I don't think that Bungie has announced a particular release date yet, the common belife is sometime in March 2007 or whats called 1st quarter 2007

That makes no sense.

I think Halo 3 will get delayed at least till Christmas 2007 this gives Bungie more time to optimize the code and add all the gameplay features reduce lag and not rush the game

it also gives Microsoft a huge gun in the fight something for them to show off at E3 2007

MGS4 PS3 won't be out till 2007, and all they have show are CGI prerendered trailers, at least MS has show an actual ingame trailer running at 60fps.

And plus Bungie needs the time to fix the muddy textures and fogging in the draw distance just look at this forums pic. above.

Ummm, the MGS4 triailers are all real-time buddy. As far as the "muddy textures" go, did you even look at the trailer? Watch it on the 360 on a HDTV at 720p and then come talk about "muddy textures". You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm willing to bet Halo 3 will be ready 7/7/07 or maybe even 1/1/07!

I hope your theory isn't true b/c I can't wait another year and half for this game. If so, they better do a good job keeping fans up-to-date with trailers, pics, FAQ's, etc.

actually the MGS4 is CGI not in game

I saw actual in game engine when he moved the camera change colors shadows inr realtime
etc. but that fast action stuff and nooting etc is CGI but looks very close to real game

And if Microsoft gives HAlo 3 more development time till Christmas 2007 it will be the event of the year like Halo 2 was in 04, 3 years development time is pretty much standard for a game of HAlo 3's quality and switching to totally new hardware platform

so from Nov 9 2004 till Nov 9th 2007 seems very fair

carry on Bungie

Marh 2007 will likely collide with the PS3 launch date now if you were Microsoft that would be to tempting a target

I agree, it would be nice if it came out earlier but i think it would be better if they waited and got everything working really good, this game will be awsome and shipping it before christmas will work out great i think!!!

Personally i can wait for Halo 3, i mean if waiting till the Holiday season of 07' means a smoother game with less glitches,
( we all remember stand by and super bounces "shudder".)
Then i will happily wait the extra time to avoid that mess again.

Why would you wait in line like a bunch of idiots for a game? I pre-ordered my Halo 2 through EBgames.com and got free overnight shipping.

these major game releases are all about the christmas season

like the next guy in a perfect world I wish it was ready today


But in reality Bungie probably has a deadline of October 31st 2007 Remeber their Halloween themed HAlo 2 is done party video Frankie did.

that gives them enough time to Test and go through Cert. and actually Press the DVD's

March 2007 is unrealistic

and besides if you do buy Halo 3 in March 2007 by Christmas your gonna want something new and it will look old by then

My guess is that it will be th eevent that stops the Earth come Nov 2007

And besides 3 years is a fair amount of time to wait given the fact that Bungie had to switch to all new hardware and a new Programing code engine everything on these new PowerPC based CPU's

Nov 2004 to Nov 2007 is 3 years thats pretty darn good going from xbox 1 to xbox 360

I remember awhile back, a certain Bill Gates said that the launch of the PS3 would run right into the launch of Halo 3. Just something to think about....

  • 05.16.2006 12:14 PM PDT

I heard it comes in march 2007

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

I dont care how long they take, aslong as they make it as good as they can! I dont care if its 1.5 years, or 3 years....

But no more than 3!

I agree and disagree at the same time. Yeah we all know about the problems Halo 2 had, but seriously 3 years is a little overboard. Their staff has being growing for quite some time now, so it should be much easier for them to get more work done. Bungie is very well known for their slow development times, but also for the best games out there. I think they might be trying to change that by getting more people to build Halo 3 faster. I truely could wait til the end of next year if it were with another company, but with Bungie everything is so secretive, and they hardly release anything beforehand which kind of ticks me off. But anyways thats just my thoughts on the situation. If I could decide, I would go with a summer release, so I can don't flunk out of college by playing it too much. :)

Something you have to remember is most of H3's story was already done because of the way H2 ended. Taking away the story development of the game eliminates a large portion of development time.

A March 2007 release has a distinct advantage over a November 2007 release. By having it in March it will cause a fury of 360 purchases in Christmas 2006. If it gets released last quarter of '07, people may wait to pick up a 360 until Christmas 2007. Releasing it in March will cause a TON of people who are waiting on H3 to get their 360 to try and get it earlier. The earlier 360's are in housholds the more Microsoft can make.

No, you're wrong.

Sony has openly admitted that the MGS4 trailers, so far, have been rendered and not real-time. In fact, most trailers, so far, on the PS3 haven't been real-time.

Don't try to be smart; you're clearly not.

I think it should be released 1 or 2 months before the movie. If the Halo movie covers all 3 parts than it might be a spoiler to the actuall game if the game is released after the movie.

P.S. I dont like spoilers especially the campain of Halo. Multi is fine but not campain.

I'd prefer to have it come out in November. As much as I disliked camping out in the cold with my friends for 2 days. It really was fun because random people came and brought us food. We had a LAN party goin in between other peoples tents for Halo 1 those were good times and I'd like to do it all over again.
