I hope you aren't referring to me. I'm not going to flame you. I actually agree with you. However, my belief has dropped since seeing the post by Frankie, though. I'll know for sure on the 24th.

Halo 2 comes out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK. It does NOT come out on Aug 24th. You know what does come out on Aug. 24th? Some OXM special which does NOT, and I repeat does NOT have a Halo 2 demo on it. No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum. But to reiterate, Halo 2 comes out Nov. 9th or Nov.11th for the UK.


Sigh.

Hi there, I'm new to the forums here, but I have been following this argument since it began and have several opinions on the issue.

Firstly, people saying that it is absolutely going to come out on the 24th and the people in the opposite camp are not helping the situation. Slinging harsh comments at each other and reinforcing your points of view is doing nothing for an objective study of the ILB's conundrum.

Everyone is on tender-hooks at the moment, we have already waited sooooo long for this game that the prospect of an early release has got us all worked up, either into excitement, or into a wish not to get your hopes up through fear of disappointment.

We all need to take a step back and calm down.

Now, to the issue at hand:

At present there is only a few FACTS of the matter that are known to us. Firstly, something is going to happen on both Aug. 10th and Aug. 24th. We also know these events are connected to HALO for two reasons. One, The ILB's address was in the official theatrical trailer, two, allot of the viral content on ILB pertains to places or events in the halo universe, Reach for example in mentioned as a burning beacon.

Unfortunately, this is all we know that cannot be disputed or called a fake. We have no idea to what this countdown could be for, no concrete clues as to the event.

I feel that there is not enough evidence to validate Junito as being legit, just as there is not enough to invalidate him. Although his willingness to discuss counterstrike and DOOM 3 indicates a break in character, lending support to the 'he is a fake' camp.

Prof. Steel could be a part of this ARG, but as yet has not been pumped for the information that he may have. However, people looking for a real James steel, please. A name like that is clearly an alias.

Although he has brought up an interesting fact, he says that ILB is nothing to do with halo (yea right!) but that an AI program has taken over the site. I offer the possibility that this is cortana gone rampant, much like Duranal in the marathon series.

She has all the knowledge of the forerunner in her head and her matrix cannot cope with all the information. We already see a change in here behaviour in the cut scene right after 343 GS, firstly she calls the MC a Neanderthal (I think).

This is what I think the sand metaphor is relating to, her head is being cracked open, and the sand represents all the information pouring out of her. Also, she has become more than she was, and she now feels trapped in her 'silicon crypt'. She also asks to 'get off this freaking ABACUS and into a bigger system.'-(ilb fun stuff page) much like Durandal, it would take a computer the size of a planet (halo?) to house her now. I feel that the SPDR may be one of three things either:

A UNSC program designed to fix repair or purge information from a rampant A.I, in the hopes of saving what was

or:
ONI program that is attempting to extract by force the information of the forerunner from Cortana.

or:

Perhaps SPDR could mean self-preservation directive. With the overload, a program may have begun that is destroying the rouge information contained within cortana. She keeps repeating the same mantra, something along the lines of 'evade, hide, survive' I don't remember the exact quote

I think that the latter two are more likely, ONI is bound to find out about Cortana's experience with Halo's data banks, and on the losing end of a war, they wouldn't hesitate to destroy an A.I for the sake of a tactical advantage as incredible as that. Also, the narrator doesn't appear to be enjoying the experience of SPDR.

As for my opinions on the 10th & 24th? Something important to HALO is going to happen, an early release, perhaps, perhaps not, there is not enough evident, but i am enjoying this

perhaps your right colhsh but it would make things a lot calmer if the ppl who dont believe in an early release would just leave the ones who do alone

Although I do not think it is an early release (that would be awesome, but I think a demo is the most I can ask for), you are correct, that would not be enough. But what if they already finished it? Up until now, they could feed us any info they wanted and we would believe it.

Also, I think here is some important info (it may be new, maybe not, maybe it was what everyone was saying and I just didn't understand at the time):

Someone said that people subscribed to OXM [and the like] get it 2 weeks before the news stands.

2 weeks = 14 days
24 (the day it goes to newsstands) - 14 = 10
The 10th of August: This medium will metastasize...
metastasize = to spread; usually news

Is that important or already known? And I am not positive about the 2 weeks before thing, but it sounds right.
