And uh, why are you apologizing to Bungie? Do you think they read this stuff? Seriously?! And if they did would they care if a fan wants more? No, they except that.

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!


You're welcome to challenge me all you want. Only problem is you'll have to take a number, you're not the only one that wants a shot at me.

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!

Unfortunately for you, they appear to disagree.

And it's not as though Bungie has sworn to not release another screen ever. There will be more information coming in before the game is released. You'll just have to sit on your hands and wait for it.

Bungie don't owe us nothing! We're just lucky they gave us this beautiful forum and all the renders and screenshots. If they wanted to they could post nothing and I wouldn't like them any less just as long as the game comes out. You should show them some gratitude.

if you think waiting 4 months is bad, just wait until the week before. it's going to kill you.

you know, bungie could have kept EVERYTHING about halo 2 a secret. but they didn't. so be thankful. (not saying i wouldn't mind anymore info released, bungie)

I love the fact that Bungie isnt telling us jack... Of course I would love to know anything but everytime I read an update when Frankie starts to get excited then everything is censored I love it, the curiosity kills me, but the anticipation of learning everything we don't know is awesome.... If Bungie told us everything there would be no mystery when the game comes out and Nov. 9th wouldn't be nearly as amazing. And I would rather Bungie work on the game and do the best job they can in the time they have left opposed to new screenshots every other day.... I say to all of you who are whining about not enough info, shut up...be glad you even have Halo in the first place....Bungie owes us?? No, No we owe them

Well, if you think it's this lame, then don't go to these forums. It's that simple. I would like a new screenshot. Correction...I would LOVE a new screen shot. But bungie isn't obligated to post anything.

And I do believe that the only thing he knows that we don't is the Zanzibar level that was in E3...

P.S. Do try to use proper grammar next time. I already have a headache...I don't need to try to put meaning in that random grouping of words you call a sentance. Thank You.

You would be incorrect if you assume we don't read it. The community team reads quite a lot of the posts here, myself included.

As for an answer to your question, that's very simple, really. Say we did release some info, say some single player screenshots, or a weapon listing, or some info on the multiplayer maps. And what would your response be? You would discuss, complain, because none of you would know the context of the decisions that we made and the vast majority of you think you're the best game designers in the world if only people gave you chance. And then, when we changed something, you'd demand to know why. Or maybe you work for a competitor of ours, and you're looking for some ideas. But you want to know the most important reason not to release more info?

Think about what is the first thing you would ask for after we release info? The first thing is always, without fail, a request for more. More what? More anything. One release is never enough. That means we're doing our job with getting the word out, but the fact of the matter is that nothing will satisfy most of you. So, we choose to control the info flow to our own advantage, and, I dare say, own whims - because no matter how much we release, it will never be enough. It wouldn't be long until everything is released, and no one would care about Halo 2 anymore.

What's the solution? Well, there isn't really a problem. We do what is best for Halo 2, and you will simply have to live with the weekly updates (which is vastly more than most companies will give you).

So, why don't you guys stop being chumps (you know who you are) and go back to the real fun bungie.net right now - talking about the possibilities. What you want to see, what this or that means, etc.

We don't tell our moderators more about Halo 2. Some of them get advance notice of things changing in bungie.net, but that doesn't give them the inside track on Halo 2.

Besides, I wouldn't trust Shishka more than my giant gold robots could throw him. :)

Well I think of it this way. If Halo 2 information was constantly being released until there was none left to release, I would not go check Halo.Bungie.Org and Bungie.net every time I am on my computer to see if there is more information. If all the information was released I would have no reason to keep coming back to look for more Halo and Halo 2 related things.
So as Achronos said, in order to keep us interested they hold back information. And apparently (in my case at least) they are doing a very good job at it.

Dude, Yall need to CHILL.
Yes Im going crazy over the amount of Info released and yes I want more. Its like a drug addiction and Bungie knows that and thats what makes it funny is some of yall can't handle it and some of us can. They are doing this on purpose and I like it.

'Thank you sir, may I have another?' *gets shot-up with more Halo2 crack and passes-out*

I don't understand what any of you are complaining about!?!? Honestly.....like someone has said before, do you see Doom 3 or Half Life 2 giving out this much information? People...TAKE A DEEP ASS BREATH! I'm content with what they give us. I feel privialged(sp) to get the things we do have. The screens, the updates, the sound files....all great!!! STOP BEING SO FREAKING GREEDY AND WAIT!

I agree. That's the problem. Halo 2 content is like some kind of drug. You get high off it, then lose the high...then you want more...and more...and more. In fact, that IS the problem. If Bungie had never released any content, I can almost gurantee, that no one would be -blam!-ing. Frankly, I think Bungie released enough content (More than any other company would give out...that's for damn-sure). But, sadly, some people are immature (even more sadly, they hang out on these forums), and think that they have a right to get content whenever they want.
