I love Bungie, I love their games, and I can't wait for Halo 2 but what in the HELL was they thinking with this ilovebees crap? Frankie says the is nothing is happening but a magazine release but they put the crap in the trailer? They let people discuss it and argue over it for weeks, getting their hopes up. Oh yeah great move Bungie, that's gonna help you sell a lot more copies. Actually the crap makes me sick, I don't get why they would put it in the trailer, I don't know why they would make a freaking website and go through all this trouble for nothing but dang info. It's sad and demoralizing, unless something big does happen on August 24th then I am not checking back at this site again. I believe the fact they would try to toy with the emotions and hopes of hundreds of die hard Halo fans, just because Halo 2 is the most anticipated game ever, is simply wrong. If nothing comes out then that's all it was, a scheme to get fans' hopes up and cut them down, and for that I lose a lot of respect for this great company. Plain and simple, if you don't have anything big planned then don't act like you do just so you can sit back and laugh at the fans. I know OXM may release all of the Halo 2 info people wanna hear, but why would someone count down to that? Halo 2 comes out a little over two months after the 24th, of course magazines are gonna be telling all the big secrets, how is that a big deal?

Quite frankly either this is a coverup of something Bungie is doing, or this has all been a hoax and I am very disappointed in the people behind this, as many many fans will be. So if nothing comes out, all I have to say is good job guys.. if anything this hoax is gonna cost you sells, it's definately not gonna gain you any.

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

Your grammer makes me read it like I am speeding through your post. I think you should retype it, and don't use "u" for YOU. I am not trying to say that I have never done it before or anything, and I understand. I think though that when your trying to post something you want people to read, you should use proper spelling. I couldn't get through your whole post, but the part about Frankie. I think he knows, he can't deny it either. It's in a Halo 2 trailer, but he is probably not trying to set a example by not letting any information or awareness show.

IT IS NOT BUNGIE'S FAULT!!!!!!

Why?.

1- lots of people here assumed that there would be a dema or early release of halo 2, BUNGIE NEVER SAID THAT.

2- BUNGIE SAID: There will NOT be a game demo before the release of the game!.

3. the trailer says NOVEMBER 9, not aug 24.

4- the people you should blame is yourselves, you started the hype about the ilovebees.com, not bungie.

the last couple of Magazine articles HAVE been big news.... everyone on this site has been screaming for more info - The article is likely to be stuffed with things you didn't know... things you'll be drooling over until Halo 2 is released... How is that not worth a little hype?? IF that is what the ILB thing is about...

To the guy correcting my grammer:

Are you retarded? I didn't use 'U' instead of 'you' one time, where did you get that at? If anything it has to be you are too mentally incapable to understand anything. Everyone else check the original post, tell me where you find misspellings and terrible grammer. Sure some run-on sentences but who cares, it's a forum, not an essay writing contest.


To the guy saying it's not Bungie's fault:

They put the ilovebees.com link in the trailer, they made the website for people to look at. They pointed the fans in that direction and they MADE them speculate. So yes, it was Bungie's fault. If they had done none of this then nobody would have gotten their hopes up, there would have been no speculation, and this would not just be a big joke to toy with everyone's emotions. If you can't see that then my friend you are a fool.


To the guy with the magazine article comment:

Why is it not big news? Simple... of course there is going to be tons of information released in the two months preceeding Halo 2, that's how video games work. Why would someone go through the effort of counting down to the first one? It's pointless, people know it will happen so why count down to it like it's a major thing Bungie has planned. Sure the magazine articles will be nice, but are they worthy of a countdown and all of the speculation Ilovebees.com has brought into the minds of Halo fans? No, they are not.

Real nice job idiot. You don't think I noticed you edited you post. I think that makes you look real ignorant to try and shove that back in my face. You need to know that I can see you edited you posts. I wouldn't say anything if it wasn't there.

They didn't tell you WHAT to speculate about. They did say "don't believe anything if it doesn't come direct from Bungie". They did say Halo2 was coming out November 9. They did say that there was no demo prior to the release date... not Bungie's fault.

ANYTHING is worth a countdown if it's Halo2 related. I count the days until a weekly update...
ANYTHING Halo2 related is worth the speculation that has gone into ILB.


Enjoy ILB for what it is: A puzzle to be solved... and don't people just because there wasn't a milllion dollars at the end of the ride.

Yes, my friend, you did say something that wasn't there. The post was edited soon after I originally made it, I added in some things. I didn't change any spellings or words, just went back over what I had wrote. Yes I edited the post after your stupid comment but it wasn't to fix a misspelling or change anything major, just to make some sentences more understandable in how they was presented. This wasn't because of your post, I was doing it while you was posting. No I did not use 'u' instead of 'you' and if you think I did it does nothing but prove you did not read my post.

so... U R AN IDIOT. :D


To the other guy, GOD Halo Fan (nice name by the way):

*cough* you didn't read the original post so mind your own business *cough*

kthx.

Ok, thats very clever shadedhalo. I am the one who is an idiot, I guess I should talk to you more. I mean, you are the expert on telling people who know their ABC's they're idiots. I wish I could do that, must be a 12 year old thing.

*oh, back for an edit. I want to edit mine too, you have edited everyone of your posts. I guess I should change one. Your up three to one.

No it's a 21 year old computer programming major at Vanderbilt thing, but very nice comeback. At least you did have one smart comment, you admitted you was an idiot...

I edit my posts so as to respond to someone without filling up the thread, maybe you can learn to do it as well.

DUDE!!!! IT'S JUST A GAME!!!

Sorry to put it that way, BUT IT IS! Stop having a hissy fit over a freakin game! It'll come out when bungie says it'll come out! And bungie or anyone else didn't forced you to look into all the ILB crap, so don't take it out on them! Sheesh

Actually I only went to the ilovebees website once, I didn't even bother looking through what was there. I read some posts on this forum about how detailed it was and all of the speculation. I simply wanted to state I think it's a shame Bungie would put something into one of their trailers to hype something that doesn't even matter and counts down to basically nothing special.

By the way, grammer genius, it's 'you're', not 'your. :)

I did read it (as hard to follow as it was) I just don't agree with many of the things you are saying. I just hope you will change your mind, bungie is giving us one of the greatest games ever (for a very reasonable price) and don't deserve people like you flaming them.

Yes, my brother has a computer science degree from the University of Oregon. He makes mistakes, and thats ok. He was the former Vice President of Delta Tau Delta frat house, he gets a little room to make some. I am sorry if a college education couldn't give you proper english instuction. Some that tries to fight with a 17 year old, your not acting very mature. Then again I'm not very mature either. So grow up a little and learn from your mistakes.

Cough* editing my own post*
Cough* not the main topic*
Cough*main topics should be well written*
Cough*not written fast like when I try and quick respond to idiots*

Damn, something must be going around.

I am not flaming Bungie for making Halo 2, actually I am not flaming them at all. I am simply stating my opinion that the whole ilovebees.com hoax they have put out was a waste of time and effort on everyone's part. I thought much more of Bungie than something so vague and worthless.


To the grammer genius once again, please go back and read your post. In your attempt to insult my grammer you spelled 'instruction' 'instructuon' and used 'your' instead of 'you're' once again. You make yourself look even more illiterate with each post.


Halo Fan God, the name compliment was with all due sarcasm. Also if you could not read my original post then it's simply because you lack the mental capacity to do so, not my fault.

If you believe that countdown timer, then try believing this one. I beleive the one i mentioned is actually counting down to something. And if you get addaware or something, then i suggest getting a new Internet Browser.

Littlerat, you tell us it's just a game and we need to get over it, yet you go through the effort of making your own countdown timer. That is a bit hypocritical don't you think?

Also, I never said I was mature, I am the farthest thing from mature. Being intelligent and immature is a nice combination and one I am proud of, it makes arguments much more fun.

actually, that was a multipurpose countdown timer i made about 3 months before the i love bees stuff exploded. And you can change the date it count's down to if you didn't perhaps notice the editable text boxes.

And i agree that being imature is the best and most fun stage in the world. It's awsome, almost like being a child again. You get to do anything you want to =]>

Come on man, if you're a 21 year old that got your hopes up in a site that was advertised in ONE of Bungie's trailers, thats pretty sad. I'm 16, i don't have a girlfriend, i do my homework, i live life for games, and i didnt beleive the ilovebees countdown, and am not in any way affected that the game isn't coming out before November 9th, how does that make you feel. My whole next 2 months will be dedicated to gameplaying and research about halo 2, with a side of homework, and i am not dissapointed at all. What does that have to say to you?

Anyway, Bungie did say in the very same trailer, November 9th.
Bungie also says at this website, no demo before the games release.
Finally, if the trailer builds up hype, then that is gonna boost sales tonnes....
Then the ilovebees mystery builds more hype... MORE sales....
I know if they jacked the price up to $150 AUD, i will STILL buy it...
And if you dont, i dont care, its yours, and and everyone else's loss, if they got so dissapointed by thier own hype!
