in the field, not THE best, but certainly up there. If they say that the game is delayed, well nine times out of ten, it will be.

I am not appreciative of having a three year old port come out three weeks later than it should. I'm sure that the guys at hired gun feel the same way. I am prepared for the release date to be may 8th still, however, I do not expect it to come out by then. Maybe we'll get a demo instead. We should all get an official announcement in a few days, maybe by Monday. Till then, for those who care, keep your fingers crossed.

thats is just it....y would they not speak to someone else? it doesnt make any sense, which is y i said i dont believe it until i hear an OFFICIAL word from M$ or Hired gun...so until then....im looking forward to the 8th.

and anyway who in their professional mind would release a 3 year old game 3 years later and then decide to delay it at the last moment. it isnt like it is new tech like the case of crysis being delayed multiple times. it is 3 years old! they shouldnt have delayed it (if they did) right at the freaking last second that is highly unprofessional and very sloppy. if there was something wrong then they should have caught it months mabye even years ago when they were suposed to be doing it in the 1st place. not now. no something is going on that they arnt telling us about. there is much more to this (if it is true) than we know. mabye delaying it for halo 3 beta...mabye.... or something else.

also: if there was a problem installing then why in the world would the reviewers that got copies not catch it and put it in their reviews? no...something isnt right

SOMETHING STINKS AND IT WREAKS OF MICROSOFT!

If they're so credible why do they have February 28th listed as the release date? I don't think GamePro is credible at all and highly doubt that Microsoft would make a statement like this to them. Also, multiple gaming sites/magazines have received review copies of the game and have given it good reviews...it seems pretty dumb to delay a game because of install issues...

Maybe there is some confusion in MS. but even if there is a delay why delay a 3 year old game a few days before release. I remeber reading IGN's preview about the tray and play feature and they didnt say anything about there being installition issues. . And if there was a delay why gamepro they still think its Feb 07. MS would probley announce it to some Magazine that knows what date it is and how many developers say that a game is being delayed through a email.

dude click the link that ad is directly linked to the official website.....

also .......sounds like someone is repeating everything i said in one post..... *cough* flapjack *cough*

and to answer you no they havent the only thing we have "heard" is that article in that magazine/website that thinks it is being released last February.

but....bad news amazon.com changed it to the 22nd but non of the retailers have yet to. so............ mabye the "delay" has to do with preorders. mabye the ones changing the date ran out and that is when they getting more? maybe? sounds unlikely but...

also: it is 2 days before the release what is Microsoft gonna do with the copies it has already printed and shipped? they cant get copies all over the US in 2 days or vice-a-versa. that is a HUGE waist of $ to have those copies just sit there or destroy them. why cant they just release a patch to fix what they need to fix if it is actually delayed or has some kind of problem.

true, but IF its delayed till later on this month, i guess lots of people will buy other games instead of Halo2vista....
It's just stupid, really a bad image for a 3-year-old-game...

Who cares?

  • 05.05.2007 5:30 PM PDT

What it is.

I ain't gonna lie, if IGN hasn't changed their date, i think GamePro is fooling us all. If this isn't some big rumor, they had better give us a demo. If this wasn't a huge rumor, MS would've spilled the beans to HG/Bungie and either Bungie and/or HG would have mentioned it yesterday. If stores like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart still have their dates the same, by this time, you'd expect it to be on the 8th. This better be some kind of "May fools"(i know it's supposed to be April) joke, if not, we better hear something from MS/HG ASAP otherwise it'll just show how irresponsible MS is.
