I made this thread in response to Bray d's and I hope you have any ideas.

1. Bray d says that bungie officialy released the date and stickin to the november 9 date. It was probably said so that it would be a surprise. If you guessed you birthday present and got it right would your parents tell a lie to make you think you diddnt get it but infact you did.

2. Bray d says that Bungie spent alot of money on merchandise and advertising on the release of halo 2 to come out on November 9. Well Spending all that money might make you believe that way say it would build up the surprise if it is released on august 24

3. Bray d says that That there was no time bungie ever declared it would be released on the 24 in the past. Well wouldnt that be surprising if you didnt know now wouldnt it.

4. Bray d says that frankie says that the game is nearly complete well look at it this way Frankie works for Bungie so he might be in on the little secret in order for you to think that it was still comin out in november.

5. Bray d says mass marketing hasnt started yet. LOL you think maybe the word of mouth bungie mightve had when a halo fanboy (I think there as many of thoose around Im one of them) went to the movie theater saw the teaser trailer and noticed for a brief second the website under the logo quickly changed from xbox.com to Ilovebees.com and quickly shanges back so then the fanboy went to Ilovebees.com and told everybody he knew about this amazing discovery. I have to hand it to bungie if thats true then thats realy goog cheap marketing.

6.Then frankie says that the game is "untextured" and "untested" well bungie realy made you believe that its comin out november 9 rather than the hinted August 24. would you be surprised if you thought it was comin out one day and came out sooner. It would make you happy if it came out sooner. Bungie never listed said what timeframe theese weekly updates take place so maybe they were a record of weeks past or were fabricated.

Well I want to leave on a final note that maybe Bray d is maybe correct and if not theese are the reasons why. I think bungie made everything seem it was coming out 11/9 when its realy coming out on 8/24 and you found out that website had this information and you tell all your freinds witch get built up with even more anticipation this is probably some elaborate marketing scheme. It might even be that Ilovebees.com hinted about the storyline and/or release date or none at all just to build up anticipation whatever it is BUNGIE HAS MY SOUL
and another thing do you think you would continue to remember an incident of this mgnitude and be more of a bungie fan if this in meant halo 2 will be released early

we probably wont have to wait until aug 24th to find out. im guessing that it will be made public on the 10th of Aug that halo 2 will ship early. ilovebees also counts down to aug 10th when the medium ( media ) will metastasize.

Didn't like one of the people who work for bungie get a tattoo that said like 11/9 or Nov 9 or something like that showing that the game will finally come out then. I may be wrong, but why would he do that if its coming out the 24th?

yes they would have to say something about it befor it came out else some people still would not know, however the people who have pre-ordered it get a phone call saying its in and i do not no about u guys but i pre-ordered mine and any way i go in to town most days any way so it would not matter

so in conclusion there is a good chance of it coming out early!

I have heard your points and here I have thought up of a reply. that guy with the tatto he maybe contributing to the Bungies surprise or he maybe have thought what bungie maybe wants you to think.

About the pre-order thing I was sceptic about the whole thing till I called ebgames about my order and they said that the release date had been erased from the list and became tbd but he maybe stupid.

Well they might have not told you about anything so they can make it a SURPRISE Of course the august 24 relase is wishful thinking

It also helps explain the lax of update info given out by Bungie

All right a place holder tattoo is sort of a drawing thing it marks out the area usally if you go to a good tattoo artist it'll last a few days but if u dont it wont even last an hour because itll be smuged

You know what, there is alot of good reasons why it can come out on aug 24th, but than there are good reasons that it wont come out until Nov 9th. I think nov 9th is it, but dont go thinking i dont want it to come out on aug 24th. If it came out Aug 24th, i would be -blam!-in dancing around.

Im very interested it seems that all the information that we might seem to be getting maybe false information making us believe halo 2 is coming out aug 24
now there are only two options the information given to us might be either true halo 2 comes out on November or false Halo2 probably might come out on august 24 It seems pretty skewed towards false beause why would they bother making a subliminal mess in a teaser trailer that is only SHOWN IN THEATERS it is probably a elaborate marketing technique to get cheap and very effective publicity.

Listen, the countdown ends the same day that OXM is releasing its Holiday Preview guide. Which will probably have a halo 2 single player demo. The game wont come out then. Maybe the reason bungie is being a little lax on the updates is that maybe they want us to think that the game comes out the 24. Trying to trick us. Keep us talking. Put it this way I would rather have a Nov 9 releas over Aug 24 anyday

Sure it might be cheap effective publicity, but only for hardcore gamers. I can garantee you that 90% of the people wanting to buy H2 have no clue about this ilovebees thing. This is good to stir up us hardcore gamers that love this stuff. Lets say a day before the 24 everyone thinks that h2 will be out tomorrow. Then it doesnt come out. Then everyon will be pissed off, but then they will want the game even more because they thought they were so close and with all this talk it got them even more interested. That my friend is brilliant marketing. I must say Microsoft and Bungie are geniuses for doing this.

Ive seen that and then I remembered there is an esrb rating on the game and you know what that means obviously they reviewed a final build why does it have to be a final build you ask simple they have to review a final build because if they give them any other things might change between that and the final. my nswer to your question is this why would they relase a demo when the game is already done. and another thing if you guys notice you play a demo about a game that hasnt come out yet it says rated pending meaning they havnt reviewed the final product because they know things can change between the demo and the final product

Ok kiddies Thank You for the constructive answers ive been getting keep them up and maybe I can recant your descision

Its not only for the hardcore gamer obviously a hardcore gamer stumbled upon a thread about this incident and suddenly read more and more becoming intrigued to solve the puzzle anyone can know because it only takes 1 harcore gamer to make 1 post so that everyone else can see it then they would tell their friends on so on its not realy that hard. I came across it because a freind told me about it which is probably what bungie had in mind.

The only thing I suspect is going to happen on the 24th. Is that the oxm holiday guide will have some new info and new screens that is about it I think. Of course I could be wrong something else could happen but I doubt it.
