Well in my opinion if they go gold(aka start manufacturing it) in Agust 10 they have enough time to make enough copies as well as to ship them. But yeah...we will see..

I figure I'd put my prediction in. My guess is that August 24th will be the day that Halo 2 is officially announced as going gold, not to mention the OXM issue which will go further in depth in Halo 2. Not saying everyone else is wrong however that's what I think and the only way we're going to know beyond a shadow of a doubt is to wait about three more weeks.

From a purely marketing standpoint it seems highly unlikely the release date is August 24. Is the release of Xbox's biggest game to date and likely the year's best game really going to get absolutely zero advertisement on TV? Is one trailer at one company's movie theaters supposed to somehow announce to everyone interested in Halo 2 that the game will be released on August 24, given:

1) the fact that only a very small percentage of the audience MSFT is trying to reach actually got to see the trailer in the theater (later rectified by Internet) and
2) the fact that the trailer itself said November 9?

What's the point of spending money on inaccurate advertisement? I'll be the first one to eat my words if it's Aug 24, but frankly there's no market-conscious way that Halo 2 is coming out on Aug 24. Besides, only a small niche of the people that actually saw the trailer even recognized and remembered the ilovebees link, and an even smaller amount went to the site. Further, a much smaller group placed any significance whatsoever in a date on the website, and a still further miniscule group related it somehow to Halo 2; finally, an infinitesimally smaller number (the few clowns that keep posting about it) put any thought into it at all between handfuls of Cheetos and sips of that 3rd soda in the last hour and a half. Whoever thought unanswerable posts like "what's your favorite part about Halo 2?" would be so welcome now?

ok the trailer in the theaters like i said earlier didnt say it was coming out November 9th, it just siad november 9th. It alos just said novemeber 9th and not november 9th, 2004.
the Novemeber 9th in that video is referring to when the covenant invade earth in the halo timeline in the year 2355. so there ya go. shut ur mouths now -blam!-s.
its comin out agust 24th. Period.

I'm gunna go against my common since and go with hawkeye on this one. I've said exactly what hawk said before, it clearly doesn't say 2004. It very may well go down as one of the biggest, um, biggest somethings that a company has lied about the release date of something for some reason things. If that makes since. I think that on august 10th 2004, bungie will announce that they will be going gold and will say that on august 24th there will be enough copies shipped to all of the stores that all of the people that reserved copies will be able to pick one up.

True. That's why at the end of the trailer it has November 9 underneath the Halo 2 logo... don't see how I could have misunderstood that.... thanks for enlightening all the -blam!-s.
