I think Halo 2 is coming out August 24 and all the orders for Halo 2 will be changed to August 24 and people will be surprised to see Halo 2 in there hands and then panic and call there friends and tell them its out. Then people will party with there friends and play Halo 2 until they can't stay awake any more.

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.


Exactly, totally agree.

Even if Halo 2 was done right now, they would still have to market it to a lot of people in 24 days. They would have to make millions of copies of disks and get them to the stores. The actual game will be done long before it hits any shelves. So basically, it will not come out on August 24th.

I have been hearing rumors that August 24th they will officially release date for the Halo 2 demo, I think that will be true, not the full version game, I can expect seening trailers for Halo 2, demos, and promoting it, But I really really hope a demo of the Halo 2 single player or multiplayer Xbox Live demo comes out, it would help more xbox gamers to buy the game, before I usually play games I either play the demo or rent the game, I rather play the demo to enjoy it before I make a finally decision buying the game, so I hope a demo version comes out on that date.

im an OXM subscriber and they havent said anything about an early release for the 10th. If so how do i get my hands on it

the magazine hits newstands the 24th but the other part of the countdown says something happens the tenth it is believed thats when the subscribers get there magazines that would be the reason why it metazises or spreads out because all the subscribers are gonna be like holly crap i got a magazine today and it had loads of halo 2 stuff in it then on the 24th everyone who didnt subscribe is going to go out and buy the magazine

good stuff for OXM

also random fact about OXM it happens to be the msot widely subscibed to console magazine out there

But Technically OXM is a Monthly Magazine that only give one out a monthand the Preview guide isnt a month and therefor I would probably have to buy it tho. They already have an issue thats hit for this month with Conker on it

No. All Bungie/MS did was create a cryptic website. The imaginations of all the little kiddies in the Halo community generated the hype for them. "Halo's coming early!" "They're releasing a demo!" Neither Microsoft nor Bungie said any of that. That all came from the little minds of fanboys and kids who saw a countdown timer and got their Yugioh underwear all in a twist. The timer countdown could be for the release of Halo 2 cereal, for all anyone knows.

I just KNOW there's going to be a million "Bungie tricked us" threads on August 24th. Disappointed babies all over the world. Boo hoo hoo. Halo 2 is not coming early. Neither is a demo. Santa Claus isn't real either.

Ilovebees is a viral marketing campaign, pure and simple, and the very purpose of it is to get people worked up to generate the hype for them. Microsoft and Bungie get to sit back, and watch the millions of hits to the ILB site. Then everyone gets talking about it in forums, then it gets picked up by the media (just saw a bit on it on Pulse tonight) then you get everybody wondering, "What's going on? What's this have to do with Halo 2?". Then the BIG marketing blitz starts with the commercials and ads.

Sorry to make an example of you, Stormy 151, but there's a lot of you out there...

The field seems to be evenly divided over this ILB issue. Yes, something will happen, or No nothing will happen. But what we need to avoid in our exchange of ideas is this cynical bastardism which envelopes anyone who enters a conversation unwilling to listen, think, or research the topic, yet willing to personally attack a person or group of people.
The mods, frustrated with the issue of drudging thru hundreds of pages of unbacked speculation, are guilty of taking sides as well, and not answering questions and remaining neutral. (look up the definition of "moderator" guys.)

If we're going to debate, let's do it like civilized adults, and present our evidence for our side (yes FACTUAL evidence) and not get into a shouting match. Act appropriately, the mods can't police everything.

No worries. My post may be a bit reactionary, but its mainly directed at the "STFU U DO NOT WORK 4 BUNGIE" people.

I mean, you can believe whatever you want to believe. You can read anything into Ilovebees you want, I just don't want to wade through any complaining when the 24th rolls around and there's no demo or release.

I agree about the mods being frustrated, I can relate. I mod a few forums myself. I don't envy them their job here, that's for sure.

Hey, it's just that anyone who spends a half-hour on this forum hears every stinking argument there is, and they start to repeat. a lot. then it goes to agruing/shouting...no more discussion or debate. Everyone has lost it at least once now, I think... you got one of thebest attitudes yet, Stormy
