With all do respect we know that all the promos and such clealy state "NOVEMBER 9TH"
but that doesnt mean anything, the purpose of ilovebees is to stir things up.

It would be no fun if they just said "suprise" its coming out august 24th

microsoft has been known to launch these conspiracy theories for release dates numerous times

And the point of advertising november 9th is to get us thinking and mess with us... they are cooking up something and it will not be a demo for a fact

first of all they dont need to release a demo because everyone already knows that its gonna be one of the sweetest games

Although anything is possible, November 9 is the most probable date.

There are no LEGAL beta vids. And if you mean that link that doesn't work, that site has been taken down after fixing it.

Also, with all due respect, every promo says "November 9th" and not actually "November 9th 2004" so they might not be refering to the release date perse, but the date when the game's story starts.

"November 9th. Earth will never be the same."

That could mean either HALO 2 is going to be released that day, or it could mean that that is when Earth gets attacked by the Covenant IN THE GAME. Now, one way to solve this is by picking up the First Strike book. I am at my girlfriend;s house right now so someone please, if you have the book, do the following: Go to the end of the book, past the Unyielding Hierophant mission, and to the part when they are (MC and friends) heading back to Earth. From what I remember, It was going to take them I believe, 35 hours to get to Earth? I dunno. But someone with the book go check what the date was. If in fact it was around September or October in the storyline, then we might have a full version of HALO come August 24. Just because Bungie says that it's going to be released on November 9th, doesn't mean that they can't shock us with a surprise earlier release date. I mean c'mon... show me a true HALO fan that will be mad of the early release, and I will show you someone who isn't really a true fan of HALO.

The date you want is September 13, 2552. You were right about the 35 hours too. Page 333 of First Strike.

Sept 13th!!!! HOLY CRAP!!! The Unyielding Hierophant was the Covenant's last stop before attaking the Earth right? Well, their initial attack fleet was destroyed and it will probably take them another month and a half to recover from their losses and then attack Earth... by the time they get there it just might in fact be November 9th.... the day that Earth will never be the same.

ok ok ok. In the past, rumors of release dates for Halo 2 by retailers were crushed by Bungie in official press releases. With ILB so much more prevalent, why is Bungie silent on the issue? There are NO official press releases, no mentions of it on the site, not even passive mentions from anyone connected to the company. Nothing for or against. Even in the latest weekly update, Frankie only whines about having to work at Bungie, no mention at all.

Bungie was quick to put out fires before, but now they're letting this one burn? illogiacal to say the least. And don't anyone tell me they haven't heard of it yet.

I think that halo 2 will come out on august 24th. Like someone said before, all of the promos say november 9th, the earth will never be the same. It clearly doesnt have 2004 anywhere in it. And as far as I know a video game can't change the world, so....

Bungie's reply, well lack there of, on the ILB issue is certainly suspicious, something is gonna happen on the 24th... and its gonna be crazy big

Oh, and the theory that the trailer says November 9th and that is the date in the game when the covenant attack earth and not the release date is interesting... Aug 24th has alot on uncertainty shrouded around it, so the only way to truly find out what bungie has in store for us is to wait and see... waitng sucks

If Halo 2 is released early, no question it will be August 24th you can read my other posts to get some info on why and another reason is there are numerous FPS's coming out from the spetember-christmas time period..... Halo 2 would like to get a jump on all of them (Doom 3, Ghost Recon 2, Call of Duty, Half Life 2... etc)

Here are the FACTS: (ok, maybe not facts, but read on)

* ilovebees.com is connected to Microsoft, Bungie, and HALO 2. If not M$, then they wouldn't have let the Ant Farm advertise it in the theatrical trailer... especially over xbox.com. If not Bungie, then why does everything on the site contain familiarities with old Bungie games and references? If not HALO 2, then why put ilovebees.com on a HALO 2 trailer?
* If you are talking about something other than HALO 2 in New Mombasa, it will be locked. Why let us talk about ilovebees? Hell, they even have rules about ilovebees discussion in the stickies!
* No one from M$, or Bungie have confirmed nor denied that the countdown on ilovebees is for HALO 2's release. But recently, it seems that they all seem to be too quiet, don't you think? In Frankie's update he speaks nothing of it. Oh, wait... he was in the UK... how convenient.
* If Bungie released HALO 2 on August 24th, will you be mad? Or will you demand that they take it back and release it on November 9th when they said they would? Xbox LIVE 3.0 is done and I hear that HALO 2 will fully support all the new functions. Too bad we'll have to wait for November 9th to use them...

Curse, or coincidence?

ok im new to these forums, first post actaully, but i have a lot to say.

Have yall even seen the newest trailer???

In the trailer i will quote exactly what it says.

The most lethal force in the universe (covenant)
Has destroyed everything in its path
On November 9th (not real life but november 9th in halo's story line.)
Whats in its path (earth and mc and his troops)
Is us (meaning the us in the story line of halo on earth)
Were not ready (regular people in the halo timeline)
He is (Master Chief)

then at the end (keep in mind this is the newest trailer out) it says November 9th only
it does not say November 9th, 2004.
then we are given the www.ilovebees.com flash to lead us onto a mystery of clues.

Use your brain people. its obvious that halo2 is coming out August 24th, 2004.
9+11+04 = 24
Also that guys tatoo of November 9th was a fake.
and notice how on all the promos they just say Novemeber 9th w/o the 2004.
that means halo2 is comig out novemeber 9th in the halo story not in real life.

if my post hasnt been enough solid proof and evidence to yall, i dont know what is.
