Halo 2 Release Date Slips?

Posted by simoniker on from the now-slightly-askew dept.

George Bailey writes "Forbes.com/Reuters has posted an interview with Microsoft's Chief Xbox Officer Robbie Bach, who provided some vague hints in regards to the launch of flagship Xbox FPS sequel, Halo 2. In his own words: 'We're going to ship it when it's ready...That might be the first half of 2004, it might not. You have to be careful with franchises like this.' The current projected release date is, or was, April 1st 2004, according to game retailers." Update: 01/11 07:46 GMT by S : Several commenters point out that 'slipped' is in the eye of the beholder: "What I get from Mr. Bach is that they don't have a firm release date at all - hell, they've probably never had one at all - and they're avoiding a firm commitment to consumers on the issue."

  1. Bah, they should've just kept the April 1st date by Rayonic · · Score: 4, Funny

    And yelled out "April Fools!" to all the people trying to pick it up that day. I'm sure everyone would get a kick out of it.

  2. April 1st huh? by exick · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah, I heard that was the release date for DNF too. And it's also the day that Infinium's Phantom service goes live. Wow, what a big day for gamers.

    I should go check if Gravy Trader is out yet.
