Poll: Who believes in the early release in spite of frankie's comments.  [closed]
I believe in an early release:  32%
(36 Votes)
It's coming out Nov. 9th like they said you idiot.:  68%
(77 Votes)
Total Votes: 113

here is why i still hope for the early release.

1.I can't see Bungie putting an egg in their OFFICIAL trailer without a damn good reason. (but hey, i'm not bungie)

2. The cams are contiually, gradually more suspicious.

3. It is a fools hope. But it is a hope.

choose a side now, if we're wrong, oh well. but what if we're right? i'll leave you on that thought.

24th because hope keeps us alive, but I'm sure it will be on the 9th so I can fail my last year of college. I'll never be ready for finals.

No Way. Halo 2 isn't going to be relased until Nov 9th, I only expect A TON of new info, some new screens and maybe a new vid. That's alot but H2 is has a 000000000000000000000000000000000.01 percent chance that AUG 24th is the release. Oh, did I mention to look ar Frankie's post.

I believe that an early release, despite all of the coincidences and suspicions is still very unlikely. However, I do believe it is possible but not very probable.

I believe that if they were truly going to release it early they would be spending their time as of right now advertising in some way the early release to raise awareness for people that aren't as Halo hardcore as we are. A suprise would be a great way to promote the game, but not the best way and they know that.

I'm sure after the beta there will still be a ton of work left to do. I believe they still have alot of work left to do even if they are done with the game.

The game doesn't need to be promoted, they could never advertise once and it would have a fine result on an overall sales record. How unbelievable this game is will spread by word of mouth faster than Herpes.

In other words, what you said is that it has a 0.01% chance... You didn't need all those other 0's before the "."

I think an august release is possible, but I'm not entirely sure if I bleive it will be released then. Until there is more proof, I can only *hope* it comes out in August. Until then, I vote Nov. 9th.

Your right! However, if they want to pick up new players then they will have to promote and advertise. I have several friends who used to be very into Halo and a week ago they didn't have a clue when Halo 2 was coming out much less if it was in the making. They are just like many other people out there.

Just because someone hears of Halo 2 doesn't mean they will buy it or even care about it. You have to promote it and advertise to influence some people.

Don't forget and do keep in mind that everyone in these forums are hardcore Halo fans and we are only a tiny tiny fraction of the people they need to reach.

There are millions of people who don't care about Halo or Halo 2, and still won't after they hear about it from a friend but will however when they see the advertising and promotion. Think about it.

well my silvery friend, it could be one of many reasons....

1. the mods like me more

2.the mods aren't on

3. i phrased the poll and topic in a spirit of good will

4.the mods are in a good mood, and feel human emotions like compassion and mercy

5. the mods hate you

6.noone has flamed anyone in my thread yet

All valid points, don't disagree with em at all. However, these same friends you're talking about, when they get Halo 2, they're gonna spread it around like a frickin disease. The friends of friends who you say would need the ads to buy the game, not just their friends' word of mouth, will play the game at some point. Then they have to buy it...cause come on...

JAke jake jake, of course it will sell less, but i'm saying that if anyone lays a finger on this game they will immiediatly be sucked into a state of euphoria and feel the need to buy the game at once. This playing of the game takes place at lan parties where friends bring friends. And game demos.

If i were bungie, i would release the game on august 24th with little to no warning. Then, i would advertise that it is out like crazy. And release a demo disc in november. Have you ever met a video gamer that didn't like halo? I can honestly say i haven't, even the peeps that suck really bad, they still love the game. 90%+ of all X-box owners own halo. I think they all will buy the sequel, regardless of when it comes out, or when they hear about it.

Sorry i don't have a link to the stat about the 90% thing.

To be honest, I have hope for other things in my life. I hope my girlfriend decides to stay with me, I hope i get the job i went for an interview for recently, etc. When you get to my age (18) videogames aren't as important as they once were. Its a sad fact, but its true. I still really enjoy playing them, they help me to relax in the evening or take my mind of worries, but they are just not such a big part of my life as they were when I was younger, say 8-16 years old. It sucks dude, but.... you grow up. It really sucks, I would give anything to be that young again, no worries, no REAL responsibilities.... And don't say something like 'doing chores' is a responsibility, cos it doesn't compare. Sorry to bring you down dudes, its just i have been through a hard time this past couple days, still going through hard times, thought i might share it with you.
