Well, that DOES MEAN that it DOESN'T HAVE TO come out on Nov 9th in the US.
At least, with this current "official" statement.

look Frankie has phrasesd the 9th and 11th dates in such a way they could be seen as:

1) 9th is the date for USA 11th for UK
2) Halo 2 will be released on the 9th and 11th in the UK
3) Halo 2 will be released either on the 9th or 11th for the UK
If frankie put a comma after Nov 9th or added 'in the USA' only the 1st one would be correct. But because he didnt rather than correcting the whole 24th thing it made it worse.

Anyway the first one is correct is what Im saying.

have you guys read the latest sticky edit?

This means that Halo 2 is NOT coming out August 24th, and that there will be no demo at that time, either. Frankie's word is The official word of Bungie Studios on the matter. As such, threads made to insinuate that Frankie was lying or trying to misguide people will be locked or deleted without warning to prevent the further spread of this misinformation. Yes, whether your like it or not, claiming that Halo 2 is coming out on the 24th is misinformation.

The moderators will be enforcing these rules with extreme prejudice. ANY inane threads about ilovebees will be locked, and a explanation may or may not be provided.

Those of you that aren't interested in the ILoveBees mystery, don't read the threads, it's that simple.

Yes, I've read that. But if they are REFERENCING THE U.K. over and over. Trying to make it look like they're talking about the US...

All they have to do is clear this up and I'll submit.

Ok look all the people who thinks it only refers to the UK, why dont you just go in invent your own language. You clearly have no grasp of the English language what so ever.
Also in your new language you can have 'Halo 2 is out in Nov 9th for the USA' mean 'Halo 2 is out 24th of August for USA'

you know good and well that he was talking about the US with that statement. your just looking to raise a ruckus. if this forums required the proper use of grammar than we would all be in trouble. get over it. he said quite plainly that "Halo 2 is not coming out on August 24th".

No, no, no. We can't say he's lying, or we get in trouble.
It's the truth.

By the way, THE US was never metioned. Just implied. Not good enough for me.

I agree, if Frankie or Bungie would clarify the U.S. AND UK, release dates, it would straighten everything out. The statement of "Halo 2 is not coming out August 24th" is not completely clear. If they really wanted to clear this up, they would say "the release date for Halo 2 in the US is xx/xx/xx.

Here is an interesting comment form the Xbox forums form JayQC:

I think Bungie has put a major clue in the theatrical trailer.. Doesn't it say "We are not ready" and after a few flashes of gameplay "He is". Does this ring a bell to you? It sure did for me. Since I believe the trailer is tightly related to ilovebees.com, it would make perfect sense that "We are not ready" means a surprise release in that we are not expecting it to be released on August 24th, yet the game is ready and Master Chief is ready to continue his adventure hence "He is"..Then the November 9th date at the end of the trailer does not say "on shelves" below or above as far as I know (*might* be wrong) so AtomicCow's theory about November 9th being a date IN GAME isn't too far fetched.. I sure hope this game gets released August 24th if all the bugs have been eradicated!

bungie does not have all this extra time to come in here and clear this stupid rumor that their own fans made. halo 2 is not coming out on the 24th of august because frankie is bungie and he said it isnt. he shouldnt have to say it isnt coming out on aug 24th for the USA and the UK.he is talking about in general. you early-release people are totally screwed up. use some common sense. how could they make enough copies for the 24th when they practically just started the BETA tests a little while back? not including that they would have to fix any bugs or such that the BETA showed.

Response to bentfishy:

"All this extra time"? How long does it take to write one sentence? I think they should absolutely state U.S AND UK release dates because release dates vary throughout the world.

Sticking your head in the sand does not clear anything up...

He shouldn't have had to say anything at all. But some people can't understand that when Bungie says it is coming out on Nov 9th they mean Nov 9th.

Right...so you think halo 2 should be released 2 months later in the UK than USA.
If you said like 2 months later for Germany that is acceptable as there is a lot of stuff to translate but guess what? The UK speaks the same language as the USA! Also it wont take 2 months to ship anything acorrss to us. Not even in the 1900s.

TheNeatHole doesn't believe anything.

Just pointing out all the information we have.

It is YOU making the jump of belief. All based upon an IMPLICATION, that he was talking about the US.

Like I said, I'll submit when the exact words are spoken.

i hope Bungie just keeps silent. so when august 24th rolls around and there is no Halo 2 you can just walllow in your self stupidity.

you know what i doubt anyone actually believes in the august 24th date anymore. they just like coming in here and getting a couple people all worked up. i'm through with this crap. if people want to sit around and hope that on august 24th Halo 2 is magically going to appear on there doorstep than fine. just don't come whining in here when it doesn't. this issue is done and closed. i'm not talking about it anymore.

right they dont want to feel like an idiot for believing in the early release so they make up more stupid reasons as to why its still coming out on the 24th to make them feel like they didnt waste their time for nothing.

  • 08.06.2004 9:29 AM PDT

Why would Bungie waste all of that money putting video's, ect. and ads in magazines just to release it early? I don't think they would do that.
