Since there is a lot of posts about release dates we can (hopefully) put them all in one thread.



02 - 06 - 07 : Tuesday : Plausable (root of 7 is 2.6)
04 - 09 - 07 : Monday : Plausable (7squared is 49)
07 - 07 - 07 : Saturday : Not gonna happen.
07 - 14 - 07 : Saturday : Not gonna happen.
09 - 02 - 07 : Saterday : Not gonna happen.
11 - 06 - 07 : Tuesday : Plausable (1162007 is divisible by 7)
11 - 07 - 07 : Wednesday : Plausable (11/7 is 117)

Most games are released on Tuesday.


So we know it's most likely a Tuesday.


If you post a date, please post why you think that's it.


If you plan on flaming... don't.
Nobody want to hear you complain.

I suppose this is much better than a new thread about 07/07/07 (although I doubt the ability of this thread to prevent idiocy in this forum), so I will post this here, one more time:

Speculation that the release date for Halo 3 is 07/07/07 is cute, but wrong. First, that date falls on a weekend. Games never come out on weekends. Second, releasing a blockbuster game in the middle of summer is practically suicide, even for Halo 3. Third, Microsoft would never allow it. Late fall releases are much more likely. For this, I speculate that Halo 3 will be released on either 11/6/07 or 11/7/07. If you flesh the number out to 1162007, the number is divisible by 7. If you flesh it out to 1172007, you get the number 117 at the beginning. Furthermore, this timeframe seems likely due to the fact that the previous two Halo titles were released in early November (11/03, 11/10, etc. are divisible by 7, but fall on weekends). It makes sense to me.

"You're never gonna fight me, I'll wipe the world away"

Well, the only 7th that falls on a Tuesday in 2007 is in August, which I doubt Bungie would release Halo 3 in August. In 2006 though, namely Nov., a 7th does fall on tuesday, but Bungie already said Halo 3 releases in 2007. So who knows, the best thing to do is simply wait on Bungie's decision to announce a release date because all the posts about this topic is just wasting people's time and making moderators really mad, (watch out for Shishka).

What day (S,M,T,W,T,F,S) do most videogames release?

Zerodev, I'm not trying to stop people from being stupid, I'm just trying to keep it in one place (as far as release dates go). At the very least it's worth a try.

Lone Heretic, thanks. I updated my origional post.

I'll keep updating it as more people reply.

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

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

You figure it out.

I'll give everyone in this forum $1000 cash if Bungie releases Halo 3 on any day other than 7/7/7777. It makes perfect sense, think about it. That gives them enough time to iron out the glitches and balancing issues, and they can release it on a date with all 7's. So in my opinion its either July 7th, 7777 or 7000 years later (notice the 7 in 7000) on July 7th, 77777. Oh and it will be released on the 7th hour at the 7th minute at the 77th second (yes I said it, the 77th second) of that launch date.

I think it will be more dependant on WHEN the game is ready to be released than some stupid connection to the number 7.

More than likely will be in November since Halo/Halo2 were released then, but... Bungie could surprise us with a earlier release :)

I'm sorry, why do people complain about us trying to figure out thing about Halo 3? Look, it's a HALO FORUM if you don't like to talk about HALO then don't come here.

Same with rap, RIAA, NRA, FCC, or other stuff you don't like.
Don't like -- DON'T READ IT, LISTEN TO IT, OR LOOK AT IT.

Nobody wan't to hear you complain.

Sorry that this is what's on EVERYONES mind.
How many people post about this? A lot. Should tell you something.

Anyway, I update my post for the people who don't complain.

Well better one thread like this than 50 threads about Best Buy releasing it in November.

[edit]

Not that this is going to stop idiots from posting 50 different threads about the same -blam!- anyways.

I don't like the 50 threads a day either,
so I'm hoping that this will stop atleast some of them.
