Like I said, I feel sorry for the USA's neighbors, but Bungie can't make all of the international versions and promise to release them all at once. After all, they're all human. Did you read those articles about the exhausting voice-recording sessions? Think about that and all that work. Now, multiply it by any 2-digit number. Uh-huh, I thought so.

but the Japs get it first. This is HALO 2!!


"Japs" is a derogatory term, please dont be ignorant


My apologies, I just intended to write quickly, not to cause any kind of offence. I deeply regret it, if I have hurt anyone's feelings.

This IS what happens, although not as you said it. The other versions are developed alongside the main versions, to reduce the time between releases.
But I would be happy to wait - I know my country isn't the be all and end all.


again let's think logically, if something is finished then release it...if it's not then don't.
So if the American version is finished for Nov. 9 then release it and if the UK version is finished for Nov.29 then release it and the Japanese version doesn't get completed until February 9 then release it then...their is no need to wait...None. If the game was developed in the UK I would understand, or if it was developed in Japan I would understand but it's being develope right here in the US so get over it please.

Ok, a slightly off-topic question. How would you have felyt if Lord of the Rings had been released in England one month before you could see it in America or anywhere else. Halo 2 is LOTR of computer games.

Well, life is not fair, it's good to be an American, heh.

God, I feel my blood pressure rising.
I bet you wouldn't understand really. You'd be pissed off if the biggest Xbox game ever was being developed in the UK and wouldn't be out in the US until weeks after. Maybe I should suggest to Peter Molyneux that he hold back Fable for a couple of months?
Fact is, Microsoft would be silly not to publish in the UK at the same time as the US, for two reaons: 1) There are a huge number of fans in the UK. Japan can be ignored, because FPSes aren't very popular there. 2) There isn't much translation to do, only a brilliant PAL conversion.

So, call a store in the U.S, have them deliver it to the post office, then have it sent to wherever you live.

If it possible for you guys to get it on Nov. 9th I'm pretty sure Bungie will make it happen.

I agree it is as easy as that, we always have to import games that dont even come out to the U.S. If you want Halo so bad import it.Thats what I would do. Besides wont europe get conker early?

Don't you people know anyone in America? Send them the money and have them get it for you.I'm glad I live in America!!!!!!!!!

  • 05.21.2004 4:00 PM PDT

Don't you people know anyone in America?
Does anyone read? I'll say it in bold for you:

Imports don't work on unmodded Xboxes

We had to wait for Zelda, the MGS series, Gran Tourismo, Final Fantasy, and the list goes on and on....those are some of the biggest games right there and we here in America had to wait our turn...so what are you guys talking about.
They're hardly Halo 2 though. And the Japanese have always taken forever to translate their games.

goweb is right, I lived in Europe for years and had to get used to getting titles months after the U.S. got them, although I live back in America now. Believe me everyone, if Bungie announced it was going to be released in Europe et. al. on Nov 9th, and the release date for the U.S. was "TBD" you'd have countless fans screaming and crying at the top of their lungs. We Americans should quit our -blam!-ing about the release date, we're lucky to have one. So let's all lend a sympathetic ear to the non-U.S. fans and hope the release date is the same or at least shortly thereafter.

Why is it just that Bungie are a American company, should Americans get their hands on it before anyone else? This happens far too often in the Video Game industry.
Ya it does happen but not just for us Americans! The Japanese (spelling) do it too! it pisses me off when a awsome game comes out and people from different Countries do not get the game until half a year later!

If Bungie does this that would be horrible!!! Espesscially (spelling) with this being H2 the most anticipated game of all time!!!
Im sorry for all the people in Europe and other countries as well.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Hey, don't make us Americans suffer just because you want it at the same time. Yea, it sucks for you and I can sypmithyse, but please dont say they should delay it in America untill its ready for the UK. (The quote above dosn't say it, im only using that as an example) I think that it should not come out MONTHS later but 2 or 3 weeks would not kill you. also what does PPT or whatever that acronym stand for? POI or something.


Also I never knew "Japs" was derogotory. I always thought it was just a shorter name for Japaneese. thanks for the insight though. I for one used it a lot. I guess I should stop lol.

An official reponse will come from the Bungie higherups, just as did the U.S release date.
It's good to live here.
