Hey this is something that i thought of when i was in school and there was nothing better to do. But as you have noticed HALO 2 keeps on getting pushed back and Xbox 2 is planned to come out early next year or something like that. But have any of you thought that they might just delay Halo 2 to just come out on Xbox 2. that would really suck.

Yeah Xbox 2 or Xbox Next or whatever it will be called isn't due for another 2 or 3 years. They haven't even decided on the 3D card although it will be ATI. Halo 2 will be released this fall.

Bungie won't delay Halo 2 any longer for fear of an angry mob accumilating outside thier offices, throwing molotov cocktails at their cars so they can't leave.

yeah, delaying halo 2 again will be like accepting to eat satchel charges with the trigger in my hand. and that's not a good idea

that would piss me off
I don't have the money to buy another Xbox...
but I don't think its possible, Bungie would need the exact hardware specs, plus a working system to try out HALO 2.

also, if this is true, the media would make lots of noise, like feeding time for monkey's in a zoo.

Umm....you people know that Bungie has Never delayed Halo 2, right?? Xbox 2 will not come out at the first of next year. More likely the end of 2005 or first of 2006.

Halo 2 was delayed from the original release of April 15, 2004. Xbox Next or Xbox 2 is only in development stages, I agree that it will probably come out at the first of 2006.

Halo 2 was never delayed! The only offical date from Bungie is fall 2004. Before that, there line was that "It'll be finished when it's finished." All other dates that magazines or stores had where rumors and nothing more. They were never offical!

indeed! Bungie never gave a release date (on one the papers included in some of the m$ games, it says spring 2004, but that was M$, not bungie, and bungie won't release it earlier just for M$...)
now we know it will be fall, and remember that fall is coming closer every day (few weeks of school, exams, summer holidays, another game to kill time and... HALO 2!!! )

a very good business strategy is that Halo 2 will come out as planed in fall and Halo 3 will counter PS3s release

No, Dark Sector will. I"m pretty sure ps3 and xbox 2 will come out at around the same time.

No Halo 2 will not be pushed back anymore. Plus XBOX 2 (or whatever their gonna call it) isnt even close to being finished. besides their gonna hold out and try to get the most money possible out of XBOX.

about this xbox 2 or xbox next, ive heard that there is not going to be a hard drive in the console, whereas everything will be online, so you can save your games to the servers. Plus not having a hard drive would make it a whole lot more cheaper. personally i would want the hard drive, cause thats just me.

I don't know if you guys have noticed yet or not, but Bungie has never delayed Halo2. As they stated in one of their news posts a while back.....last year or something. They wouldnt tell us when the release date was until they were sure within a month of the actual date. Then this year when they actually did say it was going to be released IN THE FALL, they quoted that previous post. Now, the date getting pushed back for over a year now, is the market trying to get kids to reserve copies of the game so they can make money now before the game even comes out.

Xbox 2 is not really called Xbox 2; it is really called Xbox Next Generation. But it would suk if Halo2 was delayed until Xbox NG. Oh, and y do peeps say it was delayed? Bungie has never set a specific release date. (thank you other people who have noticed, I'm just stressing the fact that Halo 2 has never been delayed)

Halo 2 will come out this fall... this game has been in development for about 3 and a half years... they are done with the single player, and they are fixing the multi-player bugs and shiz.. Bungie would not confirm anything unless they were sure they could make the deadline... i work at gamestop and the date on the computers is September 1st and i think bungie will get it out by then

Halo 2 = (Original Halo + Sum of all released shots + E3 demo + other info) x 9,000,000. Therefore, they cannot be completely don't yet, because it's not physically possible to do that, well, maybe it is, but they havn't finished it yet.

i thought XBOX 2 was given a rough guess of late 2005

just so every one knows its pretty clear though many many industry sources lately that xbox 2 is currently shaping up for a late 2005 release. They want that year head start that sony had last time around. And i agree the next best thing to having halo 3 at the xbox 2 launch (which can never happen because of time) to pit halo 3 against ps3 is almost destiny, either way most developers have had their xbox 2 SDK's for months. microsoft as well as the developers have officially said that many many times. der.

Flyboy is right. And when it comes to Xbox 2 and PS3, I'd say they both come out near the same time in 2006.
