Microsoft had stated that the release date had been pushed back one final time, due to partial nudity found in the Halo 2 Vista Map Editing Kit, making the release date May 31 for the United States. However, the release date had been delayed to because the team needed 'to make some improvements to the install experience and address other technical issues.' However, release dates had been erratic, as Australia had publicly available copies, and some stores in the United States were selling copies as well.
The release date was originally planned for May 8, 2007. Halo 2 Vista is a ported PC version of Halo 2 by Hired Gun for use on the Windows Vista operating system exclusively and as a release title for the 'Games for Windows' category.
