You guys are ignorant. He didn't say that Microsoft and Bungie have to inform the stores first, he said that they haven't. If they did release it early, they most likely would tell the stores.

This is true - I didn't say they had to, I just said it would be bad for business, and I'm 99.9% sure that they wouldn't...

The stores that recieve the copies of Halo2 would have to be notified before the game is released right? Well, if it were to be released Aug. 24th (which it isn't) the stores would have been notified by now. Go ahead, camp outside the nearest Gamestop or where ever you're going. I'll bring my camera and take your pictures! (and post them all over bungie to show the embarrasment... heh heh)

The purpose of this thread was to alleviate any possible dissapointment, many people just don't get it though.. Inter-business relationship is the keystone to economics like this - Microsoft sells almost nothing directly. It's all about the retail point-of-sale.

If we're lucky, Halo2 will be popular enough to be advertised through Doritos and Baskin Robbins! Kinda like Star Wars Episode 1, except that wasn't advertised by Baskin Robbins. By the way, good work clearing up all the confusion Jim.

Until an actual Bungie employee says something, I will believe.

It's a toss up between Microsoft and Bungie for the site. But I think if it was Microsoft, the amount of calls and chats they've had to go through lately, has made them rethink their next campaign... I'm sure the support staff at Microsoft want to put a hammer through the monitor everytime someone asks them about bees...

It's a nice attempt, Jim, but unfortunately futile. People will not listen, and I guarantee that, come the 24th of next month, New Mombasa will be full of "WTF NO HALO 2 TODAY BUNGIE LIED TO ME" threads.

Oh I won't do that, I am just saying that because the Aug. 24th release date has been thrown around so much, Bungie would have stopped it if it were false.

There will be just as many of the sane ones here that are just going to say "No -blam!- Sherlock. Bungie never said August 24th, they stuck with November 9th, and you are an idiot"

In some form or another...

I tried to explain it.

But hey - I can't make people think.

Yea sorry to say this but your little "top 20's store" has got nothing on bungie or microsoft. They can even chose not to sell halo 2 in your store if they felt like it.

First of all how can we trust this guy? How do we really know he works for a game store if he has no proof. Secondly, If he does work for a game store, he might not be high enough in the chain to really know anything about Halo 2's release or he may not be able to disclose information about it because of liabilty. They want to keep this a secret until they are ready. And Also they can just notify them on August 10th like the countdown says. If Halo 2 was not going to be released early then Bungie would have shot down the rumor a long time ago. Look at the newest update, they are trying to dodge game details. They had a big party today and were playing Halo 2, they could be done already. It wasn't a developer's xbox they were playing on.

If Bungie felt like they can not release it to anyone on August 24th..... Wait that will be retarded. Same with not releasing to the top 20 stores. Hell even costco will sell Halo 2. So stop acting like a 13 year old and open ur eyes

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

agree Jim, you're one of the few who are willing to put their reps on the line to try and shut these fools up. Too bad they have no common sense anymore. I think in the weekly update Frankie gave us a hint too. He kept emphasizing how glitchy the game was and how many bugs there were. Now even though it probably isn't the newest build. I don't think that they would even be ready for shipping it, let alone releasing it, at this point. And even if it were released early, MP wouldn't work online. It's designed for 3.0/Tsunami, which even isn't out yet. So shut up, sit back, and wait till Nov. 9th.

They said they were going to launch a massive ad capaign right before Halo 2 comes out-I have already seen a magazine ad and there is the theater trailer which does say November 9th

I'm sure microsoft already knows when its gonna be released

11+9+4=14 ILOVEBEES why make a site like that if it isn't for something big. Maybe someone added it in there just to see how big of a deal we make out of it. But of course 1 person couldn't that. Its either a demo or the full release.

Why wouldn't Bungie want to surprise us. Ilovebees wasn't done in 2 months it was planned out for a long time. If the game comes out August 24th I'm sure Microsoft knows about it and top retailer officials know too.

I'm not saying I think its coming out November 9th or August 24th. I simply don't know when its coming out. Why would Bungie make I love bees. They know thats what would happen. So like I said its either a playable demo or the full game. If it was a playable demo Bungie would have made the choice not too long ago because the question "Will there be a playable demo before Halo 2 release" on the faq isn't there anymore, so they wouldn't have time to make Ilovebees.
