I heard they hit a major bug when they were close to having it complete. But they fixed it a lot earlier than expected...

Discuss.

It obviously wasnt 90% complete then and the game doesnt need to be complete to get a rating.

Well, once they complete it, the game has to go through months of testing. So thats why the release date is on Nov. 9th.

Well you can play through it, but it is unpolished and still lacking some textures as pointed out by Frank. Having untextured structures is deffinitely not finished.

Interesting... Still, how many half-a-years have passed in Halo 2's development? Let's say they developed it for 3 years, that means 6 half-years. That's about 15% per half-year... And then they need to print manuals and CDs, and then they have to ship it.

[Edit] Wait, I misread the first topic... Or is it a typo? Nevermind.

Parsons said that. He also followed it up by immediately pointing out that last 10% will take the longest.

It was a joke you know that right? Something is going to happen on the 24 but i know its not going to be the release... becasue in thier trailer it said it was coming out on the 9th. They wouldnt do that and then change it.... People have to know when the game is going to be released... because if they dont they wont get as much mula

Honestly, if everyone is going to put their 2 cents in, I might as well too. First, I believe Bungie is not the people in control of Ilovebees.com, Microsoft Games is. Not only is it not run by Bungie, but if Bungie had created that pathetic excuse for an ARG, then I don't believe they have the intelligence it would require to be capable of making Halo or Halo 2. The site lacks artistic creativity and is filled with mindless text that does not even begin to resemble a puzzle, or game. A site that would take the average chump an hour or less to create. Not exactly something us true fans have come to expect from Bungie by any means.While the Ilovebees.com was shown at the end of the Halo 2 movie trailer, it was only shown during the Xbox/Xbox.com part of the advertisement which
helps support the idea that it was MS-Games behind the blurb, and not Bungie.
Of course, any kind of hint or word that relates anywhere close to Halo sparks insane amounts of speculation and hope. So what you should really ask yourself is this: Just how many suckers, erm, excuse me..people, do you believe will become new subscribers to a magazine owned and operated by MS simply because they believe it will contain a demo/preview/information of a game still 4 months away from scheduled release? It's just hype people, hype specifically targeting the information hungry Halo community. And so far, every single one of us has bought into every word if it. Not only bought it, but turned a sorry excuse of an ARG into possibly one of the biggest hoaxes in the history of gaming.

The ARG was Bungie-created. Bungie has done the EXACT same thing in the past.

Umm no, sorry, WRONG, hate it for ya. The last few times Bungie has ran an ARG it actually had some kind of puzzle or intelligent thought behind it..this ARG in no way resembles anything Bungie has ever done. Besides, I've read most of your posts around these forums so explaining logical, even somewhat intelligent ideas or facts to you is a complete waste of mine, or anyone elses, time.
