Wrong! Not OFFICIALLY. It was an offhand comment made by Frankie in the forums. Compare this to the time before when they officially rebutted early release speculation on the front page--or was it a Nintendo release rumor? I don't know, but it's there.


if that same offhanded comment would have been made about halo 2 confirming release on august 24th by Frankie i wonder who would be calling it official and backing it now.

www.ilovebees.com is an ARG. In other words, it is a game that is meant to be played. Since it is tied to Halo 2, there will most likely be background information and hints to the story of Halo 2. In no way is it suggesting that there will be a demo or early release or anything of that nature. Frankie says he has no idea how these rumors gained so much momentum because he understands what an ARG is and assumed that the posters here would as well. Apparently his assumption was wrong. <sigh>

anyways, why did they ever announce Halo 2 for Christmas 2003 then, when 11 months later the game actually was to ship? well, it could go worse, like, Half Life 2, or the infamous...Duke Nukem Forever (Whenever) (Never)...

Okay, but it was planned for that date. I have a few magazines to prove that, but hey, not everything people say is true.

If it is an ARG why doesn't it countdown to Nov 9th? That would make the most sense since it will just help release information about the game that is supposed to ship Nov 9th. But it doesn't, it countsdown to Aug. 24th. THAT MUST MEAN SOMETHING! And more than just the OXM, it is definatly something big, end of story. Flame all you want, but on Aug 10th when they release it's commin out Aug 24th, BOOYA! =P

We arn't going to be crying, we are simply wishing for the best.... Don't tell me you wouldn't mind seeing it in your Xbox on Aug. 24th. So everyone here needs to stop being party poopers! ';..;' Gr!
