Lately there has been nothing new and interesting to talk about when it comes to Halo 2! I think it is because Bungie is holding too much back! All they have been releasing recently is Multi-Player screen shots and the Bungie Weekly Update! Which is interesting but, at the same time annoying! Because every time something gets really interesting, it comes up as CENSORED! I know they don't want to spoil the game. And they are currently working on the best game ever. But we fans have been waiting a long time and need some more input. I hope this becomes a popular topic so bungie might hear the cry of their fans and show a little gratitude!

I am getting bored of the threads also. I'm bored of Halo, and currently I'm re-reading the books. I hope they release new pictures soon.

"A little gratitude?" Excuse me?

What does Bungie owe you? I don't recall ever reading about Bungie signing any contract that forces them to disseminate information simply because you're impatient.

Bungie will release information when Bungie is ready to release information. This has been the way of things since long before you were a Bungie fan. You will continue to live, even if Bungie doesn't release even so much as another screenshot until November. Please, don't act so selfish.

Post snipped by moderator.

Moderator's note: If you don't like Bungie, why do you post to their forums?

Bungie is doing us a favor (excluding the fact that they are making the best game). But keeping it secret will only add to the surprise and excitement when the game finally ships (which is a good thing).

we should be showing bungie a little gratitude by not asking for more pics. and stuff, and mailing them some money for making great games.

i hear the pitter patter of ninja's outside your door LEAGEND.

Shiska's right guys - bungie dont owe us squat! WE OWE THEM!!!

think of how many hours of fragfesting and stupendous fun bungie has given you?!

Also, they are working their arses off around the clock to make this game THE BEST THEY CAN! which goes much further than some game companies that would rather profit and cash in on a sequel than bust their balls like bungie has.

I wont lie to you, I, (at the best of times) am dying for more halo 2 information, just anything would do to kill the time in between now and nov 9th. but its bungie's call.

Bungie holding too much back!!! < that is a statement of personal opinion! If you don't agree then fine. But I have been a fan longer then you think Shishka! I have been playing Marathon for the mac since it first came out! And have played every game made by Bungie! I am a big fan of the company. But its hard to stay patient after a few years of waiting! And I understand you are probably getting paid to say what you say! Because I know you would like to know more yourself! Unless you are on the inside and already know way more then we do so you can be content! Bungie is holding too much back if you ask me! Your opinion is they don't have to release anything! So I think More compared to nothing is way better! So I think your opinion sucks!

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I'll agree, but I know that just because I want something to happen, doesn't make it certain.

And I think you're whiny. And if you could wait through Halo, you can wait for Halo 2. Halo took 4 years of development and some weren't even sure for a while if it was even ever going to be released after the acquisition.

I don't get paid a dime for being a moderator, it's entirely a volunteer job. You're welcome to think anything you want of me and my opinion, but it's not going to change much of anything. Of course I want to know more about the game. I'd kill to be on the beta test. Do I get these luxuries? No. Do I think crying about it will get me anything? Absolutely not. Am I going to be playing the game in November? Hell yes. So I can wait.

if you think about it bungie could tell us nothing at all.. would that be better?

i think what they are doing is just fine.. its no fun having everything handed to us on a silver platter

Ok I think the only way to settle this is the weekend Halo 2 is released! You and I have to play a one on one slayer match! Because I don't mind people disagreeing with my opinions! That is other people except you! Because you really get on my nerves!

So if it is the first I don't know. But I challenge you to a slayer match when Halo 2 is FINALLY released!

And bungie can do whatever they want from here until the 10th of november! But I would like to know as much as possible about the game until it is released without them spoiling it! And I think they can release a lot more before they do!

Shishka is redefining community service. They couldn't pay me enough to moderate these forums.

fyi They do the same things in the movie biz - make people sign NDA's, watermark scripts, sue people who disclose information (like distributing rough cuts on the internet?!) before a film's release. The information that IS released is very carefully controlled. And too much contradictory information leads to bad word of mouth. Which is exactly the danger Bungie has exposed themselves to. If I were them, I'd put a clamp on it, right now. Maybe release another 3d screenshot in August or September, but that's it. And sue the ass of the jerk who posted those beta pics on the internet. Don't think for a second that they won't find him (or her).
