Subject: What I am more upset about than if Halo 2 Vista is delayed

If I am to find tomorrow morning that the game was delayed, then that is going to suck. But what I am going to be really mad about is if Bungie says nothing about it. It is already absurd we have heard nothing yet anyway. I don't really care if Hired Gun is making the game or not, it is still Bungie's baby.

Hey, maybe they'll give us a demo instead. That'll be ok...i guess. Well it'll satisfy me for another two weeks.

Oh Btw, a few days back, we were talking about something like , there might be another Virginia Tech if the game was postponed or cancelled. Do you think it's possible that... I think I'm coming to school with a taser for security, lol.

Ya that would piss me off to. Bungie acts like there so professional but they cant even give information about one of its Sub-projects.

i was hoping halo 2 Vista would make the halo 3 beta wait seem shorter :(

  • 05.07.2007 9:10 PM PDT

I must say that if Halo 2 Vista is delayed I probably won't consider buying it again until June 6th, after the Halo 3 Beta.

I really must say there is no reason why H2V should be delayed...the game has been done for how many years on xbox?? If they delay the release of the next big game for PC all they are doing is kicking themselves for loss of revenue and sales...IF ANYONE FROM BUNGIE OR MS IS READING THIS YOU HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY INSANE TO NOT RELEASE H2V!!!

Are you trying to insinuate that running out of duct tape is not a problem?

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

You people should stick to Xbox Halo.

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 far as Halo 2 goes, I think that's what my brother and I are gonna do.

It would be sweeet to have H2V, but I think I'm with you, node. It would be so much cheaper to just pick me up an Xbox, rather than spend the money on a new os atm.

Wow. I wake up this morning expecting to find an update. Nothing. What the hell, did Bungie get sucked into a black hole? Bungie, get off your lazy asses and say something!

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Just use Google, dude. It is a Microsoft/Hired Gun delay, not Bungie.

From GamePro Online
GamePro received an e-mail from Microsoft today notifying us that the developers of Halo 2 for Windows Vista are delaying the release of the game, which had originally been planned for an American release next week on May 8th.

"We're making some updates to Halo 2 for Windows Vista that should improve the install experience and address other technical issues, ensuring that the final retail version provides a fantastic experience for gamers," the statement writes. "Given these changes, we will be adjusting the on-shelf date of the product."

Although the message does not specifically state how long this delay will be, retailers and other video game-related websites have already taken the liberty of extending the U.S. release to May 22nd, 2007. GamePro will update you if we receive further word from either Bungie or Microsoft.

It doesn't matter who delayed it. It is still Bungie's game even if they didn't technically make it, and they should have said something.

No, that thing from Gamepro was supposed to be fake. They made up some -blam!- about some games in the past so they've lost alot of credibility for what they post.. The fact that no one has said anything about the game being released is the most rediculous thing ever...WTF is wrong with you Bungie/M$/Hired Gun. You make a game announce its being released on the 8th and then its not on the 8th...with no -blam!- explanation?! Bungie/M$/Hired guns studios should all get torn down by little kids with those plastic, yellow baseball bats while screaming M$ blows.

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.

Achievements and a map editor, plus the added mobility of me being able to play on my laptop at places where I cannot take my xbox. I'd say that is more than enough "upgrades" for me.

  • 05.08.2007 10:54 AM PDT

Well thats it for me first the whole not updating matchmaking thing and now this.Im not that mad about the delays just that they aren't saying anything until after the fact. My sundays newspaper said it will be in store may 8th and if you buy vista upgrade you get 25 dollars off.So I went to best buy and they said they Have no idea what was going on so I came back here and read this crap. But on bungies main page there is nothing.There is no f'n way that bungie did not know about this if they knew they didnt ship it out on time or whatever they should of said something days ago it is 6.00 PM eastern time and I had to waste a 20 minute drive in rush hour traffic to find out it's been cancelled and there is still niothing on the main page.But I don't care anytmore because I instead bought a nintendo ds and a game for it and I am loving this thing. Besides the only reason I was gonna get H2 V is for the map editor and that looks to complicated anyway so whatever
