Then explain to me what I love bees then if you know its coming out on the 9th. Of course Frankie is going to say that. Mass marketing would have to at the most start the 10th. I don't know when it is coming out and neither do you. So you don't know anything and I don't know anything.


ILB is a website that has a countdown clock. It could mean thousands of different things, in my opinion i think it is when a demo would be released. As for the release date Bungie annouced it to the world that it will come out November 9. So, one could only assume it is coming out November 9.

wrong they do need to sahut down the 24th rumor if it isn't true because they made Ilovebees and they knew this was going to happen.


Please use punctuation and sentence structure.. I have known about Bungie for a LONG time and they have never lied before. And we know one thing, It's coming out on the 9th -- of November.

we only need to wait until Aug 10th. Bungie will announce to the public that halo 2 will be released on Aug 24th 2 weeks later. 2 weeks is plenty of time to build up the hype b4 the early release

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...


NONE of that evidence is conclusive and could be bs made by microsoft/bungie. Don't be dumb..think. They are running this whole show, they arn't gonna ruin it.


Conclusive: decisive, convincing; putting an end to debate

Bungie: "Halo 2 will be released on November 9th"

Did I leave anything out?

no one ever said that november 9 is not just the day the covies attack earth it might not be a release date just the day (in-game) that the covies attack earth, it might also be the day a super special edition of Halo 2 comes out either way bungie wasted no money on advertisements or merchandise

Maybe I'm just naturally optimistic, but if any of you have ever studied or read up on marketing, the date is irrelevent, it is building anticipation that is important. If they announced a revision that Halo 2 was actually coming out october 15th will it change anything? No, the date is not the important part of adverising. Come on, think about it, a site with so many hits, a mystery that is even reported by IGN, the obsession of fan boys and ARG gamers, I think that is clever marketing. We would not be having this conversation if it was not having an effect on our thinking about halo 2 would we?

Can you think of any marketing ideas that would attract more attention than a new release date? Bungie and microsoft could spend tens of millions of dollars, and it would still not get as much attention. And if anything is announced on the 10th, there will be a huge two week buildup of hype on the internet, so huge even CNN will air a story about it...That is the way to get attention.

My money is on a demo. Why go to all this trouble for screenshots?

If I worked for Bungie I wouldn't bother to end this debate. I would laugh my ass off at people who think it is coming out in August.

Maybe not laugh my ass off, but I wouldn't try to end a lot of hype about the game I'm making either.

Have they said that it will come out the 24. NO. Have they said it will come out the 9th. A MILLION TIMES. The reason they arent saying anything about it is to keep us guessing and to keep the buzz up so we get other people excited and they get others and down the chain until everyone was talking about this possibility of an early release. If they put the topic to rest this forum would los like 90% of its interest. Have you noticed this has been talked about more than anything else Halo 2. They want us to talk and its working, and their reaping the benafits of not having to use expensive marketing, but underground means that work better

The only proof that H2 is coming out the 24th is a countdown that could mean a million things. There is a possibility it will come out early, but a countdown doesnt justify a new release assuradely or even remotely

Wouldnt they have to be psychic to know when its going gold. It could be an announcement on that day that it has already gone gold, but how would they know the day it goes gold?

Well, they can schedule the hell out of it, and they can save the finishing touches for the day before... They don't have to be Psychic, just really good planners.

Bungie said that halo 2 will come out on Nov 9, bungie also never said that halo 2 will not come out on aug 24, thus giving me proof and bungies word.
