Bungie has not denied the Aug. 24th release! Look how quick they were to stop the "Hand Held Halo" rumor. This one is 100 times bigger, if not more! If that release date were false, don't you think they would have shot it down?

that sounds like a good idea., space ops. Right now, i could go for some Halo.

Btw, all i'm doing is pointing out flaws, speculating. There is no actual proof that is comes out the 24th...

...yet

Since I love chaos, and confusion and whatnot, I'll tell you this. When I went into Blockbuster and asked an associate when they'll get in Halo 2, she said September 7th. I was astonished and asked her to double check, but before she could say anything, the store manager came by and told me it'll be there November 11th. He also gave her a very curious look. Almost as if he was angry. She then didn't say anything else and walked away.

maybe it's all a big conspiracy and bungie hasn't told any retailers, and will just ship it, the reaction to stores and consumers alike would be funny...i'm not saying it's coming out on august 24th, because i for one believe it's coming on Nov 9, but I would have to laugh, and applaud Bungie for their balls.


lol i work for game in the uk
and if halo 2 just turned up one day i would .....
1. pass out
2. wet myself
3.tell my boss to stick my job up his butt
4. run home crying with joy
5. kick open my front door and tell my family i hate them (keeps them away)
6.pass out with stress/happiness

guys (and gals if there are ne) I have simple solution to all of this aug 24 is a tuesday, so most of u can plan early in the morning, go out to where you buy ur games for xbox, go in and c if they released halo2, if not u have 77 more days to wait.
ikno most of u are for the sake of argument, but honestly it doesnt matter when it comes out, it matters if ur able to get or not

I hope it comes out Aug. 24th, that would be sweet cutting off like 4 months of the wait, but I dont see it happening, I mean they still have the beta copies out with the microsoft employees, i cant see them having the game finished and shipped within 24 days I just highly doubt it will happen, it would be nice though, scince i could have like 6 days of summer vacation left to play halo 2 constantly

Hey HaloFreak thats a really bad point...
I mean Bungie has a weird sense of humor..
People at Bungie are laughing at the ideas spit out by everyeon about ilovebees and aug 24.
I think bungie hasent said anything about it because they are still laughing to hard...

Rift, you can't make assumptions on what Bungie is or isnt doing.

Great point Halo Freak


I think it may come out on August 24th. Even though November is the largest shopping month of the year (in the US) I think that Halo 2 will be released early. My theory has a few factors.
1: Popularity, all of the people who preordered would get their copies of Halo 2 on August 24th if it was released on that date, it will be a good game so word of mouth popularity will spread by the time November roles around it's Christmas time. Little Timmy heard that Halo 2 was a great game, so his mom buys him Halo 2 for this Christmas, and if he doesn't have an XBOX he can get the bundled pack, his favourite game for free along with a new system for the price of the system. So basically this builds up popularity for the Holiday season shoppers and potentially untapped market/non-XBOX owners.

2: Competition, all of the other companies are releasing their big guns in the Holiday Season, sure there is numerous ammount of profit to be made, but it's supply and demand game. So basically Bungie has been making profit since August on Halo 2, without competition from other FPS franchises, it may force them (other FPS game companies) to put out early or may not. But the lack of competition from an early release gives the gamer one game to buy that is Halo 2.

Now it may not come out on August 24th but those are reasons it might

What the heck are you talking about?

  • 07.30.2004 2:24 PM PDT

I like my Covenant like i like my woman, screamin and with a sticky on there face.

i think it would be great if it came out in the summer instead of ther middle of school.
maybe they might do this because think about the lines at the stores if people know it's coming out on nov9 it would pack the malls. but in this case it would have a less amount of people at once but may create confuse and panic so that is the upside and downside of this
i do doubt it will come out the 24th but who knows

I go around the world leaving a path of destruction in my wake. When I come to a city, grown men cry and women wail. I collect the skulls of my enemies and display them for all to see.........I also kick puppies. For fun.

Yeah maybe Bungie realized that releasing the game during the school year would cause too many truencies (sp?) and dropouts so they wanted to release it sooner. I personally hope it comes out the 24th, but it seems so unlikely.
