OK so Bungie's and the guys have been dropping some major hints as of late regarding release dates I'm sure you all have picked up on them since many of my Flood buddies have moved in here now.


And I would be utterly shocked into a coma if this date has not been talked about before.

Bungie has clearly announced HALO 3 due in 2007 But when?

January 1st 2007 yes thats Spartan 117.

With hints of play teststing and stuff looking nearly final. Marty having Free time to do that Concert stuff.

That Bungie FAir they had when everyone gets together to show off where they are. I'd would go into a coma and neeed shck therapy But I'm feeling a Launch For Halo on 1/1/07

Discuss.

117 falls on a Monday. New years Day a day which No one will be working anyways except retail stores and malls open

Halo 2 set a record in sales


Imagine now launching Halo 3 on a day when young men 18-24 with surplus cash on hand to spend are off work and no school

it will be simply huge the lines and crowds will simply be impossible, And why even Bother going home

Party all Night 12/31/06 and drive or go to the stores which will open with plenty of HAlo 3 instock buy it then drive home. Its like if HAlo 3 had a built in Launch world wide celbration you simply couldn't imagine a better day Ithink they planned this in advance

I'm sure they named MC as Spartan 117 a little before Halo 3 was even in the imagination phase.

A much better guess, I think, would be July 7, 2007 given their obsession with "7".

Much more like it.

  • 06.26.2006 9:27 AM PDT

meh........

I see what you're saying now. But it won't happen. They would NEVER release a game right after christmas.

7/7/07 is a Saturday, so is highly unlikely but not improbable.

just thought id point out a small problem with your theory

IF NO ONES AT WORK WHO WILL BE SELLING THE GAME???

also if they were gonna release a game around that date it would be before christmas

finally they cant give a release date because there is no way they could possibly tell when they will be finished

The only Bungie release date that bungie would have that includes something involving the game in 7/7/07, but that looks like it wont happen, because the game is almost done. I think it will be released in February.

What kind of logic would lead you to believe it will be released in February? Anytime between December 15, 2006 and November 1, 2007 is out of the question. Bungie and Microsoft are going to release it for the holidays, plain and simple.

I think it's more likely that it will come out on november 7th, which would make it 11/7. this is a tuesday which is good as well because games arre normally released on tuesdays. it's only 2 days before wyhen halo 2 launched, so it is probably possible from a development standpoint.

so the dates we have now are:

1/1/07 (unlikely considering that this wouldnt really give them time to finish the game. it would also cause sales to suffer because almost no stores are open on new years eve.)

7/7/07 (also unlikely due to sales for games during the summer traditionally not being so good. it might however provide enough time to finish the game)

11/7/07 (i think this is the most likely of all the symbolic dates because it forms 117, it would allow bungie enough time to finish the game, sales would be good because of the holdiay season, and it's 2 days before when halo 2 launched.)

oops, you're right. i read my calendar wrong. it's a tuesday, which is a PERFECT time for a game to be released, as they are usually released on tuesdays.

Heres a crazy idea! That may not be right to you fellows.

It will come out, when they have worked everything out from it.

But sorry, please, continue flinging random numbers at eachother. You seem to enjoy it.

  • 06.26.2006 10:12 AM PDT

Kick start a craze

7/7/07 gets my vote. The game sounds like it's a good way done because they've said that they've played multiplayer and campaign right? But I mean, how many of us here have made a video game before? We don't know how much more has to be done. So i think it will be a little later than 1/1/07, not to mention new years day.
