Halo 2 (Windows Vista): Difference between revisions

Line 9:

One of the selling points of Halo 2 Vista is an included map editor. It will include the same programs as previously used in the [[Halo Editing Kit]] (HEK). These programs are Guerilla, Sapien and Tool. The full extent of the map editor's capabilities have not yet been made available.

The release date was originally planned for May 8th, 2007. The release date has been delayed for May 22, 2007 (May 29, 2007 in Australia) because the team needs "to make some improvements to the install experience and address other technical issues.".

However, release dates have been erratic, as Australia has publicly available copies, and some stores in the United States are selling copies, as well. No official word has come from Bungie, Microsoft, or Hired Gun regarding the release date.

A new ability pushed by the Microsoft team is a feature called "Tray and Play". It is an attempt to emulate the ability of consoles to instantly play new discs in a DVD Drive without installing them. It allows the end-user to play the game as it is installing.
