Yeah, I'm here to -blam!- about the lack of updates on Halo 2 Vista, but I'm here more for the discussion of why there has been a lack of updates. Oh, and please don't use the excuse of "they're working really hard on Halo 3!" They have another developing teams for God's sakes. It also doesn't take 50 guys to report on the progress of the game as well. Vista comes out in four days and we don't even have an official projected release date. Hell, we don't even have an official projection, hardware requirement, new screenshots, or any news on this whole "Live Anywhere" thing. So what gives? What do you think about this? Do you think they are over-compensating, knowing that the next update on Halo 2 Vista will leave many mad, like the last real update did? Or are you like the hive mind and actually think they are "too busy working on Halo 3?"

I mean, I wouldn't be as pissed if they at least mentioned the damn game, like at the end of the update they just add a little quip like, "Oh, and we're working hard on getting Halo 2 Vista to you as well." At least THEN I would know that the game is on their mind. I mean, the Halo 2 Vista page hasn't been updated in months on their site and all they do is avoid the topic altogether. Hell, other gaming websites have told us more about the game then Bungie has itself. What is the real deal with this?

I have a bad feeling that Halo 2 Vista will be another port that Bungie craps out and then stops supporting. With as popular as Halo 3 will be, H2V probably isn't very high on Bungie's to-do list.


I also share this fear.

I think you should settle down and stop making threads demanding for an update. They'll give us an update when they give us an update. Giving yourselves conniption fits isn't going to make them do it any faster.

Okay, there won't as too much differences between the xbox version and this port. If you're really in need of an update, go check Halo 2 xbox's news.

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

I doubt Bungie will be allowed by MS to crap out on H2V seeing as it is a launch title for Live Anywhere.

Bungie's too lazy to work on it because it's already selling out the ass on Xbox, and seeing as how they don't care about their PC consumers at all, they enlist Gearbox to do a port which will see frequent patches for a year and a half and then never be updated again, despite multiple hacks, cheats, and shoddy coding. The end.

Can I borrow your time machine? I'd like to go forward to see which stocks I should buy up now. Then I'd like to go back and buy a '68 Charger back when they cost only $3,000 new.

saying bungie is too lazy/working on h3 doesn't really apply, as there are separate teams for separate projects, that's just how (most) game developers work.

What will knowing a release date or tech specs do for you? Nothing. If they haven't given an update, there probably isn't anything to update on. Impatience will get you nothing.

You know what I think? I think Bungie Studios is full of childish, 40 year old console-fanboys.

What will a release date or tech specs do for me? A lot.

Let's say I want to build a new Vista computer, but don't want to until Halo 2 Vista is out... By giving me a release date, and tech specs, I know what hardware I should put into my new machine, and when to build it all by...

And please don't tell me there isn't anything to update on...

-Release date
-Beta
-Server list
-Demo
-Live Anywhere Gold
-Live Anywhere Silver
-Live Anywhere Trial/Demo
-How we're going to get custom maps
-Benchmarks
-Cost
-Digital Distributation? (ie Steam, Triton etc)
-System Requirements
-Screenshots
-Autoaim
-Map Editor
-Map Editor Beta
-H2V & Vista bundle?

And I'm sure there's more I can't think of...

Maybe, if we got an update, we'd know for sure it would be out "soon", as you say.
