It has been reported that HALO 2 (PC) has been delayed (I’m not expecting to get my copy tomorrow). It was originally due out May 8th but now no official release date has been given. It was rumored that there are serious problems with Games for Windows - Live and that is the cause for the delay. I suspect that to be untrue. In fact, we can see that Games for Windows - Live is working (and can read that Microsoft has mentioned other issues as to the cause for the delay for HALO 2 (PC). But GFW - Live is working. Proof?
Check out gamertag “The Todd“. When he wasn’t getting owned he found time to unlock Shadowrun cross-platform achievements (he did it on May 4th). Three of his recently unlocked achievements are:
- Play Public Match with players on both XBox 360 and Windows Vista.
- Play Public Match in a Party with players on both XBox 360 and Windows Vista.
- Performed a cross-platform Resurrection.
There. Proof that Games for Windows - Live is working. Proof that cross-platform play is working.
By the way, how do you like his new Shadowrun gamerpic?

Games for Windows LIVE is working fine. The Halo 2 Vista team have been an enormous help to Shadowrun - especially recently. They rock, and they’ve done a great game. I would expect them to be on the shelves pretty soon.
We might have some interesting news on Wednesday.

Does anybody else find the reference to “The Todd” quite hilarious: my favorite character from Scrubs.
Thanks for the info Kimona. I know I’m not the only one lately who’s been rebuilding their PCs in anticipation for these two releases.
So little time.. so many cool things coming up.
nice photoshopping
