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.
C&C3 > H2.

I thought I was the only RTS and C&C fan here =D

Anyway, it looks as though Halo 2 Vista has in fact been delayed (there's a surprise =P). There isn't much we can do about it. Yes it sucks. Yes it was handled extremely poorly by Microsoft. Yes it's dissapointing. Yes.... tomorrow's my last day in the SC Public Education System! -blam!--Yeah!

Cheers.

My problem is not the delay itself, but how the delay was handled.

- We had to be warned of a delay by a -blam!- website that usually doesn't have anything important to show us. Apparently M$ had some issue doing this themselves.
- As previously stated by pretty much everyone, they "announced" it 4 DAYS before the release. Even -blam!- low-end software companies don't do that. -blam!- companies would announce the possibility of a delay at LEAST a week or two ahead of time.
- There's no longer an official release date. What the hell was on the e-mail given out? "lol wi n33d ti3m to f1x ga3m!"?

Basically, all M$ had to do was announce it themselves at LEAST week earlier saying more than "lol d3lai" and I wouldn't be so pissed right now. I have trouble comprehending such irresponsibility from a corporation as large as this.

This sucks that they delayed it without much notice especially after it supposedly went Gold

But they can make it up to us by charging 39.99 to preorder customers =)

relaaax chaps, it wont be long until you get your grubby little mits all over that lovely piece of work, if its delayed its for good reason. Perhaps there was a bug that causes problems it will be worth the wait just like any game your waiting for..."like halo 3"

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.


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.

STFU

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.

A lot of people have said that they think I am complaining about the release date. I'm not complaining about that so much as a couple of days before the thing was supposed to be released they pushed the date. They are a multi-billion dollar corporation; they can hire somebody that can predict this stuff much in advance. That's why I'm mad because they, with all of their knowledge and money, couldn't predict something as stupid as a technical difficulty with the installer.

Wow.
Just wait. Do whatever you have to do and stop complaining.

I know it`s hard and I know we all waited impatiently for May 8th, but -blam!- happens dude.
Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get the -blam!- over it :)

*Crys Odaroo a river. then builds him a bridge. And dosent walk over it.*

This wouldent be such a big deal if they had given us a reason or a Warning. But instead they left us hanging with only the word of a Gaming Mag, three days befor the releas like come on thats crap.

Thank you.

I would completely agree with you Odaroo if it weren't for two things:

1) What MS did is just sloppy
2) As XvXHalo3XvX said, it was short notice and then left us hanging

I expect these things from a screw up third-party manufacturer, not one of the world's largest (if not the largest) software companies.

Oh wow, well, thank you microsoft!

OK, now, I am pissed times about o say infinity.

MS says, "Oh sorry, technical details." They leave us hanging. Release postponed to 22. Then all of a sudden pre-orders are being filled.

WHAT THE -blam!- KIND OF SENSE DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE TO YOU??????

I understand if nobody gets, that's a real issue. But its so obvious that they just didn't ship it now. Those lying corporate bastards!!!!!

If it was a real technical issue would they be shipping anything? I understand that they are pre-orders, but come on, if they can get it why can't we???? Its a CD!! It takes less than a dollar to make!!!

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.

Amen i agree. IT IS JUST A GAME
