I know it may come off as a large assumption but does anyone here feel there is no way Bungie would pass up their holiest day with anything but a game release?

Really the one day in a thousand years that has all 7's in it (bungie's favorite number followed up by 3 and 10).

Or are thay planning something else for this date such as the bloody coupe of microsoft or the release of the giant slingshot. Or perhaps this is the chosen date where thier world domination will be fulfilled.

Sorry if this has not at the very least sparked some interest I just felt that given an 07 release year there would be no way bungie would pass up such an oppurtunity.

In no way am I trying to tell bungie that they better release something on this day but rather just pointing out that they have probably had this date on their minds and held for something for quite a while.

I don't think that Bungie sets the release date. The big heads do it instead.

A release date like this comes only once every decade. They could plan it like that. Unless Bungie decides to wait till 2017?

I know they don't officially set the release date as they are not in charge of that but they do have some minor say in the issue. It wouldn't be to much of an off request. If anyone in charge of the marketing for them has any knowledge of bungie then they would surely see the importance of that day to them.

Though honestly I would be happy with just a special announcement or perhaps a compilation video of all of bungie's works over the years (with some videos of their checklist being fullfilled from the early mac days to finding ling lings head to a quick vid of the bloody coupe)

Verbose, as usual.

I have a feeling that Microsoft would rather time the release of this game to crush Sony's launch of their new platform than play to bungie's superstiscous whims.
However, this franchise has been responsible for god knows how many dollars in hardware and software sales.
I know that every single Xbox related Item I own; tons of games, 3 consoles, countless controllers ( I went on a buying spree when they stopped making the Duke model.) is a direct result of my friend convincing me to play Halo: CE for the first time my sophmore year.
How fitting that the release date would come on such a holy day for Bungie. Money, is of no object to Microsoft as it is, they might just do it.

I doubt H3 will be released then, its a long long time. It may be the movie that would be released then. Another movie released on a similar kind of special date.

Well i think if Bungie realy has a hard-on for this 7 number, than i think it's most likely possible that the date we can look forward to is 07/07/07 as none of us will ever see this number again. Even thou this is old about the site start-up but the heading changes each time this site is loaded, and one of the heading has *7* three times in the word Truth.
777
07/07/07

Think what some of you guys want, but my bet is on this date :)

I got his sarcasm...one person has to implement sarcasm and then you get a pile of terrorist chipmunks crashing your party, not fun at all..

Yes Bungie is obsessed with the number 7. But I'm pretty sure Microsoft has final say and won't wan't to pass a chance to crush the PS3. Thing is PS3 is realeasing December this year, so I don't think Microsoft would mind shipping on 07/07/07. But some guy at EB told me that Halo 3 would come out December this year when I preordered it. Im sure it isn't as the trailer says otherwise. M$ is definitely gonna combat the PS3 launch with something, my guess is COD3

I'll bet my unborn children that that PS3 release date will be the same release date as GEARS OF WAR.

Bungie has to be salavating at the idea of a 7/7/07 release date though. That would be proper.

  • 06.06.2006 10:24 AM PDT

They better! it better not be 12/31/07!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, 7/7/07 is a Saturday. I can name all of the games on my fingerless nub of a hand that have been released on Saturday.

ALSO A saturday release date would be MEGA ULTRA cool. (soory i NEEDED to say that)
Because most games are released on a tuesday. People are in the middle of school on tuesdays. And their biggest fan base is kids, big nerds. A satyurday would give us all saturday and all sunday. I mean 48 ours to play would be mega smart. And they could actually go to the 12:00 release date on that friday because there is no school the next day. You see saturday makes a lot of sence.

It doesn't make a lot of "sence", as you say, because people are going to buy the game regardless. Are you telling me you wouldn't buy it if it was released on a Tuesday like every other game? If you guys are so interested in Bungie's "holy" numbers, try 7/3/07... that's a Tuesday.

If I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good nite.

The Nov. 9th release date could have been coincidence, but look a little deeper. What has happened on Nov. 9th in the past? Say the year 1939? Yeah the single most heinous genocide in the world. The holocaust began on Nov. 9th, 1939. This shows that the covenant were gonna slaughter humanity. You can bet your life that most of humanity has been wiped out from the trailer.
So back to Halo 3. 7/7/07 is going to a super sweet date. Bungie is not going to pass up on this opportunity.
