It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

Taken from halo.bungie.org

We now have an official response from a Microsoft spokesperson:

"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.

Not that it affects me and our 8th June date anyway.

Actually up until now there was no official response from Microsoft.

Okay, how do we even know this is offical/real? I haven't see any press releases and it's blatently not true because the spokesperson said "did not release to retailers on May 22".

If it really didn't get released to retailers, then I wouldn't have a copy right now and the same goes for the hundreds of other people playing it.

If this is somehow true... why? Because I own a copy should I look into exchanging it or is it only for a small, install issue that I never experienced?

This came from Louis Wu himself, who founded and runs Halo.bungie.org, which is the largest halo fan site. He has a reputation to uphold so it's not likely he is going to post a rumor without some sort of proof or verification. He also has a better chance of being in contact with Bungie employees as some of them hang out there and he is friends with many of them. Out of all the rumors and release dates out there I'm inclined to beleive this one.

Exactly Louis isn't going to ruin his reputation by posting false stuff. Anyone who says he would is an idiot.

Learn how not to be an ***.

If anyone doesn't know what Halo.bungie.org is or how to find it then they obviously aren't a true Bungie fan.

Is this why I can't connect to Live or find any games in Halo 2 half the time?

That might be the reason. Sometimes I see games sometimes I don't. My question is how did Cirsuit City get to sell them before?

trust me the delay in europe is a good thing, let the good ol yanks do the beta testing, find all the bugs and tell you what a crap port it is. then you wont have to spend £30 on a crap game. simple.
