I never said that you blamed Bungie for the lack of info, I said that you blamed Bungie for not posting relevant info themselves, and instead relied on third parties (Hired Gun) to do so.

Which was your point, no? That Bungie can't be relied on to post info as it becomes available and that we have to rely on others to get it? And thus why you are willing to trust the GameStop release date, because, as you said, they wouldn't pull a date out of their arse, right?

Well they do, and my whole point is that when relevant info is released by third parties, Bungie does take note and does us the favour of making a news story about it, and certainly something as important as the release date they have thus far not let leak to others before their own annoucement.

And yes, the rest of my post was a general rant and was not related to this topic.

Trust the Bungie, thier only human, but they have thus far not let us down. I mean come on, they could have just lobbed The Maw in with The Libarary, but they didn't, they still care.


I truly understand what you're saying, I do. But I also think that you may be misinterpreting what I said. Even though it may have sounded that way, I really, honestly, was not blaming anyone, specifically Bungie. I was merely stating that Bungie is not responsible for releasing the data themselves, and that MGS Hired Gun is taking care of H2V pretty much by themselves. Hired Gun is doing the port, and, for that reason, are the ones handling the information that is released (I presume...). Bungie is not at fault. No one is. But the fact remains that Bungie isn't "calling the shots" (for lack of a better phrase). So they have instead brought to our knowledge information about the topic through said "3rd party sites," that we can assume is credible because they posted it.

But whatever, I really don't care anymore. I'm probably wrong, you're probably right... w/e. But you can reply to this post but I think this is the last of the exchanges about this specific topic... from me anyway :)

Cheers.

You couldn't be more wrong. It's Bungie's product and Bungie does call the shots, down to what goes onto the CD. After Bungie there's Microsoft that also calls the shots. You're a fool to believe that Bungie/Microsoft would give "Hired Gun" complete rights to Halo 2 and wish them the best in porting it.

So they have instead brought to our knowledge information about the topic through said "3rd party sites," that we can assume is credible because they posted it.
Who posted it? Random Gamespot administrators? You ever notice these so-called "accurate" detailed updates usually start with, "A little birdy told me..." The little birdy will sing if you cajole or bribe it enough, even if it has nothing to give. You honestly think third-party information is accurate and credible? Christ; any journalist would smack you in the face. Oh, and by the way, when do they ever say, "We got this information from Bungie/Microsoft/Hired Gun?"

This is nothing but another person jumping the gun to the slightest whisper of a release date.

If it didn't come from us, it isn't true.

I guess that means all the new updates are a fraud =)

Wow Gamespot got something right

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

Lucky guess, being gamestop they must have had insider info on the release of Live Anywhere, and took the chance that the vague comments on xbox.com concerning H2V as being a "launch title" (those words were not used, it was vague, like I said) were accurate.

Anywho, let the countdown begin!

Don't be an ass. Okay, you were right, we were wrong, and for the way we treated you, I sincerely apologize. However, I don't recall GameSpot mentioning the source when they said Halo 2 was to be released on May 8th--logically we were skeptical. You can't blame us for that. We had every reason to not believe so.

Anyway, now that it has been confirmed by official and more um, trusted sources, let the count down end!

And so after a page of argument, it turns out that Bungie Jumping was right and those of you flamming him were wrong. Microsoft has indeed anounced H2V to be released May 8th, 2007.

Don't be an ass you say? Ha! You, of all people, have no right to tell anyone not to be an ass. But I accept your apology. And the Countdown will not end unless it is done so by a Mod. So come on, don't be an ass...

Cheers.

Wow, so are you done inflating your ego yet? You act like a high school kid who just corrected a teacher. It happens, get over it. You claim the above was not supposed to be disrespectful, but it is soaked with it. Anyone with half a working hemisphere could read that and see that even though you claim to have said it "affably", it doesn't make it true.

Off Topic: Wow dont you just love forums for games? Where everyone has their own opinion and for that people argue about what is true and whats not true and if that opinion is stupid, flame people for acting stupid for a quick moment, lower reputation in a split second on anyone... all until the forum ninja comes and works everything out, wow does that sound like... like ... a 3rd grade class...
Oh dont mind me, just thinking out loud ...

  • 03.14.2007 1:27 PM PDT

What it is.

kinda looks like Bungie Jumping got the last laugh...i was pretty confident in that date, i knew it was unofficial, but it seemed reasonable, and look, it actually is official; w00t!
