What if HALO 2 is already complete but they just don't want to release it to the masses yet? I have a feeling that at least the campign is done and tested for bugs. I also think that the multiplayer is done, but just needs more testing and fine tuning on LIVE. If someone on the inside could please comment on this since they don't seem to be saying anything on a release date, or even month. All they can say is, "Fall".

How would they come up with the weekly updates? I highly doubt they are done with Halo 2. If you are going off the rumor that was circulating a few months back, I'm gonna have to respectfully say your wrong.

Yeah, it's definitely not done yet, but I think it'll be done at the end of Summer vacation. The last few month will be spend on advertisement and commercials, and of course on making millions of copies of Halo 2.

NOW i CANT SLEEP.
I do agree that the last few months will be used for advertisement and i think that they do have some ways to go now.

They don't need to make commercials. Halo 2 will sell regardless =) I hope they do though (make ads that is)

yes u r right halo 2 will sell regardless but in 1 way u r wrong. now i dont no about u guys but when i was about 8-12 years old i would be sold by ads. basically if they made a game look kewl, i would buy it. now halo2 is obviosuly gonna be amazing but take an average ps2 fan about 8-12 yrs old. (maybe older) now he thinks halo 2 is just another fps so he's not gonna even worry about the game. but then he's sittin on his couch watching tv when you get a halo2 commercial that sends a shiver down his spine because of the great music graphics and all that. then he's like I GOTTA GET THIS GAME, so he goes to ebgames gets an xbox reserves halo2 and theres another sale. trust me this will happen to many many people and ads are needed. personall i think they should make a huge master chief and put it hangin up in the middle of time square, but thats just me!

It sounds like they are much, much further along than Halo was at the same point in its development cycle. Much of what they are doing is balancing, polishing and testing. Transition animations, network optimization, weapon tweaks and doing the detailing of the levels has been the focus of the weekly updates.

Whether the game ships in September (as I hope it will) or November (as I suspect it wil), it is clear that the game will be both ambitious and polished, which seem to be opposites in today's gaming scene.

um yes u r right except if u go by the updates the last couple of weeks they have been talking about the new enemy character so they must not be completely just polising and tweaking.

I'm sure Halo 2 is playable right now. There just fine tunning everyting, making the enviroments feel and look good. The seem to be added things that will wow you probably things that you wouldn't find in most games. I like to say this thing is going to be a masterpiece. If they would have released it a year ago as I read somewhere it probably would have been a major let down. Whenever theres a new screenshot I look at every single milimeter of it to see whats new. I like how there keeping most of it a seceret. It makes people want to buy it and just play it even more.

Just imagine how many "HALO-hating PS2 Fanboys" will convert when they see the commercials for HALO 2... they should make the commercials like they make movie previews... OMG... What if they make a 3 minute preview and release it in movie theatres!! OH MY GOD... it's so beautiful...
