Okay so I was really looking forward to this game for a couple reasons. But WHY is it so hard to find any information about this game??? Bungie doesn't have anything on this website about Halo 2 Vista really. I understand that Hired Guns has made this game but don't you think that they would still help their little baby through puberty to the PC. Apparently not. Bungie, I know you are busy on Halo 3 Beta, but could you please give us an update about what is happening??? You know something official!!!

Bungie stated soon after H2V was announced that they have little hand in making the game, and they won't be making many (if any) of the anouncements on it.

Unfortunately, this is what happens when you try to port a game and only have 5 people on your staff.

I have an idea.......


DON"T BUY THE GOD DAMN GAME!

or, if you already bought it, pack it up in the box all neat and tidy and send it back. Make this the biggest lost Microsoft has ever taken on a game (even though they really didn't put any resources into it) and maybe we gan get somebody to understand that we're not going to stand for this -blam!-.

I think immediately after Halo 3 is released the Bungie team should work on making the pc version of the game. By then Vista should have mature drivers and with Bungie's staff we might see cross platform play. And since Bungie would make it than you know it won't be a piece of flaming poo poo. With such a huge Xbox series the PC versions need some attention too. That means more than 5 people on the development team Microsoft!!!

THAT would sell Vista like hotcakes to home users. It would launch the OS in to massive demand for Gamers, which is a very large market.

Of course, it will never happen.

Ah, for once, someone demands (not sure if I should use "demand" though) H3 for PC, with legitimate reasons! =D

my guess is that, hired gun screwed up, BIG TIME, and so they are tying to cover it up and not release any info until the game is officially release with not bugs or problems.

Guys, remember when we invaded the Septagon because we were tired of Bungie's silent treatment?

Where ever the hell Hired Gun hangs out in, let's raid the crap out of 'em. Maybe they'll actually listen.

Hired Gun has no website, forum, e-mail address or basically any way to contact them. All they've got is a blog over at IGN that was last updated a few months ago. It's a rather brilliant strategy, actually. Whenever someone blames MS, they blame Bungie. Whenever someone blames Bungie, they blame Hired Gun. And whenever someone blames Hired Gun, they're unavailable for comment.


Edit: Crapzors, I forgot how to make standard url tags.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

or, if you already bought it, pack it up in the box all neat and tidy and send it back. Make this the biggest lost Microsoft has ever taken on a game (even though they really didn't put any resources into it) and maybe we gan get somebody to understand that we're not going to stand for this -blam!-.


Exactly. This was a huge rip-off and cheat towards the PC community. I'm standing with you. I urge you all to refuse buying the game until we get information. We have no way of contacting HG, and Bungie refuses to comment.

We were promised a vastly improved game and editor for May 8th. Instead, we received utter crap. They pushed back the game to the 22nd to fix "problems". They didn't even bother telling us of a delay until May 8th. It's the 23rd, and the only place that even has the game is Circuit City. We got a sub-par map editor that can't do -blam!-. The game was out one day and already needed a patch (which broke the game). Now, they issued a recall.

To summarize, Hired Gun spent a long time doing absolutely nothing. They didn't even fix the widely known button glitches from the original. The port is crap. If nobody cares enough to give us an explanation, we shouldn't care enough to buy the game.

LONG LIVE THE MAW!
