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.
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
