Being a European gamer (from the UK), I am outraged to find out that the release date for halo2 is 2 days later here in the UK.

Firstly "WHO THE **** WOULD PUT US THROUGH THE PAIN OF BEING ON XBL ALONE FOR 2 DAYS WITH NO AMERICANS - I mean it will be great but we need players! WHILST YOU ******* AMERICANS CAN PLAY THAT FOR 48 MORE HOURS THAN US!"

Secondly "why?" Of course all games come out here later then the US but please tell me why only two days! It was scheduled as a worldwide release!

I will even go to America for those two days so I have it first!

STOP CHANGING THE ****** RELEASE DATE!

We have had enough with this CRAP!

Any European gamers out there who agree?

AND NOW I AM TOLD THAT THE FRENCH WILL GET IT A DAY EARLIER! "Except that is, if you live in either France, Switzerland or Belgium, who are set to get the game a whole day earlier on the 10th, due to the 11th being a bank holiday. 125 days and counting then... "

I understand that some of you will be thinking that I am a crazed lunatic - well I am! ITS THE MOST ANTICIPATED GAME FOR EVER!

I may go to FRANCE FOR A DAY AND PICK IT UP!!!

But there is not enought time to get it shipped from the US and I have fricking skl!

The less avid amoungst you will b saying why wont this guy give up??? Its only 2 days!

Well thats a long ******* time thank you very much!

I have waited half my life for release dates to be put back and back and now another two days!

The much more enthusiastic gamers will agree with me that 2 days is a long time...so why dont you "yanks" come over here for a couple of days during the launch!?!?!?!?!

Sorry if this post was offensive to anyone - I am simply ANGRY :@ - as msn says!

File Share - Check out my latest map Paradigm.

I think Americans should have the privilege of playing it first seeing how it was made in America. Those Japanese do it all the time.

Mate, I know your angry, but two days really isn't a big deal. Im from the UK, too, by the way.

Complaining about it wont help. If you want to know why then blame all your stores there because they need shipments in on Thursay, and Microsoft doesnt trust them not to release the game when they get it (the Thursday before November 9th), so because of their shipments being in on a certain day, and Microsoft not trusting them means you have to wait 2 more days till November 11th (Thursday)

Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

The trick is knowing who to order from. I use a "certain internet company", from who i ordered Splinter Cell PT. It was due for release on Friday. I got it Thursday. Now, if you make me an interesting offer i may reveal my source...

I am an American. However, I too think it should be released at the same date everywhere, like the third Matrix installment.

I haven't seen anything official said on the subject of when the rest of Europe get Halo 2. In fact, Halo 2 currently only has an official release date in the US and the UK.

1. Japs is not an acceptable term.
2. We're not getting Fable first, even though we made it.

I live overseas in Japan, I have no idea how long it will take to get here, probally 2 weeks. So you stop complaining, at least you have an exact date, mine will get here really late without any particulaur date.
