First of all I know that your only supposed to trust release dates from Bungie, but in looking for a exact release date I was only able to find release dates from eb games and gamestop that had it for release on 9/1/2004. I'm pissed because we al loyal fan deserve a release date witch would be a couple of numbers that usually show the month/day/year, all we as loyal fans have receive is a time of year or the season the game is coming out, that pisses me off alot. I have a game reserve from 12-29-02 the paper is starting to yellow and Museums are calling me to display it. I want to know why we where lyed too, why not just say you still don't know yourselves instead of just saying it's coming out in the fall of 2004, that is a release season not a date. I am really waiting for this game in fact I have a two week vacation planned that I might have to cancel if the game doen't go gold atleast a week before the release date given by ebgames. Know matter how pissed of I sound in this message I still will be buying 4 copies when it comes out if it ever does but would be really happy if Bungie stops acting like Condoleeza Rice or George W. Bush at a Senate hearing.
Please if not a release date just give use the month it is coming out I would be pleased with that.

The thing is, they don't even know, they are working on it and "it will be done when it's done"

I'm hating it too. I red that Halo II was going to be released on December 2003... But that never happend. I hope we dont have to wait for too long. People in Norway (where I live) are starting to hate xbox because of all the bad games :(
We need Halo II now!

You should read this rant by Matt to see why Bungie don't give release dates anymore.

that's because someone else made up the date, bungie never said anything about a date until the fall 2004 one.

  • 04.15.2004 9:24 AM PDT

Bungie has always stood by their, "When it's done" release date policy. Everything else you have heard is just speculation. I don't care if EB games says its coming out tommorow, or never, they know just as much about the release date as you do... nothing, except it will be sometime in the fall. Don't listen to store managers when they tell you a release date, I had some guy try and tell me it was April 1st and I just laughed at him because he was trying to get me to reserve it at his store.

There is no release date until Bungie feels 100% sure they can meet it, right now, it's Fall.

How did Bungie lie? Not giving any information is not the same as lying. This is not a political forum, please leave your politics out.

September first, the first day of fall. Gamespy wants you to think that Halo 2 is coming out a early as possible- for marketing reasons, of course.

I'm pissed because we al loyal fan deserve a release date witch would be a couple of numbers that usually show the month/day/year, all we as loyal fans have receive is a time of year or the season the game is coming out, that pisses me off alot. I have a game reserve from 12-29-02 the paper is starting to yellow and Museums are calling me to display it.

Fact is, bungie said Fall because they aren't sure when Halo 2 will come out this fall. They DON'T KNOW when yet, it's too early to tell.

I want to know why we where lyed too, why not just say you still don't know yourselves instead of just saying it's coming out in the fall of 2004, that is a release season not a date. I am really waiting for this game in fact I have a two week vacation planned that I might have to cancel if the game doen't go gold atleast a week before the release date given by ebgames.

That's what happens when you beleive ebgames instead of Bungie, my friend. Halo 2 may very well come out Sept. first, but I doubt it.

Know matter how pissed of I sound in this message I still will be buying 4 copies when it comes out if it ever does but would be really happy if you guys stop acting like Condoleeza Rice or George W. Bush at a Senate hearing.
Please if not a release date just give use the month it is coming out I would be pleased with that.


First of all, keep politics out of this forum. If you want to talk politics, go elsewhere. Once again, Bungie (get ready) doesn’t know what time in fall Halo 2 will come out in. They just don't know yet.

Everyone feels your pain ATIBA420. But don't sound so demanding, dude. What if because of that, they decided to post pone yet again!? I too would like to see a concrete release date. But I would be polite in asking.

ALL OF YOU ARE MISSING MY POINT THEY SAID ,"WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE",THEN THEY SAID,"FALL 2004". If Bungie said what most of you are saying I would be happy but they didn't.

Bungie actually said they had a date? I doubt that. They never... EVER announce release dates. If you expected any different that's due to a misunderstanding on your part.
