well according to the updated halo 2 faq it says:

Q - When does Halo 2 come out?

A - It's official! Halo 2 will be released in the U.S. on November 9th, 2004. Halo 2 should be available soon after in other markets but exact dates are TBD.

And according to me it'll be worldwide, and I'm always right ;-)
Seriously, though, I have it on good authority that it'll be worldwide. And not this Amazon release date bollocks either.

I really don't see why people are making such a ruckus over this release date stuff. All you have to do is wait for, at most, two weeks after the US release. Not that hard if you ask me.

How do you know my statement isn't from Bungie ;-)

That's my little secret.
But I think from the update you can take the implication that the UK and US will get Halo 2 at the same time. Both a PAL version and NTSC version are in existence, so that's the hard bit done already. No translation will need to be done.

I think you shouldn't worry about building up your stats too much. Americans having a head start might make you seem like a noob to us for a week or two based on stats alone, but you'll catch up. Plus, I think you should let your guns do the talking, not your stats. People will know you're a good player when you start blowing them away before they even notice you're there. Skill is something people will remember and something practice, a Nov. 9th release date and stats can't garuntee.

Besides, if you're worried about other players being better becaue they get to play Halo2 first, then play plenty of Halo:CE before the game comes out. From what I gather, Halo2 feels like a natural extension and you shouldn't have much trouble picking up new weapons and getting your kills in. Patience.
