They send Review copies of the game to magazines and major gaming websites for reviews. Which can be done a week or 2 before release.

And they havent reviewed halo 2 because either
A.) theyre doing it now or
B.) Game isnt done yet.

this quote is getting way to long, but anyway, its not a change of heart ive always been a skeptic that its coming out on the 24th im with a lot of people in the fact that more and more evidence is coming out and im not really sure what to think, and im providing evodence for both sides

A GAME DOESNT HAVE TO BE FINSIHED TO BE RATED

God, when will people get the message. You can show a game very early in devolpment as long as you show the most bloodly, horrible and the most bad language. As long as you don't make anything more bloodly etc. your fine. The ERSB rating has nothing to do with an early release. SO STOP USING IT AS ONE.

Of course it does, otherwise Powerpuff girls could get an E, then put naked girl pictures in it.

well we do know that to get an ESRB rating it doesn't have to be complete, i agree with you on that, but we have no clue about the european system, for all we know they could require a pretty much complete game

I say that if it comes out the 9th then the game will be better because they got 2 more months to work on it

Yea but if it's done, what's the point. I guess they could start work on X-box live stuff, but i fear they may screw up and have to the delay the game. If it's done, they should just let itt come out and have two more months to sell the game.

Im saying that in that time they could maybe... add a new weapon, make a new gametype, have an extra cinema. They could do a lot in 2 months

well then they have to program it, then bug test. Like i said, they might do it, but what if they don't. It's better to release the game When they think it's done, then try to add things. Live content could work, but i would rather have the game now, then have the game in two months with a few more maps.

May cost more money and I would rather have it off the bat then having to learn about it later and develope new strategies, plus many people dont have XBL so they wouldnt be able to download it

We dont even know if the game is done, and in the long run wouldnt it be better to have those weapons or gametypes than not have them at all i think so

Thats why you pay for XBL....for extra cool stuff. It's not free you know.
And if you were to want the extra cool stuff, you would have to get XBL now wouldnt ya.

It cant be easy for all of us.

I really dont think you should have to pay to play on Live. Most pc games are free and you get a bunch of free downloads.

Many people like me simply cant get XBl do to the fact that we dont have high speed internet. and there are way more people who will have Halo2 that dont have XBl than the people with XBL Halo sold over 4 million copies, and only 1 million XBL subscribers

Yes you're right. But that doesnt mean Bungie should weaken the XBL experience because most people don't have XBL. The Main objective behind Microsoft and Bungie, is to use Halo 2 to get way more XBL subscribers. So, want to think about getting Dsl or Cable =D

And Bungie did say they were also going to make a fun enjoyable game out of Halo 2 for people without XBL. Hence the system link is back, and Co-Op and Split Screen. So there. Sadly they will not include everything they want in time for release. I bet a few months after release Bungie will be thinking. "Hey wouldn't it be cool if halo 2 had this?!?......Lets make it downlaodable for the fans"

All Im saying is it would be better off to have the stuff to begin with. Were both entitled to our own opinions, and my opinion is like whacking it The longer you hold it in the better it feels when your at the best part. I would much rather be patiant and have a better game

I can see what you mean, but just look at ninja gaiden. I believe tommorow theyre releasing basically a whole new game over xbl. New enemies, new weapons, new costumes, new moves, new battle engine, new camera. I mean they could always do that, and they're also gonna plan on selling it in stores too. So people without xbl could have it.

But i dont know about you but id rather have the game as it is right now, than wait for NOvember 9th. At least a demo to keep us busy. XBL or not.

Alright, as too whoever said multioplayer isn;t finished thats impossible, I LAUGH MY ASS OF AT YOU! The game has been in production for 2 YEARS and close to 5 MONTHS. IF THEY CANT DO ALL THAT IN THAT TIME THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

Yea seriously. Im thinking its done. Theyre just perfecting small bugs and glitches. But basic game is most likely near completion if not already complete.
