(RUMOR) - Microsoft Unhappy With Halo 2 Multiplay
Here’s the rumors: - The game is being delayed mainly because MS isn’t happy with the MP/online gameplay. (I mentioned that before.) From the way he talked, one of the issues that had to be dealt with was lag time. I’m sure that’s not the only issue with the online play though. - The game will most likely not make it to the shelves until the fall. - They recently added 5 new levels to the game. He didn’t say if these are soley MP levels/maps or if they are integrated into the single player game and story. GamePaused.com It could be a forum member shooting off his mouth, but somehow, even if the source turns out to be faked, I wouldn’t be surprised if MS really wasn’t pleased with Online Play and that’s what’s causing the delay. Remember, the original Halo team hasn’t done anything truely online yet, the PC version was ported by Gearbox and the original Halo only included system linking.Source: http://www.gamepaused.com/
