Good find... It gives a feasable explanation that, as the first I've heard yet, has convinced me a little it might be what's happening. Still not convinced enough though.

Halo 2 is scheduled to release on November 9, 2004. Why would you tell the entire world you're going to release a game on Nov.9, and then release 3 MONTHS earlier? People have already made PLANS for November 9. And Bungie is not going to piss off their fans just so they can get an EARLY RELEASE.

ESRB rated Halo 2 becuase all the blood and gore and violent stuff was finished in the build they saw. THE ENTIRE GAME IS NOT FINISHED.

That dosent really certifies the game is coming out on Agust 24th. We just analized and researched the site, and some of us know a lot about the industry and that is what we came up with. We did not copy pasted from the forums, we wrote our own theory.

Stop acting like you work for WarCry.


Its definitley feasable that Halo 2 will come out in August.
I would be surprised, just incredibly excited.

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

The only reason i could see they would say the 9th, would be to give themselves enough time to get the game complete, but that is ruled out by the fact that they are advertising for the 9th. It would be different if they were to say it will be done before the 9th, and not give an affirmative release date.

It would make 0% sence for Bungie to release Halo 2 on Aug. 24th
Unless they are sick and demented and want to see mass panic throughout the world.

You guys are morons. Can't see pass the November 9th thing. They can fool us so easily with August 24. They could have watched us panic for the fun of it. I would do the same thing with a game like this. They could easily have everything ready for August 24. We just don't know ok. I'm not saying its coming out then but maybe a demo for Halo 2 that would be the nicest thing to do. And if you say thats stupid letting a demo out this early than your not a true Halo fan. That demo could keep me busy until the game comes out.

Lol, I am not acting like a work for WarCry, because I do work for warcry. Anyways my point is that we strongly believe that Agust 24th is the date for an Halo 2 early release. I am just saying we came up with that article by ourselves by researching and analizing the site. If you want proof that I do work for WarCry you can email any WarCry staff and ask them wether or not "yeyeman9" works with them. Also, you can email me at yeyeman9@warcry.com and you will see you will get a response. Thanks.

Great find. I would love to see it come out on August24th! Who would not love that??? So from the article I can summarize
1 - Everyone will know on August 10th that the release date has changed (if it changes at all)
2 - There already is a ESRB rating on the game - which means the final version is ready to go - bungie said in their last update they were getting approvals from the Europeans, didn't that seem like a rush event, maybe it was to get approval sooner than planned(?)
3 - The game is a sure thing so why not release it as soon as they can
4 - If the game is released early it would be positive press for Bungie and Microsoft, and then would allow for other titles to sell at Christmas.

And I just thought of the 5th reason... which is the most potent of all of them...
Remember XBox2 is coming out in 2006, so if they release the game sooner, there would be fewer people holding out from buying the game. This is a killer xbox app, and if it released later, say at Christmas time, some people would hesitate and and wait for XBox2 to come out. Now they can release it and all those XBoxes will sell...

I never put much credit in this theory, but it is plausible... remember, before flaming, it is plausible...

I forgot to mention. We are glad that you guys have liked our article, we really dedicated some hours to that. Also, what we discover after publishing the article was another important fact:

They will stop running the cinematic trailer of Halo 2 at the end of Agust.

I would like to think that is another good fact. What if they are then moving onto TV at that point and are just dropping the movie trailer portion? Of course we are all kind of rabid for this thing, so whatever plausible reasoning you give is good enough!

"And Bungie is not going to piss off their fans just so they can get an EARLY RELEASE." WTF??? Piss me off is the last thing that an early Halo 2 would do... do you like waiting or something? plans for november 9th? cant plans be changed? your a weird little man...

You're right--Bungie WON'T piss of their fans with an early realease--we fans will LOVE IT! You're so out of touch with what people are thinking/want, I have to wonder if you're a Democrat.

Thanks. Well I think that a cinematic trailer causes more impact when people see it than a TV trailer. And why would they release a trailer so "early" when the release date is still 3 months away? A cinematic trailer would be more logical around the end of september, begining of October. Thats my opinion tho.
