blah blah...I didnt even read it..... Come on do you really want to wait for Halo 2 that long? Aug 24th all the way


This is the big difference between the average gamer. AKA you. And a true hardcore gamer devoted to Bungie. AKA like myself. You don't really care when the game comes out. You don't care that it actually takes time and talent to create a game like Halo, let alone a sequel thats will be at least three time better. So quit being so selfish. I bet once you saw that someone(in a spam post nonetheless) said Halo2 is coming out on the 24th of August, you hopped on the bandwagon right away. All the people that disreguard [color=Red]actually info from mod's and Bungie employee's[/color] saying the game is going to come out [color=Red]NOV 9TH[/color], are really starting to piss me off.

But to answer you're question.

I would wait for Halo2 to come out...forever.
If by some chance the game was destroyed right now and the building caught on fire. Let's hope that never happens. I would wait until the next NOV 9TH in 2007 to play it.

If it comes out on the 24th.

fine

I will be one of the first to admit that I was wrong. But only after I was standing in line all day at my local gamestop to buy my preorder.

If it comes out on the 9th.

fine

Because I know Bungie put more time and effort to make Halo2 and even better game than it already is.

A demo doesn't seem necessary. What audience would they be trying to win over with a demo? I don't think they even need that kind of effort, Halo2 will sell itself. I really want to believe that Halo2 is comin out on the 24th, but the updates keep saying that parts of the game aren't finished. But, could they write that Halo2 is unfinished, when it actually is, just to cover their backs? Or would that be against Bunge policy, to lie like that.


Woah woah woah! I have had a lot of friends who have come to my house for halo lans - hating gaming in all ways possible and turning around the next day to get an XB, they will sell another 200,000 with a demo which people will love!

Maybe it's revenge for Frankie getting flamed so bad when he put the weekly update on the Penny Arcade forums.


he did get flames pretty badly...

I AM WIN WIV LEET WEPENZ

What I don't get is if the game is'nt coming out early, why are'nt Bungie saying anything?
Remember they quashed the rumor about charging for clan support because it was malicious in intent. Don't you think that a rumor that they're gonna release a game before it's properly finished is just as damaging to potential sales?

We can argue all we want and I'm all for presenting theories and opinions, but the simple fact is non of us know what's gonna happen on august the 24th and we'll just have to wait and see.

For the love of god, the mods don't know -blam!-, they're as clueless as the rest of us! And I know this because they actually said they don't know anything.

Before I realized that PAX had a demo, that's just what I said. Bungie hasn't even mentioned ilovebees at all. Even when the forum crashed from all the people coming to talk about it, the message on the front of bungie just said that emergeny repairs had to be done, and Frankie didn't even make fun of it! Whatever is happening, is happening on the 24th and I'm almost sure that whatever it is involves Bungie

uh huh, so releasing a game before it's ready is better for who?

1. You
doubt it would you play a game with many bugs and glitches, i know i wouldn't even if it was halo2
2. Bungie
Hell no bad business, they would go bankrupt
3. Microsoft
Again bad business, they would lose money and get flamed bad, just like they should have for releasing ME

Bungie would not go bankrupt, where would you get that idea? Just because a game comes out early does not mean people will boycott it. Even if it does have bugs, people will still buy it, hell look at Enter The Matrix.

I was only saying from a business standpoint. If a game has a lot of bugs and glitches, that means they didn't spend enought time on the game. Therefore just wanted to get the game out to make money. I'm not saying at all Bungie is doing this right now, but it happenes with other smaller software companies all the time. And to me when a game/ software has glitches it pisses me off, and I don't support the company by buying their products anymore.

I was don't worry. I think sarcasim is the word

gj silver by the way all the people who are saying that it would be impssible to pull this off secretly but then again the CIA's first spy sattelite was worked on by over 1000 people they built it they put it together and had no idea what they were doing that was 50 years ago microsoft probablly has a bigger budget then the entire spy sattelite cost and there not sending something to space. Also makind discs and boxs would be easy in a warehouse they could have all those discs done in a couple weeks the reason why franky has so much trouble getting discs is cause he has to get a small amount and obviously from the amount he needed a small company the discs could be printed and box's put together and microsofts own warehouse where the employees probablly are people who dont even know what a xbox is it is very possible and havent u seen the thing that talks about MT. Vesuvius and windows being released its all saying that something is going to pop up i dont know if its a demo or the game i tend to believe a demo but people have said thats not microsofts style so you know what is ..... a unexpected release

Well, that's good, but it is hard to tell sarcasm when it's in the written word.

I think people from both sides of the 24th-9th arguement need to come together and just have an agreement to stop posting until the 24th. Because both sides know that something is going to happen that day. So let's just agree to dissagree and be Halo playing buddies again.

Viper45, You don't technically know that the game isn't ready yet. Sure, the weekly update explains that there are still many bugs in the game, but if Bungie is planning on a secret early release, would they talk about how perfect the game is now? No, they'd make it seem like it still needs work. No one knows what is going to happen on the 24th. We just have to wait and see. I'm 50/50 on this. It could come out, it could not. I could care less either way as long as it's in my hands before the year is over.

I wish all the Nov. 9thers thought like you Viper. Most of them are stubborn asses and refuse to come to an agreement other than November 9th.

I appreciate your proposal and accept it.
