I'm from the U.K but I live in new york, so ill be playing 2 days early. I expect big competion between uk and us clans, big time. I can't wait to see who is better, uk boys or the us dudes. I think this a little unfair with the stats though, us people who get the game first will be playing for hours getting mad stats, they reset the stats after uk's release.

anayway who cares this games gunna rule anyway, laters boys.


what about the rest of the world? earth isnt just america and britain you know

I think that everyone is missing the most important thing in this article. At the end it says there will be halo2 GAME REPLAYS! You can watch your games after you play them!!!! It is almost too good to be true. Does anyone know if this feature is really in the game?

Yeh i posted that along with my first post but noone seemed to take notice. It will be great if it has been added and you might be able to share them with friends over Live

It was expected though....nearly all games in the UK are released on Thursdays. Its the customary day when its done. It did seem odd at the time when the 9th was announced and it was a Tuesday. Not sure if Tuesday is the normal day in the US for releases or not (heck I don't live there). A simultanious worldwide release would of been fair yes, but also a logistical major pain in the backside, and one which I am sure would have caused problems elsewhere. Yes its a major shame we have to wait 2 more days, and listen to all those on the otherside of the Atlantic blow all the story elements for us, but as long as we avoid them that week, we should be ok. No pain in waiting, just be happy you aint waiting for Duke Nukem4ever :P

In response to Nyadach all CDs/DVDs/and Games are usually released on Tuesdays in the US, have no idea why, but being as you say its Thurs. in Britian might be some reason for your guys delay...
O and "Canadians are tight with the Brits", psshht... try replacing "tight" with "whipped by"...
j/p j/p... I joke because I love...

  • 07.14.2004 7:44 PM PDT

We also get games on Fridays, so it doesn't really work. And CDs/DVDs on Monday for some reason.

Everything should be released on a Monday in the UK, but unfortunately that's not the case.But even if this was the case, rather than get it a day earlier than the US, it seems that Microsoft would only make us wait 6 more days. It's annoying to think about.

True.
Canadia was owned by Britian for a long time after the U.S. "gained" independance.

But what REALLY bugs me is that there was never any story on the main page about this. I mean the only way i found out was when i was just looking around on Amazon.co.uk at their new page about the Limited Edition version and i noticed it was the 11/11 not 9/11. i thought originally that this was only for the LE version but then i checked on the normal version and it said the same. I really wish Bungie hadn't said it would be 9/11 for everyone and i wish the would update their FAQ as it still says It's official! Halo 2 will be released in the U.S. and Europe on November 9th, 2004. Halo 2 should be available very soon after in other markets but exact dates are TBD.

WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON?

arrrgggggg ok ill say this once !! :)

you will only get this game 1/2 days early at best !!

i work for GAME and one of the reasons why the game has gone back is to avoid it getting released before it should

therefore we wont even recieve it till the last minute

Are the words "Game Replays" invisible to you all cause that would be sweet........plus it will keep this thread going and stop the occasional country wars.....

Oh and also the release date for games in the UK should be a Friday as it is the end of the working/school week so it gives us the weekend to enjoy the games.....well thats my view
