If you look at this from a general public perspective, the whole ILB thing is still way out on the fringe. Ask 10 people on the street about I love bees and you'd be lucky to get one positive reply. The only people this is really reaching right now is hardcore gamers, so any momentum is wasted on an audience that's already aware of H2. In my humble opinion this ILB thing is just some backstory ala Cortana letters to get the gamers in a frenzy. It almost feels like this marketing ploy is something Bungie didn't want and is being foisted upon the public from the potentates in Redmond.

Halo 2 comes out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK. It does NOT come out on Aug 24th. You know what does come out on Aug. 24th? Some OXM special which does NOT, and I repeat does NOT have a Halo 2 demo on it. No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum. But to reiterate, Halo 2 comes out Nov. 9th or Nov.11th for the UK.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I don't live in the UK. So this doesn't apply the me here in the US. But before I get flamed, I'm not saying its coming out the 24th. But Frankie never says anything about the United States release date, just the UK

I dont know if Frankie has been living under a rock or what since he has no idea how the rumor got much "momentum." that right there calls the post into question. Guess i believe him though.

Sorry to pick on you Foehammer, but your post seems to sum up the attitude of most Aug 24 believers. Basically, it sounds like:

"Gee, I really really want it to come out early, so I'm going to ignore all common sense and facts, and spam up the forum with crap threads about an early release. I will believe ANYTHING supporting my hope for an early release no matter how far fetched it is, and even if the president of Bungie says Halo 2 releases November 9th, he must be lying. Until August 24 rolls around and Halo 2 is still not out, at which time I will say that I never thought it would come out early the whole time."

So Frankie can't tell how complete the game is by watching and playing the beta test? Thats Grade A intellignce right there. The only way this game could come out in August is if Frankie outright lied to us, not because he didn't know. I will continue on to say that if this game does come out in August I will start playing the lotto because the laws of the universe have just turned inside out and maybe I'll try jumping out a window to see if I'll fly.

Without saying names or pointing at anyone, I can't believe that you kids don't believe Frankie. Do you really think that someone like that would lie?

I knew that the ilovebees thing wasn't for the games release date.
I'm now just hoping it's NOT for a magazine release date (I mean a magazine?! Pleasee.......).

PS. People, beware of Shishka's lesson bat! Not even Hippo guy escaped it!! ;)

first of all, if bungie and frankie wanted to stop all the rumors of a release on the 24th dont u think they would make an official new post/sticky and put it on the home page bungie.com????

i do

second of all frankie only writes a few sentences to let us know the rumors false?

i find that hard to believe, i would write a freakin essay to falsify a rumor not just a couple sentences.

third of all, if frankie knows whats not happenin on the 34th why dont he tell us what IS happening on the 24th.


also all of what i said could just be BS but i do have one thintg to say. If Frankie does not put a single word of ilovebees in his next weekly update then u know hes is lying for sure about the whole 24th speculation.

theres my 2.34567 cents.
have fun kids...

first of all i didn't read the other pages of posts before this so if i restate something that has already been said but it just seems that bungie is going to a lot of trubble to make a fake websight and now try to kill the rumors that it has started i personally think that they want everybody to belive it isn't August 24th release date then proving us all wrong
