You know usually, the censorship sytem is one of the last stages of the game. I mean, why get it rated now when it could all change... unless it couldn't...

you may have read this but here you go

First of all. Halo 2 is the biggest thing to hit the Xbox, so we know that Microsoft will advertise the hell out of it because they know their going to make a crap load of money off it. The only advertisement for it really is that trailer that started all this. No commercials, magazine add, nothing. And I bet you that a month or so before it comes out, NOVEMBER 9th, we wont be able to watch anything without HAlo 2 commercials. Secondly, To ship the game to all the retailers it would take days and maybe weeks to first off, make enough games to sell to everyone, and then they'd have to ship it all, which could take several days and weeks for that, and the 24th is 24 days away only 3 weeks, not a lot of time. Plus all the retailers would have make a preorder on how many games they want, and they would have had to have (whoah) already done that, and someone in some store would say the news that they did do that. Another thing is that I saw an episod of Pulse on g4techtv that said on Aug 24 that there would be a single player demo with the OXM Holiday Preview. Also it would be stupid to release the game this early. It wouldnt be as fun as if it was released in Nov (they could add a whole new level to the multiplayer in that time, or a whole new gametype. Nov is the beggining of the Holiday season and old uncles and parents that know nothing of ilovebees and Aug 24 are going to be buying little jonny his christmas gift of this new game that EB games has posters advertisising it becuse it is a new game and a huge game, so they will buy that game because its new and well advertised, whereas if it was 2 months old it wouldn't be as special. THere are hundreds of more reasons why Halo 2 is coming out Nov 9, but i simply have wasted enough time with this lenghty article and i wont indulge in anythign else. ANy skeptics of what I have just wrote should consider this question. Why in the hell would Bungie, Microsoft, and every on else say the Halo 2 is coming out is coming out Nov 9 and then actually put it on the shelves in Aug 24th when the non-hardcore gamers, that know nothing of ilovebees yet still want to buy Halo, aren't expecting it to come out. It doesn;t make any sense. Sorry for making you read all this but i am bored and a little frustrated.

Probabilty of Halo 2 coming out on Aug 24th, the same probability as Captain Keyes being in Halo 2.

Realy do you think that all this hard work about putting a hidden message in theaters all for some info and screens it may be a halo 2 review if you closley about it cause that would only be the most reasonable for that kind of effort.

For the censorship thing. How do you know that they have to play the final game, I mean its not like its rocket science The difference between a T game and an M game is huge and it only takes a little bit of Halo to realize htat there is language and blood, and there is no way Bunggie will release a Ma or what is it A

Ya a review would be reasonable. But why on the same day as the game is released would they have a Holday PREVIEW guide with Halo 2

I can almost garantee that OXM will have the first review of the game and why would they put out a preview guide the same day when a Review woudl be more inclined

Bent twog you certainly are an idiot IF anything I said was true then everything they did (Bungie and Microsoft ) was only a setup to keep the releas date a secret remember halo 2 was spose to come out last november do you think it is possible to have a year delay.

honestly you guys gota put 2 and 2 together

AS bungie said in a build anything and everything could change and you also have to look at the fact that only final builds get reviewed.

why would Bungie say then "Halo 2 will be released Nov 9" And why would everyone else say that man. I agree in what you say that there is a lot of hype over this to only release a single player demo and some screens, but maybe theres there will be something else like a a XBL demo, i just cant in my right mind think that it will come out this early

Of course everything would make sense if I mean cmon IF ANYTHING I SAY IS TRUE than bungie might be giving misleading information and to things where you least expect it.

When they say preview guide they mean PREVIEW. If it had a review in it it would be a "Preview guide with a Big Reveiw"

I agree with bent twig on his last post if it was an xbox live demo I dont know still wont be worth it but you also have to think the game was due last year.

Another thing is that the Beta was released not to long ago. Normally betas are released months before the final release, because there is so much to test.

AS I SAID YOU WOULDNT EXPECT A REVIEW AN A PREVIEW GUIDE MAKES IT MORE MYSTERIOUS UNTIL THE TIME THE MAG COMES OUT. REMEMBER ALOT OF THINGS I SAY IS WISHFULL THINKING BUT IT COULD STILL BE TRUE.
