I think they should surprise us and just let it out on a mystery date...it would be cool...just walkin thru fred meyers and you look over and there's halo 3

No, if they didn't announce it, it wouldn't have nearly the amount of sales Halo 2 had.

Halo 3 is listed on xbox.com under the "coming soon" games.

Not a single game on that list has a scheduled release date in 2007. They're ALL either in 2006 or the date has yet to be announced.

Grand Theft Auto 4 is due October 2007, and it's NOT on the coming soon list.

1/1/2007 feels to me like it would fit.

What is the deal with 7/7/07 wouldn't you all like it to come out this Nov. like H1 and H2


It's Bungie that has the 7 obsession, not us.

If it came out on 7/7/07, that would be my greatest birthday ever. But it's a Saturday, and I don't recall any games coming out on a Saturday. :(

  • 05.30.2006 11:08 AM PDT

Since Bungie is so into 7's I think the will be realeased 5771 years, on 7/7/7777 !!!!! No, the game will be realeased when it's done, and when it is the best game Bungie can make it.

I guess those are good reasons, but I believe the game is due out:

11/7/2007

So be patient and wait. This game will not be rushed! Go Bungie!

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame.
They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

Finish the Fight

Well, as far as Halo 3 is concerned, I say November, probly the 7th. Also, did Halo 1 come out on the 9th? i thought the xbox launched on the 15th.....And i really really think the movie will be released 7/7/07. it's perfect---right in the summer movie season and all 7's.

Halo2 9th november 2004

Halo3 9th november 2007

Wow, nice deduction.
I agree.
Bungie is the type to do that funny stuff too.

7/7/7 for the movie would fit. I read that the movie was pushed back, but no release date has been officially confirmed. 11/7/7 for the game would fit the with their previous development and release schedules. And also with the E3 hype pattern for the other halo games. Look for some MP gameplay in the 2007 E3 and then the big buildup through next summer...

With Gears and RB64 and Splinter Cell all coming out this holiday, the 360 is in great shape this season and will have Halo3 coming next holiday.

Stinks to wait but that is life...

117 sounds good but did you notice the different armour the hand plats r different

  • 05.30.2006 11:39 AM PDT

Halo 3: Collapse
Chapter 20, Revelations, is up (update 11-14-10)
The Mirratord

Ω

I think it would be funny if they didn't announce when it was coming out until after it was in stores, then they could sit back and watch the stampedes.

I think the movie is set to be released sometime in 2008.

Damn it... read this.

Click ME!

Ok... Now I have posted this article about 5 times now, and I think you should read it. It contains real quotes from Microsoft and Bungie employees looking retrospectively at the release of Halo 2 and the franchises impact on the Xbox's success. It answers many questions and gives some clues as to why Halo 2 was a "disapointment" when it came to the single player game.

However, if you are too lazy to read it I will sum up the parts that I think are important in this thread, It says that Halo 1 was a launch title and that is why it came out in Nov (the 15 btw). Ok simple enough for Halo: CE, but Halo 2 was scheduled for 2003 (unbelievable I know, but thats what Microsoft originally asked for... so that bungie had time for a 360 launch game) but it ended up being pushed to march 2004, In the company since no release date was given to the public for a while. Halo 2 didn't come out in March because it wasn't ready... it was pushed to november at the last minute and supposedly 3 levels were cut off of the end (hence the bad ending) because microsoft wanted Halo 3. Believe it or not after Halo 2 came out in Nov of 2004 Microsoft was still pushing for a 360 launch title. In a nutshell Halo games come out as soon as they can, and not in November because of any sort of preference. It was just a coincidence.

Note: the article is from a book, some of the quotes are real and most of the facts it uses can be traced to reliable sources, but some of the conclusions it draws are the speculation of the author...

seriously though, are stores open on new years where you guys are?


If Halo 3 was coming out on the 1st I know all the game stores would be open. No chance they close on its opening day.

Bungie has said that the movie will not affect the games release date at all. Whether thats true or not IDK.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

i'm thinking either a summer launch, april or may, or a christmas launch, november.

As the veil of lunacy descends, as past and future blend and shuffle, one image appears and flickers through the landscape, wraithlike. It is the Hatchling, the Newborn, walking the path of corruption, a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible.

Halo 3 is going to be released Febuary 13th 2007, I'm calling it


I hope it's a week later because Feb. 20 is my birthday and I'd like to make my girlfriend stand in line at EB with all the sweaty nerds, it would be hilarious.

I heard of a microsoft rumour that in the war of the consoles between the xbox360 and the ... playstation3 ... Halo3 will be strategically released to coincide with the playstations3's release. Those clever cookies.
ps, don't tell anyone. And i certainly didn't say it.

Bungie would not sell something on New Years, most stores are closed and won't sell it, and if you're just rounding around that date, you're still wrong. MICROSOFT = WANTS MONEY. To get money, you sell things in late October/November/Early December... it's called the Holiday Season and that's when most game systems videogames, dvds or consoles are released, because they are more likely to get purchased as a gift. I have a few friends who wouldn't even have Halo 2 if they hadn't received from parents etc. for christmas, they would lose a lot of release day sales and things like that, something which they need to set & break records.
