Ya, but who created this hype? Bungie? No. Microsoft? No. We did. We chose to get our hopes high. And doing that often results in dissapointment.
DON'T LIE. This is officially called being a fanboy. Who created the site with the countdown timers in order to induce/encourage speculation? Bungie/Microsoft. Has Bungie come out and repudiated any of the speculations? No. Are they aware of the specific speculations? Yes, so they have "actual notice". Bungie ain't your girlfriend, whom you need to shield from all criticism. It's not disloyal to state things as they are.
I am not criticising Bungie/Microsoft, I am criticising us. And I didn't say Bungie/Microsoft didn't create the site, I said they didn't create all this hype. If you think that is wrong, prove it. Did Bungie/Microsoft say there will be a demo? Did they say the game will come out August 24th? They didn't even hint it. Rumors these days, however, seem to be the same as the truth in a lot of people's eyes. And I am not "defending" Bungie, as I don't think there is a reason to "defend" them. I'm saying what I think is true; if people weren't so hopeful about everything, dissapointment wouldn't come to them. If I say "O look! There's going to be a Halo 3, because Halo 1 + Halo 2 = Halo 3!" I will probably be in for a lot of dissapointment.
