Halo 2 has been delayed due to problems with the 'Tray and Play' installation method.

You may re-reading that headline and asking yourselves "Halo 2? Isn't that out on PC yet?"

To which we answer; "No. No, it isn't. Now stop talking in italics."

Halo 2, the much anticipated sequel to the original Xbox best-seller, has been delayed again. Falling back from its planned release date of May 8, i.e. Yesterday, because of technical issues the game is now set to stomp on to the PC later this month on May 22.

Microsoft is remaining pretty tight-lipped about the exact reasons why the Vista only title has been delayed, but we know it's something to do with game installation issues.

Reportedly the game has a unique installation process that allows players to play the game at the same time as installing it in a cool new feature called 'Tray and Play'.

We're not sure how that will work, but it's obviously going to be handy for those who want to play a three year old, Vista exclusive console port as soon as humanly possible.

Upgrading to Vista for Master Chief, or shunning Master Chief because of Vista? Let us know what you think in the forums.
