A few days ago I was saying that there was no way in hell of a release of a demo or full release of a game on the 24th.

Well, now my theory has changed and I am starting to catch on here.

Frankie clearly did not mention the ilovebees.com website in his update.
At all.
He didnt even acknowledge its existance.
What we have here is a top secret plan.
This ain't to "cortana letters" type thing. This countdown actually pertains to a release of either a demo or a game.

Now dont come and say, "IT SAYS NOVEMBER 9th! THATS WHEN IT IS SO SHUT UP!"

Because, clearly, Bungie is getting ratings in the UK, Germany, and the USA.

DING DONG ANYONE HOME!?

I have asked several sources this:
"Is a game done when the ESRB rating is given?"

In all cases I have recieved a "yes" because the game must be done for people to play it and see whether or not it is "M" or "T" or "E" or "Ao" or "eC"

Now combining in these factors, the fact that Frankie said nothing about it in the update, and the GIVEAWAY, the ESRB rating...i think it is clear that something rather large is going to happen.

The only fault in this theory is that Bungie would have to tell all magazines to be ready to review the game.

BUT
The thing is, all the gaming sites, all the magazines, they all know what is going on. They have been informed. The public has not.
Perhaps they were told that they would be recieving a reviewable copy of Halo 2 soon. Who knows,

And to finish this post in an off-topic way:
I saw the Manchurian Candidate last night.
Go see it now it should be nominated in several catagories.
It is clearly one of the scariest movies ever created.
Go see it now.

well you're right about the ESRB thing. But why would someone tatoo November 9 on their body, if it wasn't coming outn on November 9?

The tatoo isn't real. Also, which issue of egm are you talking about?

Or it could just be a demo (I wish it were the actual game, but either is better than nothing); and the tattoo was for the actual release date. I bet it was fake though, I mean it wasn't even a cool tattoo...

For all we know SPDR could mean silly purple dumb racoon.

Ok to start off. No one at Bungie is saying anything about ilovebees. Second off with the esrb thing, i was in another argument about the same thing and I will tell you what I told the guy. Have you ever heard of the Games "Star Wars BattleFront, THe Red Star, or Tiger Woods PGA World Tour 2005." All of them are unfinished games. BattleFront will be released on 9/20 as well as Tiger Woods., and the Red star will be released on 9/6. Unfinished games right. Go to the esrb website and look up the games. All of them are rated. Tiger will be everyone, Red Star will be Teen and so will Star Wars. So there is proof that they dont have to have a finished game to rate it, and besides what other rating would H2 get. Its too violent for the T and not violent enough for the A. I could have told you the Day H2 was announced that it would be M. The game is not done.

i think EGM might have a copy of halo 2 because they said this guy went on a top secret trip to an undisclosed location concerning next months cover story, could this be him picking up a copy of halo 2 to review?

Like, before I didnt believe it really, but now I am relitively sure of it.
Skeptics all say that its coming out on the 9th because of the tatoo, but hello, that tatoo was fake I read that on ign.

Seriously, something extremely big is going on here because he didnt even MENTION it in the update at ALL. He could have said something like, "Bee good or else." or somethign stupid like that.

Yeah.
Something big is happening.
