As you all know, if you go to Halo2.com, there's a countdown to November 9th, 2004--the day Halo 2 will be released. But when I do the math, the exact time comes to 1:20 p.m. I'm in Central timezone, so I don't know if that's different for any of you who are living elsewhere.

The thing is, what's so special about that time in the day? Why not have it coutdown to 12:00 a.m., or 12:01, whenever the day officially starts. At that minute, will Bungie do something special? Or was the time just picked by chance?

Just my thoughts,
Poocho :)

P.S. I haven't seen this before, so sorry if it's been discussed.

Anarchy, Nukes will rain from the sky causing riots and lots of looting. The FedEX delivery trucks will be tipped over spilling copies of Halo2 for all.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA(whew!)

Why couldnt bungie just release it on Xbox's/HALO's anniversary? November 15? Maybe that would have been suitable, rather than just a good ol' boring blah tuesday.

My birthday's on November 8th! Maybe I can get GameStop to give me the game early. :)

Why not on the 15th? Because that's a week later than the 9th! Who wants to wait an extra week just because that date's special. I'll tell you what, you can wait to buy the game on the 15th, so that it'll stay special for you. The rest of us will have beaten it a few times on legendary, and 20 eggs will have been found.

Just my thoughts,

If you did your math right and every thing than 1:20 your time is 4:20 my time so all that says is someone is a big pot head... Who ever wrote the script for the timer to end put it on pot head time...

someone did theirs for 9:20 was it, or something, i dont get that either, because i remember (I live in Australia) that when i think it was FFX came out, the store stayed open / opened up at midnight to release the game, by then americans already had it though....(What i'm trying to say is, games with big hype release as early as possible without breaking the release date

Sometimes when something big is released, be it a movie or whatever, stores change for that occasion and have different hours. I think that this just may be one of those occasions, I know my localEB was open at midnight when xbox came out, and I think they'll do the same with Halo 2. And if they do, I'll be there to buy it. Unfortunately that means I won't sleep, which means I'll have no choice but to stay home and sleep...er..play more Halo 2.

I think its been said before but if the stores released it at Midnight in America and when stores open in the morning in Europe then that'll be the closest they could get to a Worldwide release. Sorry I cant remember how the time works for places like Australia but assume it could release later that day(?!).. hmm maybe not as I cant see the stores or deliveries being able to hold back the crowds long enough!!
