Subject: Who thinks it's going to be 7/7/07?

Those without swords can still die upon them.

I don't think Bungie will pass up this momentous date in the course of history. Their ubiquitous use of the number 7 is apparent to anyone who is fairly well versed in their games and history, and this date is the perfect opportunity for them to make a move. It's within their specified release window, and it gives them time to finish up and polish the game. It's far enough into the year to give Gears of War decent sales time, and lets the game be available for holiday purchase later in the year. Then again, when has anyone ever been able to predict Bungie. Thoughts?

So what happened to your original post? Was it ninja-tized?

Yeah it vanished without a trace.

I'm guessing November 2007. From a marketing perspective it seems like it would make the most sense for Microsoft to release the biggest game in Xbox 360 history during the biggest shopping season of the year to compete directly with the launch of the latest of largest console brand in history.

I really think that good marketing and product planning has more to do with factors like that then simply trying to hit a big mythical number.

Noh, but they are going to release some kind of thing the 7/7/07... like a trailer or maybe a 2 minute playable demo on your xbox where you can play around as masterchief in a sandbox kind of map. Just to tease. xD

does it matter if it comes out on 7/7/2007? i don't think so and im pretty sure bungie wants to make money sooner rather than later, so they can get to work on their next project sooner rather than later, this is highly unlikely (but anything is possible) , but what if they run out of money for shipping and marketing, (not that it really needs to be marketed they could just put a release date on bungie.net), but if they do wait for 7/7/2007 then it does give them more time, but it will ship when it ships.

I think it would be cool if it came out on 7/7/07, but I doubt it...

What in the hell are you talking about man? By marketing it to the Christmas season, and stealing PS3 sales, they are creating extra revenue.

They won't run out of money either, they are backed by Microsoft ... think a little bit.

And a release date on Bungie.net isn't good enough because I would bet the majority of players don't even come to this site.

7/7/07 just isn't that great of an idea, get over it.

You're going to be getting your own hopes up, because that won't happen.

Hmm... and how do you know all this? fact is you don't no one knows when it will be realeased, not even bungie knows when they will finish making Halo3, all you can really do is guess when it will be released, but they are sure it will be released in 2007. Also im sure if someone goes to Bestbuy, or Ebgames, or whereever with the intentions to buy a PS3 but ends up with halo3 rather than a PS3, will be back in a week or so to buy a PS3. Stealing a sale? hardly. A PS3 is gonna be what 600 bucks or so? well halo3 will probably cost about 59.95 plus tax, so you will just be set back not even 70 dollars, and it is a crazy world where anything is possible.

It would be a cool date, but in the middle of the summer... bad.

  • 06.11.2006 2:27 PM PDT

Either 1/1/7 or 7/7/7

I've been saying 07-07-07 since last summer. I posted a thread on it in New Mombasa (I believe) back in January.

Shishka's response (from what I vaguely remember):

Yeah, that makes sense, considering we've coordinated launches with all our games because of our favorite numbers. Wait. No we haven't. Thread locked.

I shall see if I can find it.

Its a good date for Bungie, and a memorable one... but remember when Halo 2 was going to come out and orginally it was like Spring and the August and the November... they arent going to set and exact release date this early in the game... too many things could come into play and leave way way way to many people dissappointed... Bungie will begin shipping whenever they feel like it, it could be 7/7/07 if it fits the time, I mean they surely would release it on any other date in early July.... lol but they arent going to be extremely pressed to release the game to meet there own mythical numbers. The game will be complete, tested, and what they want it to be before they would ever consider rushing it into shipping.

i hate doing stuff in all caps but PLEASE READ THIS!!

If you havn't done so already, if you change your xbox's date to 7/7/07, and go into zanzabar, the signs by the beach change into something...scary...

Long time ago, I thought maybe this is the release date. And since theyve announced it will be released on 07...well....WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I'm happy now
