the article talks about EA now on Xbox Live and then states this about Halo 2 having been told today

Microsoft also on Monday gave a November 9 launch date for the sequel to its popular Halo video game. The original game has sold 4.5m copies, putting it among the biggest-selling video games ever, and played an important part in Microsoft's efforts to break into the games business with Xbox.

true it's not "from bungie" but it looks really trustworthy and I've been following alot of E3 coverage and MS press con thats going on right now

Meh, I wouldn't consider anything like that 100% true until I heard it from Bungie themselves. It's a Tuesday though. I hate how games are released on weekdays. It should be released on Thursday or Friday for the weekend. Sounds promising though!

You have to remember that this is from the guys at Microsoft. The same people that said that Halo 2 would be coming out in March this year. Wait until Bungie says a date to start saying stuff like that.

they just finished showing Halo 2 at the Press con, here is what happened


Halo 2 multiplayer is being demoed for the first time, and the crowd cheered very loudly. This particular map is in Zanzabar. Each suit in Halo 2 multiplayer is very customizable. In the demo, one person is a covenant and one person is a master chief guy. You can have two different weapons, one in each hand. He killed the covenant enemy and picked up his weapon.

All the vehicles have been overhauled, and all are fully destructible. He blew off one wing and then the other, destroying it bit by bit; very impressive. Same can be done with the Warthog, which now is equipped with a rocket launcher. And, the more damaged your vehicle is, the harder it is to drive.

it's offical:


Update #12

The Halo 2 demo continues, and they are showing off the physics models by blowing up the warthog. Now he's talking about the demo that will be playable on the show floor at E3. They will have a CTF (capture the flag) map that will be fully playable. It's basically a quick flyby of the level so people know where the weapons and stuff are located.


Official street date for Halo 2 announced: November 9th. In fact the guy tatooed the Halo 2 logo and release date on his arm. Set in skin, so to speak. There will be a huge television ad campaign.
