Microsoft, Bungie, Hired Gun, they are all going to screw them selves over if they put out a press release saying the game is delayed this late. The game is supposed to come out tomorrow and they haven't commented on anything yet. If they say that it is delayed now i will lose all respect for Bungie and Microsoft, they are doing an extremely poor job clearing this whole situation up considering they haven't said a word yet...Bungie/MS...WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!?!??!?!!??!?!

Or...its Bungie and Microsoft pulling the greatest prank ever...

Just to add to the confusion, I went to Gamespot.com, and they say that H2V is now in stores!


I saw that before, and whats ironic is that not to far down the page is an add saying "Coming soon to Windows Vista...Halo 2"

lmao , so get this! i just recently posted that best buy said the 8th but should be the 9th at 2:00pm. well i decided to call wal-mart and now there claiming it's the 10th? wtf is going on?


Knowing Walmart, if you were to walk into one of their stores they would already have it out...just like the DS Lite and Xbox 360 Elite release date mess-ups...

Update: Ok, every other time i load walmart.com from one of these links you guys post (even though they are the same) i get a different release date...
Update 2: Called my local ebgames...guess what...its coming out the May 12th!! WTF is going on!?!?!?!??!

Is Futureshop like Bestbuy for Canada? I've never heard of it until this thread :)

Sup, I'm (ES)Kenshin, the leader of the (ES)Clan and an admin on the (ES)Clan dedicated server on H2V.
Halo Custom Edition - 1,419 Hours.
Halo 2 Vista - 257 Hours and counting.
Xfire - cmkenshin

Circuit city's site still says May 8, and they have also reduced the price to $39.99...wtf?

Amazon.com has H2V for $44 when you pre-order it or something. For some reason whenever its a pc game, every store has a different price. But when its a console game they always have the same price on release date.

Really? Odd...

Oh! that's because IGN didn't update that yet. Look at the ad for Halo 2 in the link I posted. It has a countdown timer saying 13 more days. I thought I mentioned that.

from what i understand the stupid delay is to fix install issues... which i dont think they would need to delay for that... a what 30 minute install at most. bah. lets pull back the game for another 2 weeks to fix something that takes 30 minutes... right smart idea.

Hi, you guys remember Halo was originally suppost to come out for the PC. It was a really hot game at the time so microsoft bought the game to boost their xbox sales which it did. They didn't release it for the PC because no one would buy it for the xbox. As you know the game runs better and looks better on the PC. Then came Halo 2 which which they also held back from PC and used it again like a tool to boost xbox sales. The same story will happen for Halo 3. Halo is a great game that microsoft bought to use as a tool and has no shame about it. An example of this is requireing vista to run halo which as we all know is a scam to force you to buy vista because Halo 2 is not a DX10 game. It was made in the time before DX10.

I had to join the topic on this forum because I see the affects of this tooling on the gamers and it makes me said. Angry gamers, delay after delay, no real upgrade to the halo 2 game to take advantage of the new PC hardware and so on. But most of all, you can clearly see they don't give a rats a about you guys. No detailed info, sloppy info at best, and I see they do pretty much whatever they want. You know why? Because they have you. All of you in there pocket. No matter when they release you'll run out and shell out 50 for the game.

What can you do? Think about it? I want to see one of you posters step up, make plan and let's see what you can come up with. I have an idea but I wont say it yet.
