Your mom.

Now I know what you're thinking "it's just another one of those threads.[/url] Bu hear me out.

From the recent contract leak that happened back in May, we know that Bungie plans on releasing this game in 2013. Based on history, it would be easy to assume Q4 of 2013, as most (if not all of their games) have been released then. SO, this leaves Bungie a year or so to build up hype.

"Release" means you actually buy the game disc, go home sit on your couch and enjoy a new Bungie game. It's July. JULY. Just as a check, we're more than halfway through 2012 already. IF Bungie is going to start building up some hype and a fan base for their new game they should be announcing it "officially" before the summer ends, in my mind.

Halo CE was announced in 2000, Halo 2 in 2002, Halo 3 in 2006, ODST in 2008 and Halo Reach in 2009. These projects were announced well in a year in advance. Now with Bungie day right around the corner, I'm not saying they will announce anything officially (they probably won't) but what you and I should be looking for is information (a timeline) on when this will go down.

Bungie is done with Halo. The Halo forums shouldn't exist on this website - maybe condense them into one forum? I feel that over the next 3 months we are going to pick up many different clues here and there about their next IP. Bungie doesn't have much time. And with all the recent talk of "crunch time" in the mail sacks and DeeJ teasing, we know they're obviously up to something.

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter, I can feel it :)

Bungie isn't going to talk about their new game this year. They will next year though.

See you in 2013.

I don't play on a couch, I play on my spinny chair.

In terms of the ending darkness, I want Bungie to do it their way.

That doesn't mean they won't update the website until then. That they release subtle hints here and there about what they're doing. Giving us dates officially on when this will happen.

So much to happen between now and then.

Why do people keep citing that as some sort of obvious indicator that they won't be announcing it until 2013?

It could just as easily be referring to when the game comes out and is released.

That's true. We just might see something by the end of this year. What's great is how much hype they've build for Destiny when they haven't even shown us a single picture of it. Their marketing strategy is in effect right now. It's called suspense and it's brilliant. They might even wait for E3 of next year to reveal anything.

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit,
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

or maybe BUNGiE is planning on releasing information and their game early just to throw everyone off since we all think the release of the game and information is a long way off?

I have already said too much! I can feel the slow release toxins they implanted in my skull affektinj n0rma1 sp33ch. Mu5t n07 4g37...
