Is Halo 2 coming out early??? Hell Naw. It is not coming out early and you are dumb for thinking so. I have preordered my game to be shipped to me on Nov. 9th. So how is it possible that they would release it early and make all the gaming company's rush to get it out??

I think it is not possible. Also why in the hell would they advertise to the general public that it is coming out on Nov. 9th when it is really coming out Aug. 24th?? If i wasnt a big gamer, i would see that trailer and be like " In early Nov. I am going to get that game". But if they released the game on Aug. 24, those people who wouldnt know would wait until Nov. 9th to pick it up, so in that way bungie is losing money. By releasing the game on Aug. 24, they would break no record sales or anything, which is one of bungie's goals.

Bungie has told us that when they make a release date, they stand by it and make sure that the game releases ON THAT DAY. So if bungie says Nov. 9th, you should trust in that and know that bungie would not lie about something this serious. If you cant trust in bungie, then you are a noob, and shouldnt even be on these forums.

Ilovebees.com is nothing more than entertainment. Most likely if you log on to ilovebees.com on Aug. 24, 343 guilty spark will pop up, or something will change, and it will tell you a little bit about the story line of Halo 2.

So Trust in Bungie, Trust In the Moderaters, and Trust in Yourself.

If you agree please post back.

Hell yeah brother. Im tired of all this HALO 2 S CUMIN OUT AGST 24!!11!11 crap. The only thing that I think is happening is that some story line BEFORE H2 is be leaked to us slowly. Which I think is pretty cool and give some more mature fans something to do, not everyday but once a week etc. Although i think there is the SLIGHT possibility there could be some sort of demo, playable or not, i have no clue.

Good point. If the game was going to come out early it seems like a huge marketing campain would be needed.

He NEVER said he didnt trust bungie,Assumtions put you on the road to failure.He mearly expressed his oppinion which is that YOU never know what will happen,honestly it isnt up to bungie,its up to Microsoft.We ALL trust bungie here to make the best god damn game they can but honestly,I belive that it could possibly.It would make a rush,a panic if you will, to get to those stores and buy that game.People wouldent know what hit them..Look at this Ilovebees thing,It was a simple little website that caused alllll this commotion...IMAGINE what bungie/M$ could do if they did some slick ass move like that...In my oppinion they would Rush the Stores and people would be -blam!- themselves because it happened so fast...But a word to all...dont get your hopes up because you REALLY dont wanna get all depressed that your wishes didint come true...Just be happy there is a halo 2 =)

shishka said its coming out nov 9. so it will come out. he played the game at e3 and is one of the top mods for bungie. so that means halo 2 will not come out aug 24.

Here's something else to prove how wrong the theory of Aug. 24th is. (and how dumb it would be) Do you know the estimate in reserves there are for Halo 2? 700,000! that's a BIG NUMBER! How many people are on this site? not even close to 1/10 of the people here compared to how many reserves are their. I think Bungie would be smart enough to make commercials of Halo2's release... (eh hem... Nov. 9th maybe?) if it were to come out on Aug. 24th, why keep it a big secret? Bungie would want to make Halo2 HUGE, not some small growth of customers... and let me tell you this. Bungie is a big company, and they're not going to let Halo2 come out unless it's huge, too!

Mojo, your sig is not proof. And, person who made this thread, Bungie would not lose any money at all. Can you imagine the news?

"Today, one of the most surprising things has happened. The video game company Bungie has released the most anticipated game ever, Halo 2. It was thought to be coming out in November, but Bungie pulled the hood over everyone's eyes and surprised us all. Everyone who pre-ordered the game was delighted to recieve a phone call telling them their favorite game in the world just came out 3 months early! People hearing this from their friends are flooding stores all over the nation. This is the first time in history that anything of this sort has ever been attempted. After the obvious success Bungie has met with this plan, other companies are sure to follow suit."

Nobody can say that Bungie would lose money because it has never happened before.
So stop saying that they would lose billions of dollars. You never know. I for one will just watch and wait.

Read-

While the ilovebees.com alternate-reality game probably won't reach its conclusion until August 24, the next update will occur when the "medium will metastasize" on August 10. However, two conclusions about Halo 2's plot can already be drawn. First is the certainty that a UNSC colony called Troy will be attacked by the Covenant before they invade Earth. This is clear from the references to the "millions of lives" in the Lt. Sorenson/Captain Green dialogue.

It is also likely that a new AI will be introduced in Halo 2. Given the parallels between hoax e-mails used to introduce Cortana before Halo and the AI rants on ilovebees.com, it is likely that the "Queen" and the "Widow" will be either two new AIs or an AI with a split personality. Readers of the Halo novel First Strike will also remember how Cortana battled a Covenant AI, which may also be a possibility.

One non-game-related conclusion can also be reached in the wake of the ilovebees.com affair: Viral marketing is effective, especially when applied to an audience starved for information. For the fraction of the cost of a national TV blitz, Bungie and Microsoft have generated a monstrous amount of buzz (no pun intended) among Halo 2 fans. The ilovebees.com site has become a self-perpetuating phenomenon, spawning thousands of discussion threads on hundreds of forums and creating unquantifiable office-cooler banter. For every cynic decrying it as a marketing hoax, there are two Halo 2 and/or ARG fans spending hours trying to uncover the clues hidden inside ilovebees.com. Somewhere, an advertising executive is laughing all the way to the bank.

ok. the game cant come out because it hasnt even gone into production yet. it takes monthes to make the amount of copies they need. 700,000 people reserved it in USA and UK alone. It takes monthes to create that amount plus the amount that goes on the shelves.
