Subject: For the people who are confused, the reason Halo 2 Vista was delayed

According to Target, they delayed the game because there was a problem with the Windows Live service. It wasn't working with the whole send friend requests and messages from you PC to Xbox 360 thing. This was all in the email that their store got. The employee I was talking to said they have the games in the back, but Microsoft told them they couldn't release it until they fixed the Windows Live issue. He said the May 22nd is not true, and that they will probably be released on Thursday which is the estimated time they will have Windows Live fixed.

That's what I heard as well. The 22nd was just a placeholder date to tell customers so that we would have a definitive date.

Hmm well now I am seeing stories pop up on Joystiq and Kotaku that it is the 22nd for sure now because some tweaks need to be made to the download process...

My local future shop says they'll have it this thursday. I called them up, the guy looked around for a bit, and came back and said they don't have any in stock now, but they will probably be available thursday. I could hear it in his voice though that they had some in the back, they just weren't allowed to release it :-) :-)

Oh and somebody managed to get a copy:

they said they weren't able to sign in to Live, but otherwise the game worked perfectly. So I think this was purely a server-side issue.

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.

Best Buy said its releasing it tomorrow. (my local store).

Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

Oh boy. We're gonna get all exited all over again for it's release on thursday and the same thing is gonna happen. I am, to some extent, exited for halo 2 vista, but it's a three year old game. What i'm pumped for is quake wars: enemy territory, which is basically BF 2142 with the doom 3 engine, so sweet graphics.

Two words: Hell Yes.

Like halo 1 on the pc it has custom content, which Bungie has promised will be easier to make new maps and such.
Which leaves infinate possibilitys. and with the auto download when picking a game it saves you the trouble of scavenging on the net for it.
You can chose a server instead of randomn gaming. Oh and also better graphics than the xbox version.
