Until Bungie puts an article on their Front Page, I will believe it comes out the 24th. You think bungie wants this huge rumor continuing? DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD THEY HIDE "THE ANSWER" IN PAGE 13 OF A THEAD!??!?!?!? NO. Dont' believe everthing the mods or even Frankie says unless it is in a news story.
Well, in that case, and I mean this with the utmost respect, you're deluded.
You're entire basis for this silly concept that the game's going to be released as a surprise in August is based on nothing more than shaky conspiracy theory and denial. Even after stacking it up against the official press announcement by Bungie from E3 that November 9th was the date, the subsequent entry in the official Halo 2 FAQ that states that November 9th is the date, and a reason quote from Frankie O'Connor, Bungie.net editor and official link between Bungie and the public, stating the 9th is the date, you're still going to argue without justification or reasoning that the game is coming out in roughly 3 weeks, having zero time for any real marketing, and without official notice, so opening sales (the most important time in the selling life of a game) will start out slow.
I'm sorry, but nobody NEEDS to justify this stuff to you. I don't think there's any more way to explain it short of using the lesson bat that you're wrong, and Halo 2 is not going to be released this month, nor next month, nor the month after that. You can wake up early in the morning of the 24th, run to your favorite game retailer, and then come home disappointed for all I care. You're simply too hard headed to actually apply logic to any of this.
I am simply stating that because so many people (including me) belive it comes out on the 24th, and that many people may not see Frankie quote, Bungie (if they are intelligent at all) should post a news story denying the date. My point, plain and simple, is that Frankie made that post on Page 13 of a thread and if that is where all of the official info is, then I better search all of the weekly update threads. Oh, by the way, don't use that FAQ bull on me. Read the top of the page. EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
P.S. I won't run to my Gamestop. 1. They will call the night before a pre-order can be picked up. 2. If they don't, I'll just give them a call.
