For the record, I am really sick of bee threads. I do, however, have to put in my two cents before I boycott the hive...
There's no way that the game will be released before November 9th. 0% possibility. Here's why---
---Bungie's still finishing the game up, and there is no time to produce enough copies in time for Aug 24th
---It would make no sense from a buisness or advertising point of view. Microsoft is not made up of a bunch of children, they know what their doing. November 9th is a solid holiday release that will crush any of Sony's Christmas plans. Microsoft and Bungie aren't stupid enough to set a solid release date for the world and then just say "ahhh....screw it."
Even the single player demo seems a bit unconventional. Even though it makes sense with the abbreviations, it does not make sense financially. Why spend thousands making demo disks for a game that already has enough hype to push it through the next ten years? Still, it is possible...... ....and I dont think Microsoft would spare any expense in pushing this game. Could OXM next month feature a demo? It would solve many of the above mentioned issues. Does the mags release date match the countdown? Maybe a subribers only feature? Who knows, just more stupid speculation from my pained brain.
Here's the most likely senario in my mind. Still just specualtion---
---One of the online tests is done in one day
---Production on either the actual Halo2 disk, OXM demo, or a beta disk begin in 15 days
---Mass advertising, Beta, Halo2 demo, or the invasion of the Covenant begins on Aug 24. (sometime in the morning)
I apologize, because I am not howmuch of all this has been said before. If the thread gets locked I understand
At any length I think it's a conspiricy with Asprin to get us to by more headache meds. I think I've had about 14 migraines in the past day alone...
