Instead of doing this and giving yourself an ulcer, why don't you take a deep breath, play something else for a while and be happy? Or dare I say it... Go outside and see what a beautiful world it is?

I'd rather see them push it back a couple of weeks than release it on time with a bad install system or game bugs.

That's true...and not true. It has definitely been delayed for 1 year and who knows. They may decide to delay it even more should the need to do so arises.

Yeah...no surprise there.

It's obvious that they don't want to risk it and loose a lot of fans with this game. Probably they are fixing some final bugs. Minor ones if they said just 2 weeks,

Too bad i don't have Vista.

Who cares if it is delayed?

 The game is old and not worth the hard drive space.

They are improving certain things (Graphics?), Boy_Make_Fire, and also porting it to PC, whilst enabling it for Cross-Platform multiplayer. Well, at least when GfW-Live comes out. Hard? Probably.

Releasing a dated crappy console game to a market that there are available much better FPS  and making  it vista-exclusive for what?

I can understand getting a pirated copy of the game just out of curiosity, but whoever actually pays money for this piece of garbage is a f*cking retard

don't get your hopes up.  halo 1 for the pc was so poorly optimized when it came out, everyone hated it.  I had the fastest PC you could get at the time, could play every game, but halo1 was like a slideshow in action.

Well,  besides more people has Vista than Xbox + Xbox 360+ PS + PS2 + PS3 + Wii      *combined*, you are right.

Of course there are more XP's out there, but 20.000.000 in the first month leads me to think that at leat 30.000.000 copies are out there right now.

Most analysts think that at least 100.000.000 will be sold (mostly by preload) during 2007.

   Why should it even matter, the people who wanted to play this already over-rated and mediocre FPS (when compared to the PC shooter base of games) have already played it to its fullest years ago.

It's obvious their tweaking their pathetic copy protection. What else could they do in 2 or 3 weeks, their not gonna magically add better graphics or new levels. Since it's their first "Live" game loaded with protection which is gonna be cracked anyway leads me to think whats the point of even trying.

I already have it and beat it for xbox. Why buy an exact copy of it? So I can make my own maps? Anyways, I would have to pay $100 to get vista to play the game in the first place.

It only exists so MS can try to pick up some steam for Vista anyway. Almost every PC gamer has probably played the game through on an xbox, and the pc version is 100% the same. Buying it for the PC is a waste of money and time when you could be getting games with better graphics and new content that don't require you to be Microsoft's b**** to play.

It's ironic that I say this because hating MS is such an overdone topic on this forum, but whatever, that's my opinion.

There is NO cross-platform play EVER for Halo 2.

Your post says more then enough. 

There is no point even arguing with you. I for one am going to enjoy playing Halo 2 at 1920x1200 with maxed settings.

You have to be kidding. Considering how POORLY unoptimized the first Halo game was, I imagine this one will be more of the same. So dont expect to have max settings.

I didn't read anything any of you said, but I will still viciously input.. Good! I'm not looking forward to this game at all so I don't mind them pushing it back, and maybe the extra time will have them pop out with an actually optimized and enjoyable game.. And maybe it'll get good ratings, and maybe eventually I'll get it and enjoy it! :p
