Whilst on the Bungie site a few weeks ago I saw the numbers 07/07/07 located on the top window bar, this could possibly relate to a release date next year in a similar way to the Omen release date here in the UK. My computer is very slow and I think it was when I was down loading the trailer on my delightful 56k modem, so the message may have only flashed for a second. But I haven't seen it since.

Has anybody else seen it?

Personally I have not seen it but it sounds like something they would do or could do, considering 7 is their favorite number.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

The "angry" part of your name suits you well.

My slow system may have given me the opportunity to see this, so everyone who uses a faster and more powerful PC may have been limited to a brief message on the bar for a fraction of a second. but on my dinosaur it was visible for quite a few seconds.

Angry has a point- the way the video game business works, it's all about having major releases per quarter. I don't think it'll be December 07, though. The Halo movie is supposed to come out in Summer 07 as of now- you can bet that Halo 3 will either come out around this time or just before it, along with probably the biggest crossover marketing campaign we've ever seen.

Personally, though, I've always felt it would come out sometime in the first quarter of 2007, a traditionally pretty lackluster time for the video game biz. Also, MS knows that the longer it takes a Halo 3 to come out, the more ground Sony or Nintendo could gain with their consoles. A March release of Halo 3 would perfectly disrupt those sales.

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

Microsoft really lobbied Rockstar Studios to get Grand Theft Auto IV and it comes out the middle of October, 2007. Do you think they would allow their two biggest franchises to release that close together and force many people to buy one or the other? Not everybody has money coming out their ass and can buy two or three games in that short period of time. I'm thinking, on par with a lot of rumors, that Halo 3 will be released sometime March 2007.

Halo: November 2001
Halo 2: November 2004
Halo 3: ________ 2007

You can figure it out.

And how do you know that?

There's no eveidence supporting a November release date right now.. That's like saying all the presidents were murdered (or shot) on a ---0 election year, so therefore Bush will be too. Comon, silly silly.

You're forgetting about the Halo movie, though- I would normally agree that November was the release date, but the Halo movie release in the Summer almost guarantees a Halo 3 release either in sync or just prior.

first of all, the november theory is a good one and will most likely happen but what banksy was saying means nothing...video game stores just set a date which will be past the release so they have some space incase they are off on the release date...bungie will probably release it in november

Yeah if GTA IV is released in the fall... Releasing Halo 3 around it would make the two conflict... Bungie has already stated "Finish the Fight 2007" so they have a planned release date in 2007. A spring release of Halo 3 and a fall release of GTA IV would desimate the competition...

07/07/07 is a Saturday.

Aren't most NEW games/CD's/DVD's released on Tuesdays?

Also 7/7/07 is a year and a month away from today (6/7/06), is that enough time to finish H3?

You're either imagining it, or are lying. Take your pick. We have never "slipped" the release date out in such a manner, nor will we do so now.

The only date you people have so far is 2007. Pay no attention to self-appointed market experts in the forums.
