Along the lines of this thread.

Even though the rumor has been stifled, I think it's safe to say everyone and anyone waiting for Halo 2 would like to have the early release, even if you dont believe in it. Right?

Obviously. The only reason I wouldn't want an early release is if it meant sacrificing time for fine tuning of the game, other than that....bring it on.

Yeah I know, it just seemed odd to me how many people flame others who believed the Aug 24 release and went as far to laugh at them. You cant tell me those people dont WANT the game early, so they're just being hippocritical(sp?) a-holes. I agree though, Bungie can take all the time they want to fine tune the game....as long as it's out by the 9th

i think its gonna come out when they said, but i wouldnt be surprised if they pushed back the date again saying that they hit like a "snag" or something, but i hope itll be released earlier, i wanna play multiplayer already.

We all realise taht the 24th is a great time to release yeah? Of course it is it would mean we get to play the game while its the holidays... And sure we are alol exited about teh agme and an early release.

But you have to be realistic no major game can ship in 2 weeks.... It has to be the 9th for USA and 11th for the UK... I seriously cant see whats hard to figure out? I mean the marketing exectutive had a tatoo on the date?

and that is not hippocritical at all...

I now believe it not to be a release.

Dont use the tattoo as evidence though, it was proven in a Mag (Cant remember which, it might have even been an IGN article) that it was fake.

I think they still have too much work to do to get it out by the 24th. It would be cool, but I just don't think it would be physically possible.

The other big reason I see it staying at the Nov. 9th date is that the period approaching Christmas is huge for sales. This is a very sound release date from a marketing perspective.

August 24th? I hope it comes out then; I wish it would come out then; but other than that, I will not say that I believe it will come out then. In fact, I never really did; I was in the OXM demo crowd myself.

I have gotten to the state where it would be awesome even if they just gave me some info; I think that's what Bungie wanted. I will not be mad at them, as long as I get something, maybe some 3d screenshots? Just screenshots? Screenshots and tons of written info? Any one will fit me fine.

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.


I hope things get better for ya man.

Look at it this way

1. The target audience for game consoles was between 8 and 16 when genesis and super nintendo came out.

2. The target audience for the new gaming consoles has moved up to 16 - 24. (not saying that u can't be younger that that to play them)

3. My buds and I still play and i am gettin to be old balls

So I will probably play games until i die (hopefully not for a long, long time) *knocks on wood*

Call me insane, because that is what i am for going against Frankie's 2 statements. And i know their true... but i just want to believe that their not! that frankie is going to say, FOOLED YOU! when halo 2 comes out on the 24th. There's just to much evidance for me to ignore. With the metastasize thing, this is so much more exciting. I won't be dissapointed if it doesn't come out on the 24th... But IF it does, you all need to know, that i am the only Halo 2 faithful on here.

When all shreds of hope are destroyed, and all reason for belief is lost... maybe, that's when we need to hope the most... (or maybe that's when we've crossed the line, and can't let something drop)
