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.


You sure have bad spelling for a journalist.



My thoughts too.


I am pretty new at WarCry. And really, if you don't want to believe me I don't care. Having said that, I really don't pay attention to spelling when I chat nor post on forums.

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.

Here is my 10 cents(Why is it that cheap)
Well if it comess Sept 24, 2004:
There WILL BE advanced indication for we, as the buyers of the game will know.
There people will be MORE than excited for an early launch.
Who does NOT want a early launch?I mean come on...
If it comes out Nov 9:
It is as schudaled
People are ALREADY prepared
People will be excited about it
So either way dont we get what we want?????
Added you pissed off or why would any one be? Are you not on union so it has to happen on the exact second?

Well we do get what we want. But we all prefer an Agust 24th release, why? Simple answer: We get to play the game 2 months "earlier" from what we were stated to. We might be "desesperated", but we are just simple fans that can't wait to get our hands in this legendary game.

Whether you believe that the game will be released early on August 24 or whether you believe it will be released on the scheduled release date, isn't the point. The point that we all agree on, unless there is someone on these forums who are here for the hell of it, is that we all want Halo 2. If it comes out November 9 then great we get the game. If it comes out August 24 then even better, we still get the game. The fact is regardless of its release date we are all going to play it. Personally, I would like it early so I can play uninterrupted before university starts, but, if not, then hell, I have all Christmas break to play.

What if its a BUNGIE game and is NOT Halo 2? Or what if it is a MOVIE that will be out in the cinema? Remember this came from the cinemas, so it might end in the cinemas.


BTW great job there the warcry page, its true i have already heard some of those ideas, but indeed there are new and very interesting ones.

Thanks for the feedback :). And I dont think it is a movie or anything like that, nor another game. Just my opinion tho.

Most people still dont get that the only way to know if Halo2 is coming out early is to wait for official word, no one is gonna solve it to the point of getting the real ILB message. Also it seems to me that people would rather fight about what is going to happen on the 24th, even though no one knows for sure.... its a freakin surprise kinda like christmas, they arent gonna spoil the gift (halo2) by telling you what it is (with a demo).... I prefer to sit back and watch this roll on to the 24th and maybe it will be something big and we'll all be surprised... yipee... oh the best way to look at ILB is with the attitiude DILLIGAF (do i look like i give a F)

It's a good article, but who ever wrote it is bassing it on a lot of speculation and guesses. I still believe that Halo 2 will not be released August 24, but I have a feeling that something relatively "big" will happen on that date with a connection to Halo 2 and Bungie.

Its a nice idea that the game will come out on the 24th, there are even some nice supports for it, but I can almost say for certain that it won't happen. Have you proposing that the game will come out read the Bungie updates? They just released another beta to thousands of people (8000 I believe). Do you have any idea how long it takes to sort through that many bug reports and feeback? Additionally Bungie has stated (I suppose you could say they were lying) that they needed the input to help them work on balancing. Not to mention how in so many of the posts Bungie would talk about how many parts are still missing. I highly doubt the work load of a 8000 person beta test could be processed in the time remaining let alone all the other things they still have to impliment. I used to work in Quality assurance for video games and technical support for video games. Additionally I'm a programmer myself, I know the system. Often times when a bug is fixed another minor bug will appear from the fix so the Beta testers will have to test that out as well. Bungie will have to release at least one more giant beta before the game is releaed. There is NOT enough time for that. Sorry.

Man this article is very good and enjoyed reading it. I believe that Halo 2 will come out on august 24th. If it doesnt then something huge involving halo 2 will. Mark my words A DEMO WILL NOT BE RELEASED ON AUGUST 24TH!!!!!!!!!! On august 10th I truely believe that we will know if Halo 2 will be released early, if we dont then I dont think Halo 2 will be released early. So flame me all you want but I am really hopeing this game is released on August 24th, even if thats the secound day of school in my first year of college.

The part of the review that got me the most is " Microsoft also has many of releases near the holidays, an early release of Halo 2 will make sense because why would Microsoft want to compete against itself?"

I think Halo 2 is at the point where the game is done and that it is enough done to show the ESRB what type of rating it is going to get. Also what frankie said in the update in Europe. But I think what bungie is doing now is debugging and polishing it up because I doubt they would be doing some major stuff to the game when it comes out 3 months from now. Halo 2 = 11/9/04. Thanks


Edit: But then again it does make you wonder why Microsoft would be that in a movie trailer. I wouldnt belive this for a second if it just came out of the blue, but this is from microsoft. I still highly doubt anything would happen because Halo 2 will sell no matter when it comes out. I guess it keeps us busy though. THanks

I am starting to get convinced as well, or at least, I am letting myself believe what it wants to hear!

If it does get released early, that would mean extra$$$ in LIVE Licenses!
