Of course we all know Halo 1 was rushed to make it at the launch of Xbox. And while Halo 2 has been taking it's sweet time preparing before it too must launch, the fact of the matter is, it MUST launch!
In an earlier issue of Official Xbox Magazine, I believe I remember them saying that Microsoft is giving Bungie all the time it needs to develop Halo 2. And the reason being that Bungie doesn't have the pressure of releasing for the launch of Xbox anymore. Bungie is now free to create the ultimate game they desire... or are they? Also, in the earlier OXM mag, I believe I remember them saying that MIcrosoft is giving them all the time they need, however, if Bungie was not to come out with a release date soon enough, Microsoft would eventually have to step in and say "Okay, you need to decide on a release date now." And it wasn't that long ago that Bungie decided on a release of "Fall, 2004."
So, anyway, I wonder if Bungie is being pressured yet again for a release? Will Halo 2 truly be all it can be this Fall of 2004? I'd much rather Halo 2 be delayed longer than have it wrapped too soon (if that's what's happening) if Bungie feels Halo 2 really needs longer time in development.
