Yanno...Frankie didnt convince me
Now. Now. Hear me out.
I posted this in a thread a while back, but that thread got erased (erased, not locked)
In Frankie's post he states that "Halo 2 is coming out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK. It is NOT coming out on Aug 24th." And again he says "To reiterate, Halo 2 is coming out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK"
He states it twice, but each time you can read the semantics to mean that it comes out in the UK on Nov 9 or 11. It says nothing about the US, and until Frankie or another Bungie employee (Not a mod) comes out and says it's coming out on Nov 9 IN AMERICA, I can still validly believe it can be released early.
Also, using the context of his post, it would read "Halo 2 is coming out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK. It is NOT coming out on Aug 24th (for the UK)"
My take on it, anyways.
Well here's yet another example of an opinion: ;)
He clearly stated in a sentence that it "is NOT coming out on Aug 24" meaning anywhere...
If it were a continuation of the previous statement about the UK then he would have used a semi colon to seperate the text and not a full stop. Therefore, "no 24th aug release" applies to everywhere.
Besides, do you really think Bungie would delay the game for 3 months for the UK when they are making both PAL and NTSC versions parallel to each other?
Not necessarily, if the entire statement was only about the UK release, which it can easily be seen as since there is no mention of anything but the UK, then that overall statement would be meant only for the UK.
However, I think the most substantial rebuttal to my belief is that they wouldnt delay the UK release 3 months. That'd be totally whacked, but I live in the US, so more power to US, hehe.
