Yeah, I saw that.

Of course it's finished, but I'm pretty sure they still gotta go through all the bugs.

I think they shouldn't wait for that date, just go the second it's done.

They won't release it yet because they still need to do tests.

im not really too bothered, but it would be nice to play it over the summer hols...yes thats right, i have no life and dont get out enough =D

I assume that just because the game is finished doesn't mean that they have all the cases and copies made, which would probably take a fair deal of time.

Of course I could be wrong, so if it is ALL finished than yes they should release it earlier than september.

Actually, I would prefer if they would make it longer and release it in November.

But now it is just fine.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Should they? Yes.
Will they? Hell no.

Bungie has a thing for releasing their Halo games in the fall, and on Tuesdays. They did it with Halo 2, Halo 3, and now ODST and even possibly Reach.
And I'm guessing they want ODST to recreate the release of Halo 3, so they timed it so it was the second to last Tuesday in the month of September.

The release date is fine. Unfortunately a lot of people will not be able to play on the day it's released, but they can wait until the morning.

Finished as in the game is done being made. But they still have to make copies of it, make the boxes, and print the box art.
All of that will take some time. So chill out, their releasing this the smart way.

I would rather have it now, but they're probably bug testing and other stuff so we are going to have to wait.

Guess what? Its not ment for school kids, its rated M for mature, 17+ therefore the majority of the intended audiance wont care what day it comes out on.

If they TARGETED a kids off school release that would suggest that they condone kids playing this game. After its been certified as not acceptable for children.

Oh dang! That man just ordered breakfast in the middle of my rap song!

As long as they spend the extra time ironing out glitches, finding/fixing bugs, and just playtesting it like crazy, I really don't see the need to release it earlier. Plus, they'll sell more if they release closer to the holiday season.

Exactly what I meant.

I just finished watching the video, and it appears that releasing games in september is some form of tradition for Bungie.

Do a BARREL ROWL

i think most games of e3 to be released in 2009 are complete by now, but the development of the game is one of the shortest steps in between conception and release. they need to go through it for bugs a thousand times over, test it with a bunch of different people, and market it to stores and people who would buy it, then package and ship it.

I'm sitting at home all day, starting to get bored of Halo 3 and I need a new game! Why can't they release it sooner! I'M DYING TO PLAY IT! PLEASE RELEASE IT ALREADY! I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER 3 MONTHS! GIVE IT TO ME NOW BUNGIE, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT ANY LONGER! I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT THREE MONTHS FROM NOW BECAUSE I'LL BE DEAD!
Thanks for listening :)

  • 06.12.2009 2:31 PM PDT

I would like it released right now but if waiting gives them time to add more things im all for it. I would wait till December If I had to.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

They really should, but they won't. The game will be too glitchy and everything.
But who knows, they might have a suprise release date on Bungie Day. Now wouldn't that be the best Bungie Day in history??!?!?!??!

Tallahassee?
I spent two weeks in Tallahassee one night.

Tests regardless i think it is ready to ship. However do you know how long it takes to make 1,000,000 copies of a game? I am happy with 9/22/09 however if they moved it up i would not complain.
