So, flame if you will, but I still think release on Aug 24th is a possibility.
I know what you're going to say..."but Frankie said..."

He also said he has "no idea" how this rumor got so much momentum. come on. So, if he's lying in one sentence, what's to keep him from lying in the rest of his post?
The fact that he acted ignorant about the ilovebees site makes my belief even stronger.

Frankie never claimed to be ignorant about ilovebees. He just didn't know how all these stupid made up theories about August 24th came up. Really what solid evidence do you have?

The countdown timer?? That could be counting down to anything

The stupid Acronym?? It's been proven that it could make any of hundreds of phrases

OXM release?? OXM has stated there will be no demo in the mag

you are left with no solid evidence at all.

No, the reason for the momentum is genuinely questionable. The logic is clearly flawed (people were actually using that "9+11+04=24" thing to justify their claims), and it's been said thousands of times before that you should never trust a release date unless it's given by Bungie. And the release date given by Bungie back in MAY was November 9th.

He's not ignorant to ilovebees. I love bees NEVER SAYS ANYWHERE that Halo 2 is coming out August 24th. However, anyone who's actually seriously thought about the whole thing is staggered by the number of people that saw a countdown and assumed that Bungie was just going to surprise release the game, with no warning and next to no marketing. The fact the rumor existed is clear. The fact that so many people were gullible enough to be convinced of it is incredible.

OK... but he ACTED ignorant by saying "I have no idea how this rumor..."

Did he address anything about the site? Did I miss it?
And hey, I know there's no solid evidence, but stranger things have happened.

Hey Shishka, why did the thread discussing Frankie saying Nov. 9 or Nov. 11 for the UK, not for the US get ERASED? I started one and it got locked, then someone else started the same thing, there was more discussion and I believe I was proving to be correct, and it up and disappears, what the hell

I mean that he said 'for the UK' Twice he said this. it was explained well in the disappearing thread. He stated it for the UK, which leaves room for speculation that he meant only for UK, not US

Stop taking the first half of what he said out of context and quote the WHOLE THING:

No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum.

He's not saying he doesn't know why it started. He's not saying he doesn't know where it came from. He's not saying he's never heard of ilovebees.com. What he IS saying is that he's surprised at how gullible people are, and how quick they were to actually believe what really is a stupid and ill thought out rumor.

Did he address anything about the site? Did I miss it?
And hey, I know there's no solid evidence, but stranger things have happened.


At least thank you for admitting that you have no good reason to stick to these claims.

As for if he said anything about the site, no, he said nothing at all. And no, in today's business world, very little would be stranger than lying about the release date of a triple A video game and releasing it quietly with no marketing. Especially when it's Microsoft, they kind of have a thing for money, or maybe you hadn't noticed.

When you pre-order (at GameStop anyway...) they get your phone number to call you when the game comes in. Besides, everybody will know when Halo 2 is released.
