ok i got mre info

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_9

if you go to the very bottom HALO 2 is already maked as a day in history and it hasn't even come out


when i first saw that, i thought you found some good info, upon futher review i realized that you can edit those posts to make them say anything you want...


What the hell are you talking about, MasterChief11904?
wikipedia only has fan-submitted info. So you can't trust everything it says.


thats exactly what i meant, it wasnt official, maybe you should read closely before you start acting like an ass

* 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. -been said
* The date 11+09+04 if added to create a sum is the number 24. -been said
* 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. -coincidence
* 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. -been said
* 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. -been said
(well basically wat they say except in a different form)
* Recovering from the "delays" which have plagued the game, it would justly serve the fanbase for an early release. ( his own opinion )
* It would remove Halo 2 competition from other potential great games to be released in Fall/Winter, which would intern benefit Microsoft. - been said ( ive posted this a couple of times)
* 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. -been said
* It's the only modern game which could successfully survive and still exceed profoundly in sales with a "stealth release." - his own opinion
* 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. - erm... Pre-orders are only a handful of customers, there are still alot of potential customers
* 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. -been said
* 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. - Haven't been said but some people have said stuff CLOSE to what he said
* 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. -been said
* 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. - been said
* 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. - haven't said there you go the first one
* The date is a Tuesday, which is the normal date a video game ships. - been said

y did u repost what i said at the very start of this Thread

You know what?You're being stupid. Use your brain. If you have one.Some of it isn't even textured yet. Also can you imagine the chaos that would be caused by an early release? All those people that preordered and are having it shipped probably wouldn't get it until November!!!!!! The same with the strategy guide. It wouldn't work. About a few hundred people would end up with the game and every one else would have to wait. An early release IS NOT POSSIBLE!!! Even if they finished today they wouldn't have time to mass produce and ship the games. A demo is a remote possibility but not a release!!!!!!!

Sorry, but it wasn't very clear the way you said it, it looked like you meant the posts here on the forums. And I thought "what the hell does that have to do with anything?"

why do you got to go ruining everything cause you are grouchy cause can't get some it is possible to get all the games out they just need to get them to the ppl who are puting them to a disc it don't take that long to make dvd disc nemore with the stuff they use maybe like 10 seconds to do one game so they put lots of machines into making them and work the machines night and day plus the boxes are most likely already made

You guys make it sound like people will burn down buildings to get a copy of Halo 2. Most people don't care that much about Halo 2, and they could start a blitz advertising campaign on the 10th. I doubt anybody's scared of a wild pack of nerds who didn't preorder.

if your directing at me i don't really care THAT much about halo 2

the ones you should call nerds are the people who say they are going to skip school on november 9th (if thats the real date of the release)

I do like Halo, I'm not researching Halo 2, and I'm a closet nerd (no one must know). I'm just saying, that if you think about all the people in America, everybody, not just gamers, then there really aren't that many people who care about Halo 2. Then think about the people who care, and think about how many of them that are stupid enough to burn down buildings, or break windows to get a copy of Halo 2. Not that many.

there wasn't chaos when 95 came because no one knew it was coming. With Halo set to relase in November, many people may be waiting to pre-order (waiting for deals like free shipping, etc.). Bungie wouldn't want to alienate these fans because with an early release, no preorder = no game for at least a couple weeks until the next shipment

They'll buy it whenever the hell they can. It's not like they're just going to say "-blam!- it, if I can't preorder, then this game sucks and I'm not buying it, ever."

Shut the -blam!- up.
How is "maybe a demo coming out, and no full release" a fact? Do you work for Bungie? Didn't think so, so SHUT THE -blam!- UP!
