Anyone sain already knew that the game won't come out on the 24th of August. Anyone smart would have figured it's probably not the demo. Frankie confirmed that it's neither. It can't be the OXM issue, because although it's gonna have some Halo 2 screenshots, it's not JUST for Halo 2. It's for the holiday preview in general. So here are the options I see:
1. Bungie releases a ton of new screenshots and/or a new trailer.
2. Bungie releases a new in-game footage clip.
3. Bungie announces a new feature in the game.
4. The story at ILB gets much more distorted, like it did on July 27th.
5. Bungie gives away some more (but not all) of the plot.
6. A new book is released.
Any thoughts?

I think it may be some sort of short trailer/movie based on First Strike that will help the non-diehards catch up with the story......then again i might be an idiot.......i haven't decided yet.

----It will help them become "wide awake" to the Halo story????

That actually does make sense. I mean, from reading First Strike I don't know how they're gonna explain the events in-between Halo 1 and 2 without some kind of catch-up movie.

i read the books but i think ill be the first one here to say meh, they werent that hot, they changed the game in some aspects, and were just boring for some of the parts. . . not that much takes blace inbetween, its basically all just so the author cause say how sgt johnson lives, even tho i was plenty fine having him in that E3 demo without me questioning the game

game release...dose it strike you as odd that frankie chose now to say it isn't happening instead of quieting all the rumors down right when the ilovebees thing started it just dosen't make since why wait to say something about it he could have mentioned it with the weekly update where everyone would see it at the same time

Frankie is funny.

Notice how he changed the topic in the Weekly update thread from

"Bungie Weekly Update!" to "Bungie Weekly Update! b z z" - I don't know why he decided now. I guess He's lying or Microsoft and or Bungie are just run by idiots. They've likely spent thousands of dollars on this ilovebees thing - for what, a special issue of a magazine? Wow, that sucks.

If that's what really happens, I, and many people out there, will lose their faith in Bungie Studios, they shouldn't have started something like this if they couldn't live up to what they knew it would bring.

Reap what you sow, if I've spent two hours a day on here the last 3 weeks waiting for news to find out that when that counter hits zero I'll be rewarded with having to pay 10.95 for a magazine that is a load anyway, and all I'll get is a new screenshot, or maybe 30 seconds of in-game video, then I'll be pissed, and the only reason I'll be buying Halo 2 is because I've already paid $10 to reserve it. I don't want to waste my $10.

EDIT: Remember folks, I don't hate Bungie or Halo or Halo 2, or any of their games, whoa no, I'm just saying that this heralds the end of the Bungie genius if the whole ilb thing is for a magazine that Bungie won't even profit from.

b z z = buzz??

Plus he worded it in a way that it NEVER really confirms anything.

AND it was posted 7 days before the next counter ends.

I'm still an August 24th believer.
