"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

For many other reasons this game will not come out on the 24! I think one of the most obvious that doesn't get said is that Bungie will make money off many people who want to get the special edition. I have not put down the EXTRA 5 dallors yet, and I am sure that MS knows that in sep, oct, and nov they can make tons of extra money by making it come out by that date. So everyone can keep saying that it might or will be out on the 24th of august, and I don't care if you do. But just look at the facts.

Its not extra that 5 dollars goes toward the cost of the game. Another good reason for it to come out early is there was an article that was release on gamespy talking about all the different games coming out that are up to the halo 2 level such as Half Life 2 and other good games. It would be better if they release it before all those came out. It would make more money that way.

evilpoo i agree with you wholeheartedly. i think releasing halo2 in august would help out because peopel would be more enthusiastic because it was a surprise and they would have a few weeks left of summer to play it and then would get the jump on all the hyped up games like doom 3 etc. i know if i had a copy of h2 in august i woudlnt buy another game for probly 2 years

Its funny theres a ton of really cool games out now and really the only game I really care about playing is halo and halo 2. I will probably do the same only play halo 2 untill xbox 2 comes out. Ill still get Half-Life 2 for the pc still though.

Edit: Sorry for the double post answering above Comments.

What if this ilovebees thing is just a scam for more people to get it preordered because people now think that halo 2 will come out the 24th but if it doesnt and it comesout the 9th there would have alreay been a couple thousand people who reserved there copy of halo 2 because they thought it was going to come out on the 24th.

HALO 2 will not come out early. Why spend millions on advertising to the public in theaters to say NOV 9 then for one sec in a subliminal like message say ILOVEBEES.com they did the ads to reach out to the general public not to hardcore fanboys. itll be NOV 9th. go read my post abou tthe new books coming out

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

You never know. They posted on their site about an April release for a long time, longer than any thearter advertisment. Plus that video was cheap, and the thearter probably payed the Bungie to show that video. I don't know, I wish I could talk to someone who does know. Although I think through all this talk someone will have said all along what the whole Bungie plan is about.

It might happen Sparten 6000. I think I heard or read something about another game made by Bungie coming out in a suprise fashion. I think it might have been a Myth game or whatever one of those games is, maybe Oni.
