(Dont kill me, just hear me out)

Currently, the only communication from Bungie regarding Halo 2's release date is "Fall 2004." If we get specific with that, the Fall begins September 22nd, and ends December 21st.

Therefore here is my paranoid thought process at work:

(1) Many thousands of people who subscribed to Xbox Live did so when it first came out in November 15th 2002 (many who were so-called Beta testers)

(2) On November 15, 2003 Many thousands of people resubscribed to Xbox Live dreaming that Halo 2 was going to come out Christmas that year.

(3) Halo 2 did not come out in Christmas 2003 and no official dates were given, only speculations (April 1st, June 1st, etc)

(4) Halo 2 was officially announced to come out "Fall 2004"

(5) If Halo 2 ships in September/October, there is a great risk that some people who arent that into Halo wont resubscribe to Xbox Live in November 2004 (I know its hard to believe, but there are some geeks out there who dont like Halo).

Logical huh? But only time will tell...Just mark my words when you see me online playing Halo 2 AFTER November 15,2004

LaMuerte you are one sad strange litlle girl. You are proabably right however that it will come out then, but knowing bungie they will release it december 20 just to make us mad.

Good,

I almost thought people would think I was crazy.

I also forgot to mention one other point...It would be better for Xbox sales in Christmas 2004 if Halo 2 releases around or after Thanksgiving.

Dont get me wrong, I am not happy about this...I just think that this is almost sure considering all of the info/facts about MS/Bungie.

What if Bungie never announces a release date... what if we wake up one morning and poof... there it is? Would they do that?

They say fall but I bet they'll make it closer to the holiday for more sales. Yes, I wouldn't be suprised.

I will not believe in any more rumors. I'll believe Halo 2 will come out when Bungie itself gives the real release date.

Escape will make me God.

Yeah, I have speculated that Halo 2 will be released around the 3 year anniversary of the xbox. Then again, people thought it might be released last year on that date and it never happened. Sure, Microsoft might bring home more Halo 2 sales closer to x-mas time, but you are forgetting that this is the sequel to a game that has sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Regardless of when it is released, it will make/break sales records. A Microsoft PR rep has stated before that, with a game of Halo's success, it doesn't matter when it hits the shelves -- it will still sell well. Both Microsoft and Bungie know this and that is why Bungie is taking the time to perfect it. Much like yourselves, I am hoping to see it in early Fall. Realistically, it will probably be released close enough to x-mas time to boost sales, but not as late as November 15th. Anywhere from September through October, I'm guessing.

We wouldn't need a swearing filter if it weren't for people like you, my friend.

Good points Gifty...I am just sick and tired of waiting....I am one of those many xbox owners who bought the system to get Halo and stayed on because of the great Xbox Live experience (Now I have 2 xboxes and 2 copies of Halo Xbox, and 1 copy of Halo PC). Mix Xbox Live (universal connection/communication) with Halo 2 is going to be beyond this world

In other words, Frankie/Bungie/Anyone, throw us a freakin' bone here

i dunno if its just me, but it seems like if they released halo 2 on the anniversary of the xbox, it would kind of make bungie look like microsofts b*tch. again, maybe thats just me.
