Some facts that everyone should consider:

-Halo 2 release date is currently Nov. 9th.
-Bungie would not advertise with millions of dollars for Nov. 9th just to release it early.
-Bungie would never release a demo w/ the current popularity of Halo and Halo 2.
-Bungie would never release a single player game and its multiplayer portion seperately.
-With marketing in mind, it is best to release the game right before Christmas. (Nov. 9th)
-A website such as www.ilovebees.com is a perfect way to build hype for Halo 2 among hardcore fans.
-It would make sense to build hype of new information and not an early release date for Halo 2 in regards to previos information.

In conclusion, the website is there simply to promote the game for Nov. 9th and nothing else except maybe to lead the fans on an egg hunt to find more revealing information that will keep them busy until Nov. 9th. Ido not believe that Bungie has any plans on releasing a demo, single player campaign or for that matter Halo 2 early. As much as I want Halo 2 to be released on Aug. 24th, I do not see any evidence that this is the case. I believe that the countdown is simply building hype for an event such as the start of a more comprehensive advertising campaign which would make sense.

Ok guys.. lets look at this thing from a different angle... Merriam-Webster defines throttling (network throttling) first as :to compress the throat of : CHOKE (2) : to kill by such action b : to prevent or check expression or activity of : SUPPRESS.
If you look at it that way the whole beta test thing dosent work..
...Just a thought.

Yea but does that deffinition really work when you use it and your talking about the internet

This ilove bees thing all kinda confusing because so many things can happen on aug. 24 like it could be someones birthday and the website seems like its not really connected to bungie because of the blog that looks real and stuff. Someone might have changed the last snippet from the halo 2 theater trailer without anyone knowing for some reason. But, I have to admit, the idea that the ilovebees.com website wasn't created that long ago at all and that the website URL for ilovebees is in the OFFICIAL halo 2 theater trailer makes the whole subject seem a little strange. At this point in this mini saga im thinkin that bungie has some kind of connection, but i could be wrong. So, im sorta confused.

I know I'm new to these forums/this thread. It may not have come to a lot of peoples attention that if u modify the sourcecode for the ilovebees website, that you can make it run all the scripts and text it has. In my opinion, if you did this (which would take a very long time) you could line up all the text and pictures, all on 1 page, while running all java applications at the same time. This website was not done by a novice programmer. This guy is a pro, you wouldnt get alternate page displays from pressing refresh if he hadnt written that in his script. The code to do that alone is a page long in java, and i think the countdowntochina app is what he named it as. Im not saying this is right or wrong, its pure speculation as is this whole thread. Could get some more plausible brain juices flowing.
Critisism is needed on this post.

Interesting... You just reminded me about something that I read in my Mythology class. It's the tale of Gilgamesh, where Enkidu is created to be his equal. http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/MESO/GILG.HTM

A couple things that aren't fact, but make alot of sense.

ilovebees.com is made by Bungie and MS because it showed at the end of the trailer! Why would they put that therre if it had nothing to with them?

And Halo 2 will most likely not come out on August 24th(could be wrong but it's a good guess) for the fact that Bungie has advertised it as November 9th. Why would you advertise a false release date? It could hurt sales.

Also that could very well be a demo for Halo 2 on the 24th to help bring up anticipation and keep it up at the time when Doom 3 and maybe Half-Life 2 are being released. A good demo would make lots of people excited for the game, and MAYBE help them look past Doom 3 and Half-Life 2.

Like I said none of that is for sure, but it just makes sense to me.

Accusing us of spamming. Alright, but that's the fifth time this guy has posted the exact same thing.
