Anybody else besides me think theres going to be a lot of dissapointed kiddies when August 24 rolls around and Halo 2 isn't released? lol

That day, the forums will be hip deep with whiny posts about how Bungie "lied", how Bungie "sucks", how Bungie was "mean", etc, etc, and some idiots will say now they are NOT going to buy Halo 2 because Bungie got their hopes up. Waaah, waaaaah, whaaaaaa.

Yeah, right.

You'll wait till November 9, like the rest of us. Ilovebees is to build up the hype surrounding the game. Only suckers get pwned by marketing.

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.


Damn good point my friend. Thank you.

yea. lots. but it does take a while because they usualy take the first ones off the press to IGN or OXM that stuff. so thats how it can go gold.

Nobody can say that Bungie would lose money because it has never happened before.


Maybe, just MAYBE, theres a reason for that.

It does not takes months to create 700,000 copies. With machines nowadays, it would only take a matter of weeks. Also, how can you explain the Weekly Updates? Can you tell me why, 3 and a half months before the release, Frankie quoted Adrian Perez on this? "Every week we get closer to finishing, which means that every week the bugs I’m fixing are less and less critical.

Now, why would they be fixing minor errors on a game that still has 3 months of production?
Hmm......

I for one don't care when it comes out, I'll just be happy it does come out.

why doesn't everyone just stfu, and wait till the 24th and we'll see what happens. I personally want the game to come out on the 9th just cause I want them to make it as perfect as possible. If they rush the game out on the 24th then it'll bee like halo 1. I want bungie to take their time, and to give us the best game they have ever made,

not for 700,000. but notice. thats only in 2 countries. you still got australia canada mexico germany france all of those. plus the ones on the shelves. that could go to around 2,00,000 copies or more. trust me it takes a while.

sprtn044, he did not burn me in any way whatsoever. He said that a company hadn't released a game early for a reason. What reason? When was the last time that he released a game early? How would he know?

Bungie wants this game to be "Perfect". They want no flaws so they said they are going to take their time making it.

Bungie wants to go down in history known as the company who made the best game ever, and they want the best game ever to be "flawless".

I dont think people are going to flood the forum with posts like "bungie lied" and all that crap.

No one REALLY REALLY thinks that it is coming out, they are just HOPING and they are allowed to do that. Anyways, BUNGIE NEVER SAID IT WAS COMING OUT THEN, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT.

No company that ever had a good game has decided to release their game early.

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.


Guess what? Bungie said it would come out earlier this year(can't remember precise date if there was one) and they moved it back...I think they did it again too. This pissed off all of Halo fans right? What better way to make it up to them then releasing it early? Also if they can move the date back then they can move it forward!
