If you don't care when the game comes out, why did you make a thread concerning it?

I don't care when they release it. I need more time to get a job, save money, and buy a 360, that way I'll have a 360 by the time halo 3 is released.

I don't know when it will be released, but I can tell you it wasn't released yesterday, and probably won't be released this year.

They'll most likely release it during the Christmas season, in order to make the most profit off of the game. Personally, this is my idea of what Bungie should do:

1) Release the demo after summer vacation to give the kids something to talk about during the school year.
3) Start showing the trailer and some new teasers/advertisements during the fall to increase suspense.
4) Make the pre-order tickets available during the christmas season as a holiday gift (the ultimate stocking-stuffer...heh heh)
5) Finally make the game available to the public on New Year's Day, which, by the way, would be 1/1/07 (Master Chief's number). The countdown to the game's release would also be the countdown to the new year, so the publicity would be HUGE. Also, who here could think of a better way to spend New Year's Night than at a massive party with all your friends as you play your newly-purchased Halo 3's through the co-op campaign, or maybe even the XBox Live co-op campaign: millions of gamers all over the world online together to play the last installment of the greatest video game ever made...

But, that's just my opinion...

that sounds good and all but 7/7/07 or just 7/7/7 fits with their favorite number, cause 7 is teh coolest

  • 07.23.2006 5:17 PM PDT

I like your thinking. It's not the best for sales, but I do like the idea of a huge countdown.

  • 07.23.2006 5:20 PM PDT

7/7/07 seems like a good idea but I doubt it will be then. For one, not a lot of people outside of these forums realize that 7 is Bungie's special number. So only a small percentage of the customers will understand the reason for that date.

In addition, releasing in the middle of the summer is probably the worst time of the year to start selling a game. There are no shopping holidays in sight. Thus, many parents (who would normal get the game for their kids as preasents) would not purchase the game without reason.

I agree with whoever said November. It's a good time to start selling, close to the holidays.

The New Years idea is great though. If Microsoft's marketing department realizes what a cultural phenominon H3 will be, New Years would be a great success.

don't get me wrong, I would love to see it on 1/1/07 and I think it would be massive. But why would they skip christmas only to have it come out 6 days later. BTW i only like 7/7/07 because its 2 days before my b-day and I love early presents from my chica

1) So we could see all the hilarious internet videos of kids/adults freaking out when they found out they got a pre-order ticket for Christmas (chuckles)
2) So that the date that they released it would correspond with Master Chief's number and have an "oh cool" effect on the fans who knew that the date would also be his number (Besides, Bungie probably wouldn't want to wait a thousand years until the next 1/1/07 in order to pull off that cool of a stunt)
3) There is already global news coverage of the New Year's celebration, so it wouldn't be too hard for the release to be shown alongside the ball-drop. Plus, what kind of news channel would be able to resist covering a New Year's celebration where a significant percentage of the world isn't partying in it's city squares, but outside the doors of every electronics store in the world. (think back to the night when the XBox 360 was about to be released, except add in the New Year's Eve celebration and bottles of champagne being opened outside your local Best Buy) Complete and total media explosion...

I'm all for BrotherofNOD's idea. Doing to the game store at like 1:30 pm and sitting out there all day for Halo 3 until the countdown for New Years. That would be GREAT and I am for that all the way. Now I'd have a reason to celebrate the new Years. Nice one.

Thanks for agreeing. Oh, and to Greg the Great: I totally agree with what your link said. I don't want Bungie to be rushed and end up giving us a crappy game either (like what happened for Halo 2.) However, I don't think that's going to be a problem this time. Bungie has been working on Halo 3 since Halo 2 was released, and they would still have 4 months to finish it in order to meet my imagined deadline. Also, thanks to Bungie/Microsoft's huge success with the Halo series, they now have a much larger staff to help work on Halo 3 than they did for Halo 2 (read all the recent news posts at the main page, you'll see that Bungie's been hiring lots more people recently...), so they won't have as much difficulty getting the game done on time this time. This theory of mine could actually be very possible/plausible. Let's all hope it actually happens, if it does turn out this way, this would be the best holiday season ever!

YES PLEASE BUNGIE I AM PULLING MY HAIR OUT PLEASE TELL ME

They're not gonna give anyone a release date until post-production, because if they do, they will have to rush to meet a deadline that was set by some PR guy.
