Can anyone tell me the release date for Halo 2 in the uk. will it be the same time as USA. Because its not really fair if USA gets their hands on it first (firstly because they get a headstart on LIVE and they can compete the game before uk) and Europe has to suffer Months or so before we get a PAL version. Please say that they will be out at the same time...i cant wait. Thanks

I Can't believe that they haven't said anything about a world wide release, if NOV 9 is US only it stinks like Killzone.

I live in the UK as well and have been wondering about this for months. I hate to moan at Bungie or whoever is responsible for the distrubution (I'm guessing that's MS actually) but it had better be! I will be mad, no, furious if Americans get to learn all the maps first and then thrash us online. Usually I put up with games being released later here because they improve them (apart from Ninja Gaiden having it's decapitation remomved) but Halo 2 will be at it's best as soon as it's launched.

On a brighter note, I've set up a countdown timer in my taskbar! 181 days to go! I've just had a though. If the release date is the same, we would actually be the ones getting it first! Timezones are usually annoying but in this case I would love it.

I would seriously go out and beat up everything american if they released it later. Then it it. Then -blam!- it out on the cold, hard, pavement.

We waited 5 months last time for Halo and this time I'm willing to wait from tuesday to friday. Not only will I break down and cry if I have to wait months, I will probably kill my mum/mom who is american then I would chop my body in half as I'm half american.

Well thank you MR Sweden you have put all of our minds at rest. We can all go to sleep now knwoing that HALO 2 is coming out on NOV 9.

Do you really think that the people in shop (tent) know what there talking about. I just hope someone at Bungie puts our mind at rest and anwser one question.

Is NOV 9th a worldwide release date? If not when are your friends across the pond gonna kick some US ass.

Allright this is how it is. Everyone in the UK knows that games are released on a Friday, always a Friday.... NOT Tuesday(November 9th)!! =(

But Bungie have made it clear on this website (and I quote) "November 9th will be here before we know it and we can ALL play together. In the meantime, enjoy the new screens and stay tuned to Bungie.net for more info!". I didn't Caps the ALL either so they've emphasised that and that makes me glad because lets face it THEY'VE HAD TIME!!

Anyway what I'm saying is that Bungie are big and bold enough to ship this on Tuesday the 9th November in the UK =) but if they don't it wont be later than Friday(but I dont think that'll happen). Sorry I cant prove this in anyway ;-)

P.S I walked into GAME this morning when I found out and asked the guy at the till.... he laughed and rolled his eyes and said actually we have it out in October.. so I put him straight and walked out. leave it a few days and they'll pull their fingers out and roll info out to their stores!

Not that we British could do much if it did come out later but it would mean Americans, although good guys that they are, would have more practice before we came online, ah well i might just move there to get it first.
