LISTEN.. IF IT CAME ON 24TH THE ORDERS WILL BE MESSED UP AND A WASTER OF MONEY.. UR WRONG OK THEY MAYBE TRICKING YOU.. I AGREEE..NOVEMEBER 9TH IS THE REAL DATE


How would the orders be messed up? They would be as messed up as if you got it on the 9th of Nov. You would still get it like 3 days after the release, thats how it always is, but this way no one will no it is out until the day it is out. So you reserved a copy, the place calls you and tells you its in, like they would if it was released on Nov 9th. Things arn't going to be messed up. I think it might be the 9th because thats what they put in their video, but something is comming on the 25th of August and I'm hoping its Halo2, don't be negitive just because you don't want halo 2 right away, you halo 2 hater!


god bro your a -blam!- talker .you are gonna be so dissapointed come the 24th

did yall ever EXPLORE the website? if you look under the "countdown" you will see a Q&A, click on that, read it. Its a real site, not some made up one by Bungie. Someone hacked into that computer, did something with her and her Aunts e-mail and then set that up along with a disturbing message. Dont believe me? Check it yourself.

I thought we confirmed that the company doesn't exist and that there is no honey, but the woman's mailing address is a real address, so she must exist. Probably was enlisted by Bungie to help them with this little escapade.

How are the games rated?

To get a game certified with an ESRB rating, publishers fill out a detailed questionnaire explaining exactly what's in the game, and submit it to ESRB along with actual videotaped footage of the game, showing the most extreme content and an accurate representation of the context and product as a whole. Working independently, three trained raters then view the game footage and recommend the rating and content descriptors they believe are most appropriate. ESRB then compares the raters' recommendations to make sure that there's consensus. Usually, the raters agree and their recommendation becomes final. However, when the raters recommend different ratings, additional raters may be requested to review the game in order to reach broader consensus. Once consensus on a rating and content descriptors is reached, ESRB issues an official rating certificate to the game's publisher.

When the game is ready for release to the public, publishers send copies of the final product to the ESRB. The game packaging is reviewed to make sure the ratings are displayed in accordance with ESRB standards. Additionally, ESRB's in-house game experts randomly play the final games to verify that all the information provided during the rating process was accurate and complete.


That is from www.esrb.com

The game can be rated without the game being finished, however before the game is shipped, the ESRB raters will play the game (they say random meaning that they will have a few people just play the game, and not really look for certain aspects of the game to rate) and just give it an overall grade, and to see if the rating it was given was accurate.

So there you have it, the game could have been given a Mature rating, dispite it being finished. Bungie must have given ESRB all the info of whats going to happen in the game, so that they can rate the game. Whether its done or not (it could very well be done) we dont know for sure.

Dude, i remeber an article that bungie wrote somewhere and I forgot what it was called. They were out at retail stores or something talking about shipping and all of that crap. i don't think the orders will be screwed up. I'm mean, they probaly have everything planned out. Bungie probaly made everybody trick us into believing the date is the 9th of sept. Remember, all the events on aug. 24th were unexepted. So this could be unexpected. Also, you got to remeber Bungie like to keep secrets. It is their law. So brace yourself.

This little scheme by Bungie is a really good plan(if this is even by Bungie). I've been resfreshing these fourums for a good 2 hours! This is really getting me more hyped up for Halo 2!

blabla!

its totaly true, why would frankie say its been major crunch time when the release date is nov. 9th? and how can they be finished with multiplayer maps, and almost done with singleplayer with this much time to spare (if it is november9th)

We should all order the shirts/pins/stickers/hats to see if they really exist. That is, if we're dedicated enough...
