I can guarantee you, that Halo 2 is not coming out on the 24th of August

So he's a Bungie employee, yes?

In other news, gullible is written on your ceiling; you might want to wipe that off

I'm the type who wouldn't say his opinion unless I was almost positive that it's the right one

Halo 2 is coming out on November 9th, 2004

Need proof? There's a truckload full of solid and confirmed information. Need to disprove? There's a wheelbarrow of vague and shakey "theoretic" information

I don't know how this ever became a debate...

Here's a tip that I learned a while ago: don't trust anything anyone says on the Internet. Ever. Even if they have pictures. I'm sure that anyone on any forum could name themselves "Bungie Employee" and say anything they wanted about something Bungie related and people would buy it. Gullible people.

  • 08.03.2004 12:54 AM PDT

Notice the difference between the email of the "Bungie Insider" in the link you've given, and the email of the person (Not saying they're official Bungie) in the link that I've given.

-[color=yellow] MY LINK [/color]

Looks like someone's a copy cat:)

I'm a Bungie Employee too. Head honcho at their "Useless information to spread on the internet" dept, and second in line at the "spot the gullible fools" section.
Salary of 3 carrots and all the Halo 2 I can play, so long as it's played with a PS2 pad on a Gamecube.

Amazing job, you'd love it.

The mod has little to gain by lying to you and has made the best argument thus far.

i got some more proof right here

* The blog, which was created by Microsoft/Bungie indicates that something extremely important will happen on this date, something on the same level as other major historical events.
* The date 11+09+04 if added to create a sum is the number 24.
* From August 24th to November 9th there are 11 weeks, which of course are 7 days a piece. The SPARTAN number for John, Master Chief is 117.
* The game has been tested in alpha/beta stages for the past year, sufficiently long enough to collect enough data for a release, especially based on the excessive in-house testing that has occurred at Bungie over the last two months.
* The game recently acquired its international and ESRB ratings, something that happens usually right before or after a game goes gold, not three months in advance.
* Recovering from the "delays" which have plagued the game, it would justly serve the fanbase for an early release.
* It would remove Halo 2 competition from other potential great games to be released in Fall/Winter, which would intern benefit Microsoft.
* The game was 90% complete during E3, in May. We are now three months off that date. Frank, has already said he has played through a near-complete campaign build of the game. Complete enough to be rated by the ESRB and foreign rating firms. This would indicate a game just shy of gold.
* It's the only modern game which could successfully survive and still exceed profoundly in sales with a "stealth release."
* It's a sure thing. With copies already on hold at every electronic gaming outlet, there's no need for a pre-emptive marketing ploy. Just like the ARG/blog, marketing can occur word-of-mouth with a game like this and still be successful.
* A stealth release would only secure even more of a spotlight, being that its the only one done within recent history and its being done with the most anticipated second-generation game ever. It would demand media attention just due to the covert nature of the release.
* A two-week, fourteen-day media blitz (from 08/10 to 08/24) would be much more affordable for Microsoft in promoting the game then a drawn out, five-month promotion ring for a game to be a top-seller for Christmas.
* The original "Fall" release date for the game was September 1st, before the Bungie marketing campaign at E3 2004 set an "official" release date as November 9th. The previous date is less then a week from the date in question and is closer to the original, estimated date of March - June which was set by Microsoft, based on information gathered from Bungie on the date by which they would consider the game ready to ship back in 2003.
* Bungie has not denied this as of yet. With the rampant information, it would only negatively reflect against their marketing scheme by promoting a countdown to something apparently this significantly. With thousands of fans, all over the world, now expecting this, it would behoove Bungie to allow it to be perpetuated without some sort of rebuttal simply restating the release date.
* Recent webcams have indicated that the entire staff seems to be involved in a daily meeting with men dressed in business suits. This has only started happening within the last week, indicating a drastic change in pace from their frantic activities of the "crunch-time-weeks" just prior.
* The date is a Tuesday, which is the normal date a video game ships.
