Subject: August 24th connection with Doom 3 and Half-Life 2?

Hello,
Now I highly doubt that Halo 2 would come out any earlier than November 9th, but I was thinking: what if Microsoft had gotten wind of the fact that Half-Life 2 is coming out mid - to late September (According to an article on Gamespy.com) and the fact that Doom 3 is due to hit store shelves next week for the PC? Maybe Microsoft doesn't want Halo 2 to be left in the wake after the other two most highly anticipated FPS's come out? Just a thought.

But you just answered your own question. If the game doesn't come out before November 9th... then it will be the last of the three... unless somebody steals HL 2's source code again.

Doom 3 hits Xbox on October 5th, too. A good point. And by analogy remember that Microsoft's Objective #1 for "Xbox Next" is to beat Sony's PS3 to market. Your observation lends itself to a theory certainly plausible. BTW, why does everyone say "I know it won't come out until Nov. 9th"? I think you guys are afraid to get your hopes up. Dare to dream, baby!

it would obviously be great if H2 came out "early"... but do they really have anything to fear in D3X? people are going to buy all three H2, HL2 and D3... but pushing it up wouldnt hurt...

granted I will play H2 more than the others.. probably wont even buy D3...

I think Halo 2 will hold it's ground towards Doom 3, but not half life 2. Half life 2 has so much more technology and graphics behind it that it would take away from the shine of halo 2, and early release would be good for halo 2.

No I disagree, h2 Will be the best fps this year. Graphics aside halo was very invotive. I actually felt a soldier in a war. Bungie did it right the first time. I am really looking forward to halo2

Hl2 has better graphics, physics, and A.I. Those are big things that can sell a game. I think aug 24th does seem like a good time to launch with the everything that is going on, but if they truely are still in beta i don't see it happening.
