1. Both Microsoft and Bungie said it will come out on Nov. 9. They both have it listed on their websites and it has been stated many times by MS and Bungie officials it would come out on Nov 9. Never once has it been said by either of those companies that it would come out on August 24.

2. They already started advertising that it will come out on Nov. 9. They spent millions of dollars on merchandise, posters, theatrical trailers and various other things that all say it will come out on Nov 9. Why would they spend all of that money saying its comeing out Nov. 9 and then switch it to an earlier date?

3. In this weeks update Frankie said it is NEARLY complete, he never said it is complete. He also said that it is still broken and untextured at times. With that in mind, it would almost be impossible to complete the game, finish testing so there wont be any bugs, send it out to make the million+ copies of and then ship all of those copies to all of the retailers worldwide that would be selling it. All that would have to be done in less than 24 days.

4. Mass marketing hasnt started for it yet. True some marketing has started, but not alot. It wouldnt really be that smart of an idea to start selling a game when no form of advertisment has been done saying it would come out on Aug. 24. All marketing that has been done so far said that it would come out in November. And about 98% of everybody who wants to buy Halo 2 thinks it is coming out on Nov. 9. So it wouldnt really sell that well at first when everyone, except some, believe it is coming out in November. It would be bad for business if it was released early without any prior notice when the majority of people thinks its coming out three months later.

5. NOTHING has been said that it is coming out on August 24. Everything says its coming out Nov 9. It is only speculation that it is coming out in August. And just because a timer ends on the 24th doesnt mean that it is going to be released that day. True, something is going to happen that day but Halo 2 isnt going to release that day. Get over it already, Halo 2 is going to come out on November 9.

Everything i mentioned above is based on facts, not speculation like the August 24 release date is based off of.

Why another thread?

Could you not have put this in any of the million halo 2 release date topics?

Why must everyone keep making new post after new post about it when there are plenty of threads to choose from?

AUGUST 24: a day that will forever live in infamy as the day that hundreds of wannabe Bungie fanboys commit suicide because they could not handle the truth that Halo 2 doesnt come out till Nov 9th

well all i got to say is, it coming out early is not impossible, you are acting like you know whats going to happen, like you know more then the people on these forums, well the truth is, you dont work for bungie, and just because you think certain things doesnt mean they are true.

First off none of what you said really proves anything. For Instance, if they were planing a supprise release..THEY WOULDN"T TELL ANYONE!!!! Also, nearly complete, who says he's not putting out propaganda, you can't really trust anyone who works for microsoft/bungie.

With that said, it really could be 24th or 9th, most likley 9th I say, but not sure

I never said it is impossible that it could come out early. I just said its not coming out on August 24 and that Bungie and Microsoft both siad its coming out on Nov. 9. I also added some other things that i heard from other people, but i never said it is impossible to come out early. And i'm not acting like i know more than other people on these forums or that i know what is going to happen. I am just stating things that Bungie said and things they did or are doing. And you are 100% correct on one thing, i dont work for Bungie, but that doesnt mean i dont follow the things they do. And i dont think it is coming out on Nov. 9, i know it is coming out on Nov. 9 because both Bungie and Microsoft said it is which makes it true.

some of these people have their hopes up so high, that it's scary. They vehemiently argue their case even though they have no evidence and Nov 9th has ample...

But remember a few things Bungie is owned by Microsoft!! They are famous for lying about things and releasing things early from what I remember. Also, if they told you to stick your finger in a light socket cause it is not harmeful..would you believe them then? Of course not cause you know that is not true. Something is about to go down in a few weeks that is Halo 2 releated. Has anyone else noticed that almost every single picture of the people playing Halo 2 there was either a Halo 2 poster or something that said Halo 2/ or was referring to Halo 2??? Makes you wonder why they are showing Halo 2 like crazy just after the Halo 2 movie trailer with the "ilovebees.com" stuff. HMMMMMMMM

Can someone answer this question for me??!! If all of this 8/24 stuff is so FALSE, then why hasn't Bungie/MS come out and shot this down before it has gotten out of control?! Usually they shoot most of these theories down very QUICKLY if they are false..correct me if I am wrong.
