You know considering this came out early for aussie we might see it on shelves tommorow, the US is still a guess considering no official news from MS or hired gun. Most stores get shipments in on friday anyways and Best buy and Circuit City have all told me to call on those days that it could could anytime on those days considering there 22nd wasnt official.

Just picked it up from my local EB games store, Brisbane Australia.

I got told Australia wouldn't get it till the 29th, but I guess xmas came early!!

I am currently installing it right now, not much is different from the other PC version, a few control changes from HALO1PC such as duel-wielding - hold q to duel wield and press q to drop while duel-wielding etc. etc.

Perhaps U.S might get it tomorrow? If not I guess it'll be us Aussie's battlin it out for the next few days.

Do any AUssies know if EB was allowed to do this? or did they break a rule?

  • 05.18.2007 12:01 AM PDT

Does the Live work as in you can play online or is live not up for multiplayer yet?

I just went on LIVE then, a few dedicated servers were up, I guess they are Microsofts/Bungies. I was the only one on Live, so I joined a game and mucked around a bit, trying to get the graphics settings right. I have 1gb RAM, dual core processor and a 256 GeFore 7400 Go and it's running a bit dodge on low everything, I'm going to restart my computer see if I can tweak it a bit.

Oh ya, very important question! I was reading a game review for halo 2 pc and it said there was co-op, is it true and if so is it online or lan or both!?

Lol dude as much as i would like that i don't have Vista yet! I wasn't expecting to get it today becuase EB told me 29th May, so i figured it'll give me time to upgrade my PC and Vista. Plus i got Uni exams comming up so there ain't gonna be any gaming for me. Sorry dude. My gamertag is "CheytacSpartan".I'll be online by the 15th June cause thats my final exam. Whats ur gamertag?

It kicks arse that Aussies are finally given a break, but i think this is a mistake on EBs behalf. Oh well thats their problem i guess

Hey by the way how did you register your gamertag for Halo 2? Did u do it through the game or on the net?

Cheers mate

Yeah, this is the part right here that just puts Bungie/Microsoft/Hired Gun lower on the list of companies I trust/believe that they do things for the fans. They're getting awfully close to Blizzard, and Blizzard is at the very bottom.

Congrats on your copy, but this is absolute bull. We still don't even have an official confirmation or news story from a blog from Hired Gun, Bungie hasn't mentioned H2V in nearly four months, and the worst part of it all is that we get our information first from discredited gaming sites and then another two or three weeks later the big dogs finally take those stories as their own. Over all, this is probably the worst port follow up story given by a game developer, or their hired lackey for that matter. My favorite part of this whole thing is how Bungie claims that they can't post any H2V news because "they're not involved in it," but they've gone and done top news stories about Shadowrun and the new Halo book. Hell, they even had a countdown to the Halo 3 Beta; forget the fact that H2V is supposed to be coming out in 4 days. Seeing as how the hired lackey can't even take the damn time to post blogs about their finished product, I've been sealed then on this product. You guessed it; I'm not buying it. After all, Halo 2 Vista was the only reason why I was going to upgrade to Vista, but I've been holding off on that, considering the numerous reports of tons of crap not working on the new OS. I guess I will continue with that theory until many Vista updates later.

Why don´t you -blam!- bungie and the other -blam!-s and make a torrent and upload it?
Then they can feel the retaliation when they don´t care about the pc users anymore..
Get even - make torrents and lots of them of all their games *looool*
