What do you feel after Frankie's post stating that he has no idea how ILB got out of hand and the Nov. 9th date still holds?
Here's his post, just for review.

posted by Frankie
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.


Sigh.

-S

It doesn't matter how people feel about it, it's the truth. If you don't like it, you'll just have to deal.

Oh, and remove the political commentary from your sig, that's not allowed here.

It doesn't make sense that Frankie's comments were insincere; yet, it is a mind-boggling blunder for him to state he doesn't know the rumor's genesis.

  • 08.03.2004 9:21 PM PDT

No one should hate frankie, he is doing his job, if he told you or not, halo2 isnt out on 24!

People here are so obbsessive about this game. You guys get pissed at Frankie for telling the truth? If Aug. 24th was the game release date (which I might add, ISN'T!) why blame him? He's not the one who made the stupid ilovebees thing, all of Bungie did. You should all be happy. They made that ilovebees (I think) to keep these forums alive with posts, and to keep us happy (and for awhile, annoyed...) how long has this bees thing been going on now? about a month I think! What would these forums be like if ilovebees wasn't here

Topic names:
"Do you like the idea of playing as an Elite?"
"The Millionth Theory on Halo2!!!"
"Dual Weilding ist likith the bestus Idea EvErS!"
"New Content!" (people see that their isn't anything new)

Now, all of our topics are like this:
"ilovebees.com!"
"Theory on ilovebees!"
"New content on ilovebees!"
"Aug. 24th! Release date!"
"etc etc"

Notice I gave all the viewpoints an option, plus some silly ones you really overreacted about. And, sorry to say, ILB is the best thing that happened to these forums yet, as far as membership and views, despite the endless repeats, spam, etc.

And we all know that Frankie is a little *spoiled* for complaining about working at Bungie and getting to fly to Europe and cross-country, etc. I won't get into that, but for my own sake I wanted to defend myself...

I'm relieved by Frankie's post, because now the theory threads that filled the forum can finally come to an end. Also, now that the countdown isn't really an issue, we can focus more on the story behind ilovebees.

I also kinda wish that Bungie kept the buzz going. All the uncertainty was kinda fun and interesting, and now most of it is over. But there is still more to the ilovebees mystery, so it's not completely ruined.

Nobody should be mad at Frankie for posting that, because it wasn't his decision or fault that everybody got so worked up, only to be disappointed. He is the bringer of bad news (for some people), but we can't blame him.

early on i made a joke that the ilovebees countdown was to the release of a new H2 screenshot. i guess i wasn't too far from the truth. i mean, i never came close to believing the early release garbage, but the demo seemed at least like a nice possibility...

for the big pay off to the countdown to be a magazine article with a few bullet points on H2, it's like, why bother? so we take off the bow and try not to rip the gold foil with the silver inlaid ninjas only to find an old cereal box with a dead bug inside.

wow. thanks.

Oh, and remove the political commentary from your sig, that's not allowed here.


WTF? What if I call you a fascista--does that qualify as political? You must be a liberal--sigs suggesting lechery are OK, but a simple (and corny) political slogan is taboo? I don't believe it. Come on, admit it--you're rooting for Kerry and the CONTENT of the slogan offended you, didn't it?


Get over it man - Not only are you completely off base - your views are narrow and pigheaded. This is not a place for ANYTHING political, and as your little Mod-Bashing episode shows, there is a reason for it. People get too caught up in their political views and it always turns into an argument. Besides, ALL politicians are scum suckers to some degree. Don't get your panties in a bunch, and remember that this is considered private property, and as such is devoid of Freedom of Speech.

you certainly chose a good analogy for how everyones feeling right about now, hopefully its more than a cereal box with a dead bug but somehow I doubt it.
