Am I the only one who couldn't care less about how far along Bungie is on Halo 3 or if they'll have it done by 2007? I wouldn't mind if it wasn't released until 2009. Meh, whatever.

I just want Bungie to do whatever the hell they want with their game and not get pressured by overeager fans that want everything right now.


Noone said they want it now... nor was it really implied. This is an argument over how much of teh game is actually done. With people wanting Jan. 2007 releases and examining Bungie's every move, one would get the impression that this game is very close to being done. I am curious how many people actually share that opinion. Hell, we've already got a couple votes from people who think they are going to "surprise" us with an early release in 2007. That would be cool if they're right... but highly unlikely.
I wasn't necessarily referring to you when I said people want it now, but as a community on whole. And I am one of the ones that doubt an early 2007 release, just because a mere 8 months from announcement to release just isn't good marketing. Don't people think it would be smart for Bungie to go to next year's E3 with an actual trailer/playable demo? That would peak interest even more than what they have now.

I still think an early November release. Possibly the 6th.


That I can agree with. 1 & 2 were released in November... Why -blam!- with the pre-holiday success. Honestly, I'm probably just as irritated as you, and the point of my thread was to shut a few mouths about the early Halo release, and to hopefully enlighten a few of the Halo CSI agents who examine every picture. My God, have you read the thread that is examing the picture of Master Chief on the banner of the Homepage? It's outrageous.

*Runs to put bet on*

Any proof behind that thought? I've heard a few people theorising a 7/07/07 release, for obvious reasons.

well im sorry if i like copy and pasting things lol and your not the guy who writes the bungie news (i hope)


Neither was the quote you read. Hell, for all we know, Bungie could have hired someone to think up these teasing stories to write on the WWU... "Hey Joe, what should we write this week to keep the masses talking about Halo 3?" "Im' not sure... how about we write how cool the game is, and that it looks good on Non-HD TV's... so imagine how great it will look on HDTV's."


if you wanna play it that way then who says they are even goin to ever make halo 3?


I like the way you're thinking now. It will be like the "Ticking Man" movie back in the early 90's. The first movie to break a Million dollars for the script.. and it was never made.

Edit: Correction... it was bought for 1.5 Million in 1991, and was finally made in 2001.

Considering the weekly update states they played through some of the game missions, I'd go ahead and say they've got a fair bit of it done. Given the trailer's performance, the engine looks complete (with time left to start adding some "gee whiz" features to it).

Play testing, balancing, and so forth will eat up the early months of '07, with the rest of this year dedicated to art, cinematics, etc.

At least, that's what I would guess.

The proof behind that thought is that it has worked for Halo 1 and Halo 2 (as Agev Ecniv already mentioned). The 7/7/07 release really wouldn't work, because I've never heard of a video game being released on a Saturday (they're usually Tuesdays). Maybe they'd be willing to push the Halo Movie release date from a Friday to a Saturday to get 7/7/07...

Is 'gee wiz' a technologically advanced phrase for game's industry insiders?

Well, the Ilovebees website has started counting again... which would put the game out in 2012 if I remember correctly... so maybe it's not coming out for some time.

Actually it's commonly used among programmers to refer to features that aren't really a requirement, but really add value to the application.

I'm a member of the "they've been working on it ever since Halo 2 released" camp.

They keep talking about playing thru levels and looking at some multiplayer stuff in the Weakly Updates and I'm sure they aren't just making it up to keep us happy. In case any of you hadn't noticed, our happiness is none of their concern until after the game is released, then maybe they'll drop an update or two.

They shown anything of the game beyond a flythru of the trailer environment. Remember how the last time they showed sample gameplay it came back to bite them in the ass? I'll betting they don't want to show their hand too early this time because they aren't to the point where they've decided on level layouts.

I would think that Bungie wants to end the trilogy on a high note. I think they want to release H3 when its ready to be released. The only snag I can foresee is if PS3 sales going through the roof and MS wants something out there to distract people.

H3 would be a pretty good distraction.

dmbfan09 is right. ILB started the countdown as soon as it was over. The countdown ends as the events of Halo 2 (or the ILB campaign, I can't remember) start.

I'm not looking to start some petty discussion board argument here. I was just voicing my thoughts on the topic (as per the purpose of a forum) and felt that your derogatory comments against me were undeserved. I have seen many publications use the term, not to mention countless colleagues. I'm going to go ahead and leave the discussion at this post because you will undoubtedly reply with another smug remark. I'm even going to give you the "win" in this discussion, so you can add another notch in your belt. Congratulations, you can insult people on the Internet.

Y'know, my pedestal has this button that can put any member that is flaming other members on a week long vacation from Bungie.net. I would suggest you stop before I jump up there.

Nope, it's counting down. It has been counting down to 2552 since about 11/9/2004.

I'm not sure I can wait that long for Halo 3. 2009 isn't that serious... but 2552 is a little silly... surely you'll agree with me there.

P.S. Do you ever see a day where we will be able to use any avatar we like, and place pictures in threads, etc. like other forums?

My mate reackons that a bloke in the pub told him they could release Halo 3 right now, but they've decided to add another 14 hours where you play as the Arbiter, which has put the release date back to 2009.
