Well I don't think it would be an in-game issue as they could easily just patch that. If there are still installation issues that need to be addressed, that's the only reason I can think of that would cause this game to be delayed again.

I got my copy however, and it installed just fine; though I didn't use tray and play. I got a feeling tray and play is probably the problem, because that's where I keep hearing complaints about installation.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

I confirm that Tray & Play is borked. I did exactly that and the game installed without any audio. Any time I wanted to play nothing would come out of my speakers, and it actually messed up my windows audio settings. Also the 360 controller did not work right away, I needed to use the mouse first to get the 360 controller to work properly.

Anyhow, I did uninstall the game and then re-installed using the olkd school method (install and that's it, no T&P) and the game since has been working like a charm. I do have the minor annoyance that I cannot select my custom resolution but heck, the game is quite playable as it is now...

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I had no problems with Tray and Play.

Tray and Play is downright one of the most useless features of nextgen PC gaming. Not only does it push your CPU harder than it should, but lots of stuff, such as sound, multiplayer, etc. gets taken out until the installation's finished. It's just one of them "bonues" to make the game they're trying to sell, more "pleasing" before it is even released.

If ya'll can't wait 10-20 min. for an installation to finish, go get yourself a freakin' console.

lol yeah. They've now delayed the game twice over a feature that lets you play it 15 minutes earlier. something here does not fit.

Nope, there was a recall within the last couple of days. I just a moment ago called the closest circuit city near me (an hour and a half away) and the guy I talked to said that they got a recall order and they had to take all of their copies off the shelf. Hired Gun has seriously dropped the ball (again.)


I just called Circuit City in my area and they have the game in stock. I also called Microsoft and they said it was not recalled.

Hmm....Not a single store near me has it. It may just be certain shipments that have the problem.

The recall rumor is bogus. I just got back from Circuit City with my copy. They were being held in the back, and when I asked for it they went and got it for me. I asked the manager to check the system is their was a recall on this game, and he checked the system right there in front of me with no mention of any of this BS some of you are starting. The Circuit City in Staten Island NYC had 8 others being put on the shelf after I purchased mine.

Installed the game fine with no errors. Game looks to be alot of fun. I don't understand what some of you are complaining about with the graphics. I think they look much better than H1 pc (I never played the XBOX version). I'm enjoying my experience so far.

Same here, plays while it installs, kicks the halo2 xboxs graphics and no problems, seems the xbox was not designed to cop the graphics that bungie had designed halo2 with, all and all, this one kicks ass.

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

What is with all the complainers lately anyway?
