They wouldn't be sitting around playing Halo 2 so close to the release.


They would be sitting around playing halo 2 IF, if, the game was nearly finished with the exception of the odd bug. The weekly updates, for all we know could be weeks or months old.

While the game is being manufactored, what are all those people going to do. Nothing is going be able to change once they start manufactoring, so I figure 75 days until all the artist/desingers etc are done.

The game is fairly close to completion and the game goes gold which means its done and ready to be made into CDs around only a week before the game comes out

probably beta testers coming in to show bungie some bugs etc.. thats the best reason that i can come up with..


I think someone hit the nail on the head...

Finishing it up and working out all the rest of the software bugs.. They are going to have to move like a bat out of hell to get the game completed and shipped by November 9th..

If a game went gold - and came out a week later then they would only be making about 150,000 copies.
Look up the CD molding process from Sony Manu - in Pitman, New Jersey..

I don't care what happens on the 24th of August as long as Halo 2 is bug-free and 100% bungie-approved when I get it, whether that is the 24th of Aug. or the 9th of Nov.!

That's a smart attitude. I hope it's bug free...

I've checked the webcams a few times in the past couple of days, and have seen quite a bit of (what appears to be Halo 2 gaming). I don't want to be one that says it will come out the 24th of August. But, I find it kind of humorous that habitual flamers insist that the game's not that close to being finished. However, with all the gameplay (allegedly), it appears that they're sort of teasing us. I mean, Look in Webcam 2 right now!

That's because you lazy American bastards could only make 150,000 copies a week--Bungie needs like a million.

Its a saturday! If you worked at Bungie, what would you be doing? PLAYING HALO 2! Duh people. If H2 was somehow going to be released August 24th, do you know how much of an overhaul they would be in? Minor bugs can ruin a game. Do you know how many people stoped playing on Pandora Tommorow because of all the bugs. Bungie is probably going to be spending the next 75 days hammering out bugs and glitches, AND TESTING GAMEPLAY. They wouldn't be sitting around playing Halo 2 so close to the release.


HAHAHA Pandora Tomorrow wasn't wrecked by a minor bug, It was a MAJOR bug! You could warp anywhere in the level and go through walls!

hey, i'm not disagreeing with the august 24th release date theory, but i'm just saying that wouldn't it be smarter for bungie to release halo 2 during the holiday season and just hype the game for the next couple of months so EVERYONE will be begging parents/friends/ spouses to get them halo 2 for christmas


Not really, because if you see, Microsoft has 2 big games that will come out during "christmas time" and they wouldnt want to compete with themselves (that woud be Fable and Jade Empire). So by releasing Halo 2 on Agust 24th, people will buy it the day it comes, so by Christmas they will have the money for Jade Empire and/or Fable.

another theory about holidays\release dates, is that if Bungie really takes off with this game then they might have a major problem keeping it in stock. With that as a definate possibility, then wouldn't you want to have more time (say 4 months) to make more copies and make everyone happy come X-mas time. A month and a half would create huge problems if there was a serious supply shortage. An August release date would allow for buying in waves, EG. 1) Pre-Orders and serious gamers. 2) Gamers who missed the pre-order boat 3) General public sales and finally 4) Holiday sales. It wouldn't be exactly like that but it's an example. Plus this way MS could have more freedom with their production facilities when the holidays roll around.

LOL CD Pressing is a delicate process - you can only do it so fast or you get imperfections...

I don't know a whole lot more as I worked there for only a month. But the idea is there..

Unless it goes gold August 24, and releases November 9. Then they have almost 2 1/2 months to crank out copies.

  • 07.31.2004 4:18 PM PDT

[color=white]And they do need a lot of copies....[/color]

That makes sense...

Going gold on Halo 2 IS a big event, at least around here...
