I am sure i will get flamed for this thread but i will say it anyway with everyone screaming "i know the release date my brother friends cousins roomates aunties brother in law went to our local generic games shop and they had the barcodes/boxes/demand forms/release date for halo 3 and it is sometime this year (Oct 06 is popular) it comes out. Now we know Bungie are crafty and are masters of keeping things hidden from us on a Machiavellian scale but with them stating "Finish the fight 2007" would they release halo 3 this year? was 2007 a red herring? As much as i would like to have halo 3 in my hands this year i doubt it would be released ahead of "schedule", from what we have seen so far we may able to have a educated idea on how far they are in making the game here's my 10 pence of help feel free to flame or at least help so us Halo hungry people may have a glimmer of hope on its release date:

1)The trailer section said that it is set 1/2 way through the game, so i suppose unlike movies a game would be created start to finish in that order and not all jumbeld about like in films to save money - This means they are at least half way through making the game maybe even more because i dont think they would show newly finished hot off the press virgin code to show for E3 they would have had to plan out what bits in advance to show off so that i think puts us over the half way point.

2)With models and T&L from the trailer alone we see that the M.C model is complete, so is the AR , Phantom and Banshee models and at least the texturing for the mombassa stage is completed along with rudimentry AI programs for the flight of the vehicles.

3)In the making of trailer we have all seen the shotgun model minus texture,new marine/pilot,the line up of enemies 3-4 that i can make out from shapes and shadows(Jetpack brute? etc...) they looked pretty shiny and complete to me including the weapons that they are holding so already there is a fair line up of characters and models "completed"

4)We know from weekly updates that "ahem" a lot of WORK has been done on the multiplayer side of things aside from some glitches a lot has been covered so we can assume there is a seperate group assigned to deal with the multiplayer side of things (the poor devils i dont know how they cope with it lol) so with the possiblity that a few levels have been completed, with T&L due them thinking its so pretty in the levels, the players characters must be well done (more weight to the finished M.C model/Player interface/HUD) with the possiblity of the Elite model finished(No sightings) but with halo 2 allowing people to be Elites we can assume they will be available in H3 , we dont know if there will be other multiplayer Characters to choose from but i doubt there will be many if any at all,the grenades are complete except for one or two glitches mentioned in a weekly update.

Thats all i can think off for now so please help in any way you can by confirming things i may have missed and if someone can fill these gaps for me we may have a better estimation: when was Halo:ce started ,finished + released (Production to release time) , the same question for H2 and since we know they started H3 when H2 was released that can give a rough idea of when H3 might be released (they started work about November 9th 2004) so that means they have been working on H3 for nearly 1+1/2 years so compare this time to other development times we might have a rough idea on when it will be completed

Sorry i didnt know this was a spelling competition if you arent going to help please dont spam and bring down other peoples posts thats just unsportsmanlike but i suppose opinions are like butt-holes , everybody has one......... remember you are an unique individual just like everyone else

  • 06.21.2006 3:43 AM PDT

the release of the movie and the release of the game do not have anything to do with eachother whatsoever.

And the two dumbasses who didnt read it, dont post. That simple.

oh a summary for the lazy one: Dont post anymore.

Huh?

The other possible time is to coincide with the launch of the PS3.

Does anyone think the points that i listed are valid? do they make sense? does anyone know how long Halo:CE and Halo 2 were in development?

I guess your points are valid but its kinda obvious its going to be released in 2007. Bungie isnt going to tell millions of people 2007 and then all of a sudden say "You know what, 2006 is a good year lets release it now." Also, I think Halo 2 was in production for about 3 year.

if they released it before 07, when people found the smallest flaw with it, they would begin using it as an excuse to complain and whine about it, saying that it was rushed and shipped out too early (probably because of pressure from microsoft to compete against the PS3). Bungie wouldnt be that foolish.

The release date WONT be the same as the PS3. I read a Toy's R Us catalog today and it said the PS3 and Wii Nintendo will be realease in November.

Unless they mean November next year...see the pattern arising.

You know Bungie. They might be making us think we have to wait until 2007 and then go "Hey! Guess what!? It's not really 2007! Have a copy of Halo 3!"

I know that thinking it would be 2006 would wrong but would be nice ,but with all things magical misdirection is the key

If you could please use some spaces, indents, and proper grammar, then I'd be happy to read this.


Wow! Usually when someone slates someone for grammar and spelling, I can usually find errors in their statement. But you, ten out of ten!

My mistakes=
"But" is a conjunctive and cannot be used at the start of a sentence.
"," is not placed correctly.

Also instead of "But you", it should be 'But for you'.

Carrots.

Maybe, but you can't know for sure.
Also... Put some commas and periods in there, imagine trying to have to say what you've wrote without stoping.

I do believe Bungie confirmed they were planning on releasing the same day as the PS3...
