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!


Guess what? STFU!

I hate to break it sprtn044, but it doesn't take 3 months to perfect a game that is almost complete. And, yes, I would know. My cousin is a computer programmer. He creates programs, and when they are almost complete, they don't take 3 more months to finish.

And Mojo, I don't know what you're talking about me being burnt. All I said is that releasing a game early has never been done, and you think I've burnt myself. At least try and contribute to this thread instead of attempting to flame me.

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

wanna bet? look at zelda the wind waker. early release. And windows 95 early release. All sold many copies.

Ok here is your proof:

This is a message from Shiska to me:

I do make posts. The fun of my position is that people are so far deluded that they suspect me of "being in on the conspiracy" and accuse me of trying to mislead them.

So, let people make fools of themselves, I say. They'll be burned come the 24th when they still won't be playing Halo 2.

Whatever happens, we will all be happy and satisfied and even if there is no demo, or release, bungie is cool and they always satisfy.

Now, this supports the Aug 24 theory, which I FIRMLY do not believe in.

But how would Bungie lose money releasing the game early?

Say they release in November, and sell 1 million copies.

Say they release in August, and they sell 250,000 that month. 250,000 in September, 250,000 in October, and 250,000 in November. Isn't that a million copies?

It's actually a smart strategy. Think about this, if Halo 2 released in November, a lot of copies would be purchased as Christmas presents.

If they released in August, people would run out and buy it in Aug/Sept/Oct. Then they'd have to buy another game as a Christmas present. Therefore, you buy 2 games instead of one.

Also, Q3 2004 ends in September, releasing the game early would boost Xbox/MS/Bungie Quarter 3 numbers....

This is assuming Halo 2 releases in August, which I don't believe is going to happen.

too bad i did. this is to that other guy. no it doesnt take 3 monthes to polish. probebly about 2-3 weeks. no thats already aug 7-14 give or take a few days. then they got to mass produce the game which can take monthes due to the fact they need multiple million copies for reserved and shelves.

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.


How do you know it hasnt gone into production yet? how do you know how many copies could be made in a day, or a week, or a month? and if it was released august 24th unannounced the news would spread so fast it wouldnt be funny...

They will not lose money, but they will not set a record of most copies sold in one day.

because frankie said they are still fixing sum bugs and that was just last week and he implied that there will be a couple more weeks of fixing.

countdown to china! I think you noticed that on the limited edion box, on the back it said: made in hongkong? hongkong lies in china. What if theyre already producing the game, and over 13 days will spread the first wave of copies, then the second, third, etc etc till its august 24th(the third wave will come after this period i think ^^)? it could be it's only a tought.

Good point dragon. We don't know anything about the production. For all we know the game could have been finished in January. They don't have to tell us.

It proabably only takes 2-3 weeks to polish. It probably only takes 1 month to put in production. So you all are wondering if they could finish it that fast, why not? Well did you ever think the people at bungie may want to take a break and just play around on the game for a month or so before everyone else???
