There seems to be alot of confusion about the release of H2V, some poeple have it now, many who have it seem to be having problems. Some other people won't be able to get the game for quite a while, personally I have heard dates ranging from yersterday (5/22/07) to June 1st. There have also been rumors of possible recall. I ordered my copy from Amazon and the shipping date has been pushed back to 29th of May. Has anyone heard any official word from hired gun or bugie?

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

Don't expect anything at all from anyone. Hired Gun never updates their blog with current news, and Bungie ignored H2V and, matter of fact, this entire forum.

The only way we will get news is from third parties like IGN and Gamespot.

So basically no one knows anything "definate" and bungie has neglected us?

Now you're getting it. This is how things work for people who play halo on the computer.

I don't blame bungie for "neglecting us". H2V is not their mess. (and I'm sure they're pretty happy about that)

Hired Gun doesn't have the balls to actually say they screwed up.

I honestly don't care if it's screwed up now, as long as they are working on it. Honestly thats all I want. I just want some support.

Sup, I'm (ES)Kenshin, the leader of the (ES)Clan and an admin on the (ES)Clan dedicated server on H2V.
Halo Custom Edition - 1,419 Hours.
Halo 2 Vista - 257 Hours and counting.
Xfire - cmkenshin

i have found nothing wrong with H2V... so i dont really get why there is a delay..

It's a fascinating voyage of pain and despair that leaves you emotionally drained and satisfied, like f­ucking a burning dolphin.

Here is an official response from a Microsoft spokesperson (Quoted from HBO):

"'Halo 2' for Windows Vista did not release to retailers on May 22, as previously announced and will now ship from manufacturers on May 31. "Shadowrun" will be the first game to debut the highly anticipated Games for Windows - LIVE system on May 29. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our customers."

I don't remember any "announcement" that H2V would release on the 23, but it's nice to have someone saying something now.

The game is beautiful, I picked up my copy today at CC, and am enjoying every bit of my time playing. I still need to get used to all the new weapons, maps, and gametypes compared to H1 PC (I never played the Xbox version)

Does it really matter which game comes out first? This is a good game. I was getting very worried reading all these negative posts in here before I picked up the game today, but my experience has been wonderful so far. Quick and easy installation with no errors, and a beautiful looking fun addicting game. I'm begining to think alot of the people bashing this game are just upset, because they haven't been able to pick up their copy yet.

I laugh in their general di-rection.(at MS, that is)

A bunch of people already have the game, and GFWL is already up and runnning, so technically, it has already debuted.

True that. I think everybody's just frustrated by having another delay. I'll admit i've been posting more negatively because of overall frustration.
