Hey guys! I have just beaten ledgendary on Halo 2. Let me tell you, this has to be atleast 10x's harder than Halo 1's ledgendary setting. At the end however there is a date that pops up, "February 9th" any idea what this could mean? Anybody think bugie hid the fact that they created Halo 3 while they made Halo 2? Think about it, most of the demos and trailers included senarios that we didnt not get to play in Halo 2, such as when you get to drive the Warthog around the city and end near the group of elites. However it could be way to soon to do this, maybe on this day they will release info about Halo 3, because there most defintaly has to be on. Leave me some feedback on what you think!

some have suggested that Halo 3 might come out on xbox 2 which seems saddly possible and even probable when you realise xbox 2 has hinted at a possible release of jan 2005.
This may not be in time for xmas but feb 9 could just be an announcement for halo 3
sigh. That would right piss me off. wait 3 years for halo 2 then you have to spend $500 on a new system to get the full game Arggggggg. but i hope not

I'll say it again

HALO 3 aint comin on feb 9th cuz:
1. Gaming industry is for money- why would they release a big $$$ game with 0 advertizing and hype. Sure people who beat the game on legendary will-- but thats not the mainstream target gamer.

^One reason that is sufficient^

They still have hype from Halo2. They'll revamp Hype over Christmas, get kids wetting their pants, and make another $125 mil.

Yeah you have a point there, i think they will give it atleast a year before they launch halo 3, it would be odd to do it without notice, but i think everyone who bought hal o2 would jump right on halo 3 to continue the story. None the less i think somthing will happen feb 9th either with halo or maybe the new xbox.

Bungie doesn't need hype at this point, they could just suddenly say that Halo 3 Is out tomorrow, and everyone will marathon (no pun intended) stampede to the stores, I bet people would die in the process too.

Not true! The mainstream gamer is the target here- halo 2, without all the advertizments and promotions, would not have been nearly as succesful in sales. I've seen this thing happen before in the industry ( I have credibility- if you want it PM me ). It would not have the good launch, it would take time for word of mouth to make its rounds. And what if the word of mouth was all -blam!-ing (like ppl -blam!- about halo 2). Do you think anyone would buy a game that their buddy said sucked ass?

Well it would be kinda smart to bring it out now while people are pissed off about the ending and need to see what happens. People will sometimes stop carring about what happens next if you have to wait to long to see. Though they stil wouldn't make nearly as much money bringing it out now than if they brought it out a year or two from now. I think february 9th is probably the first download content.

Ok, if anything comes out about Halo 3 it will just be an announcement. Bungie is definitly going to ride the Halo 2 wave for a while, and I assume at least a year and a half before any new games are released. Halo 3 will be on Xbox 2 anyway, which is probably fairly far off. So my bet for Feb. 9th is either some crazy ending changer or a Halo 3 production announcement

For those who have already seen the bonus disc (Collectors edition) They said the levels that they showed in the 8 minute E3 demo, where MC is going around the city was simply a demo for them to show you the capablities that you could do in halo 2, thus, they said they didnt want to spoil any content by showing actual levels in halo 2. I suppose, however, that after they said they could not put the atv in there because of hardware problems, was a lie, because there is no way that they couldnt have processed that information if they made it move and work right in front of you. I suspect, that the date for Feb.. wutever is an announcment trailer, and the moves such as 3 melee hit combo, sprinting, peeking behind corners, and others willl return in h3 since Microsoft purged Bungie into not taking any longer on halo 2. I think the reason why most people were a little disappointed in halo 2 was that Bungie might have had to start over and making an ending to go on towards sequal 3, since Microsoft didnt allow them to have another release date after november 9th. Yeah...

Well I'm not saying that i think halo 3 is coming out on Feb. 9th but for those of you who think it's not gonna get hype if they don't anounce it yet, What is happening right now. We are all talking about what might be happening on feb 9th. I've told friends about the feb. 9th thing in the announcement and I'm sure other people have too.

I would be fully satisfied with a Halo 3 announcement -- certainly Halo 3 will not be released until the launch of Xbox 2 at earliest (and that's only if Halo 3's development has been done in conjunction with that of Halo 2, or perhaps even by another MGS dev house).

I highly doubt they'll release new campaign content for Halo 2 -- it would make a lot of fans w/o Xbox live very mad (even though I have XBL and would love it).

I hate to add fuel to the proverbial fire, but here's a snippet of a comment made by Steve Ballmer at the unveiling of MS Office 2003 from October 2003:
"We're working on the next version -- I hate to tell you this confidentially but I'll have to swear you to secrecy now -- we're working on the next version of Xbox right now and we're working on Halo 2 and Halo 3, the two newest versions of the game."

So perhaps Bungie did indeed pull a Matrix (although Halo and its sequel are excellent unlike the aforementioned trilogy) -- which would be pretty sweet.

In that http address I typed, for some reason I couldnt get rid of the space at the end between the 'a' and the 'sp' so make sure to delete that space to see the page.

i can see it now, 1 week before feb 9th next year everything stops as you see these big massive black posters all around the place with Halo 3: End game.... that would make any halo fanatic wet themselves

I agree with the guy who said that if they announce it tommorrow everyone would rush out and get it no matter what. Thered be the unlucky ones whod prolly come out in body bags instead of shopping bags but thats a sacrifice bungiez willing to take. As far as the feb 9th date. I havent beaten the game on legendary yet to know if its true or not. But i say congrats to the who did. Youre a true gamer my friend. Keep on Truckin.

It doesn't necessarily have to DLC. It could be a second disk or something of the like, highly doubtful, but the possibility is there.

Even though it would bring unbelivable joy to every one if halo 3 came out feb. 9th. I highly doubt that it will. Although i do believe it will come out sooner than most expect. I also think Halo 3 would do fine in sales if it came out in feb. I can't imagine anyone who loves halo either 1 or 2 that wouldn't buy the third. If they deny they would they are lying or just haters.

I do believe something will happen on Feb 9. Although i havent seen this date on the game yet b/c i am currently trying to beat all the levels on legendary which i am sure most of you know is pretty damn hard. It would be great though if some one could post a picture of their screen actually showing the date. Back to the point i believe that it would be more likely that bungie will probally just realease extra multiplayer maps or announce the release date of XBOX NEXT with footage of halo 3. The truth is no one knows for sure and only time will tell. All we can do is just wait, and considering the amount of time i waited for halo 2 to come out i think i can deal with waiting till feb 9th standing on my head no matter what happens that day. Besides i have halo 2 to pass the time!

I take it you lot haven't heard then?

Bungie have confirmed that this Feb 9th thing is a hoax. It doesn't happen. Anyone who says they've completed legendary and it says this are lying.

Funny how we've seen no screen shot eh?

Damn, you're right. You forgot some things though:

We'll show you a capability inside the Office System today that delivers on what we call Information Rights Management. We're working on the next version -- I hate to tell you this confidentially but I'll have to swear you to secrecy now -- we're working on the next version of Xbox right now and we're working on Halo 2 and Halo 3, the two newest versions of the game.

Now, the plan for those things are super, super secret, top secret type stuff. I mean, they really are, in fact, because if you take a look at our competition with Sony it's a big chess game -- who's going to do what. And the team said, 'Look, we want to send out the documents about this, but we really only want them to go to very few people.' They sent those documents and the e-mail around that protected with Information Rights Management. I got the document. I couldn't print it. I was not allowed. They didn't give me permission to print it. I couldn't Print Screen it. They didn't want to give me permission to do that. I couldn't forward it and when I replied to it, it stripped everything out of the original e-mail so that there was not a trace, not a place for leakage in the system.

You might think they could trust me a little bit more -- (laughter) -- but the fact of the matter is as a guy who sends out mail to our employees and knows that it's immediately going to go to the Wall Street Journal, I can be somewhat sensitive to the notion that says we should be protecting our confidential information; big benefit already captured in the context of our own business.

There you go

I'll bet he doesn't have a link. Hes probably trying to destroy our hopes of halo 3 release or annouce (more likely annouce)
