Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

Today, I am very disappointed. The people that tell us that all they care about is the community has screwed over the community.

Today, Halo 2 Vista was supposed to be released, but it hasn't been; and nobody has said anything official.

Well, at least it confirms the release date is not May 8/sarcasm. *gives finger to Microsoft*

Microsoft you have failed us yet again.

Yes it seems the game isn't out today and will released in the near future.

What has anyone lost...? Nothing. Go to school/work, do your day, go home, have your tea and do something else. It's a game. Dissapointing though it is, there isn't anything anyone can do anout it and people screaming left right and centre "omggggg this sucks!! i hate m$ i pwn them!!! im never buying this crud!!!!" does nothing for anyone but make people think "Wow. Seriously. Grow up".

All the people saying they wont buy it now because of the delay and will buy something else instead couldn't of been THAT interested in getting it in the first place. All the people screaming about how the delay means the end of the world can just go back to whatever they were doing before and play something else! When i finish work and go home, i will probably sit down and have a round or two of C&C3 rather than playing H2V. It's still a waste of a few hours and could frankly be spent doing far more productive things.

So just calm down everyone. It'll appear when it appears. No screaming will change it, no hate campaigns agaisnt Microsoft or whoever else people want to point the fingers at. If you're that angry about it.... have a valium.

Exactly what Cylon has just said. It doesn't freakin' matter if it comes out today, or a whole year later. It doesn't kill anyone except maybe for you whiners. Maybe you could use this time to get a life.

stfu if a game company makes a statement that it will be released on 8th May I expect it to be released, ofcourse I'm gona be pissed if there so ignorant they wont even post whether its been delayed and when the next official release date is and by this I dont mean random online websites posting differant release dates and an uknown game website releasing a dubious statement about the game being delayed because of the installment experiance

That's his point. It's a freakin' game, these things happen. I've been gaming for 15 years and I've seen delays a whole lot worse than anything here. Just get on with your day and realize that you're still alive. There IS more to life than whether or not a game has been released.

Charming.

Dates slip. It's life. Films, games, television schedules, cars, etc. True, it would be nice for Microsoft Game Studios to put out a statement or post something to the effect of "We were planning to release Halo2 to the pc community today, however due to problems with xxxxxx it has had to be delayed. We have no further date for release at this time." but they don't *HAVE* to. They've obviously contacted distributors who have themselves informed the consumer by changing the release dates on their records. With all the different dates ranging about, it sounds like they have updated them with a "until further notice..." statement and companies are themselves making dates up that sound possible.

Hell if it is a duplication problem and they have had to re-do ALL the manufactuer work they have done so far, its possible they'll turn around and say they can't recoup their losses and it'd be cheaper to just cancel the project instead of re-doing it all....! Just hope THAT doesn't happen!

Tottally disagree with what your saying, the game was originally going to be released sometime in January but got delayed, ok one delay no big deal happens all the time right, now they set the release date for May 8th, it seemed to be going good, now 3 -blam!- days before there rumors of another delay, that is complete BULL -blam!-, they said May 8th and 3 days before they send ouyt an email saying that there not finished, Get your -blam!- together Microsoft holy christ, not only that but there hasn't been an official statement saying it's been delayed from Microsoft, I know Bungie isn't involved but they should maybe say something, this is a disgusting launch.

We had are hopes up for May 8th and now they want us to wate 2 more weeks, seriously im looseing interest in this game and I don't know if I want to buy it anymore.

Then don't buy it. It's as simple as that. I said it in another thread, and I'll say it again. You people are actually like children. It is just a game, and if you are not going to buy it now because you have to wait for another two weeks, then that's just sad.

"Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop smokin'!"

What makes it worse is that supposedly they sent ONE email to ONE game related WEBSITE (of no importance). Yet no word from the actual developers themselves nor Bungie (no big surprise there, they have H3 to deal with). No updates to the official site or the GFW's site. No update to ANY Microsoft owned website. PR, hurrrrrrrr

Way to -blam!- with Bungie's (and yet another new developer's) name again MS! Jealous of Sony's failures now too?

If someone cares enough, you could always sue them for false advertisement:

(scroll all the way down, right before the H2V page link)

Great, now I can be shafted while at work AND in my "free" time ^_^ (for different reasons of course). But no worries, I will forget this whole ordeal for a few days once the beta comes out.

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.

I'm just gonna say that I'm mainly into Halo because of the novels, but it's a d*mn fun game series. I can't play console FPSers for shiznit, plus I do believe it belongs on the PC in the first place, but I don't really care - Microsoft uses it as a tool for selling XBoxes, they know we know it, and most of us have accepted it. I've already gotten used to waiting 2+ years for the PC version of the game. I'm happy it's coming out at all. There was a period of time when I didn't ever think any of them were coming out on PC. And Halo2 being Vista-only kinda sucks, and I feel for people because it's not worth getting a new OS just for this old-*ss game, especially with how much Vista costs. I just got lucky because my friend works for Microsoft so I got Vista from the company store for dirt cheap. I just buy the Halo games on PC to show Microsoft people actually do want it on PC and are buying it, though my measly $50 isn't gonna really send a message, and even if it did I'm sure Microsoft doesn't care.

But anyways, I've had Halo 2 Vista reserved and fully paid for at a local GameStop for months now, and on Sunday evening I saw a news post on the site FiringSquad.com that says Halo 2 Vista was delayed until May 22nd. And so today, at 2:10 pm EST I called the GameStop I had it reserved it, and they said that it is now shipping May 22nd and will be available for pickup May 23rd. I'm not gonna lie, that kinda really pissed me off. Now I don't get bent all outta shape when these kinds of things happen, because it happens so much. But honestly I'm a gamer, and I get excited for games, and one cannot help but feel greatly disappointed when one thinks they are about to bring home a game they waited years for, only to find out it was delayed. Even two weeks hurts when you've been waiting years. An early warning would have softened the blow, last minute surprises suck. So yeah I went about the rest of my day, handling final exams and whatnot, and now I'm just chillin' at home, but still it kinda bothers me. Kinda took me by surprise is all. Though I don't think I should be surprised.

Some of you get on our cases because we get upset when a game we've been waiting for gets delayed. Cut us some slack, we are gamers and we look forward to the day when we can play the games we've been waiting for, on our platform of choice. When that day slips away, it can disappoint. It hurts some of us more than others, but I'm sure you can understand how we feel. I just wish we heard about this delay a little earlier on. If I had, I probably wouldn't give a d*mn. It's these last-minute surprises that bother me. Aiight well whatever that's my little rant.

Don't know where my previous post went but Halo 2 for vista will be well worth it. Achievements, a map editor, and the convenience of being able to play Halo 2 with my laptop and not have to have a TV and a 360. All of those make it worth it to me.
