I've just read the new FAQ, and the Nov 9th release date is US only! I'm from the UK, so we probably won't get it much later than US, but what about other countries around the world like Australia, who probably won't see it until 2005. If Bungie have a legit reason for not releasing it at the same time, lets hear it. Any and all support is welcome. We need a worldwide simultaneous release!

The new FAQ disagrees.

They should make it a worldwide release because then everyone gets a copy at the same time. But then again, I'd rather wait a little longer than have a crappy, rushed PAL version...

Can it be a vote?

ash is awesome.

If Bungie isn't doing a worldwide release, there clearly must be a reason. If it involves the development process, no, Bungie isn't likely to make some post just to explain to you why you might have to wait a few days, or a few weeks, or even a month. I'm pretty tired of the people that are acting like Bungie has declared that they're releasing the game in America, then sitting on it until they feel like giving it to other countries. If the last update wasn't an indicator, it's still clear that this is not the case.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it can be a vote. It just says no petitions in the rules and people around here will jump on you.

I'm not saying its bungie's fault. Its probably Microsofts. And I'm thinking not of me, in the UK, I can wait a few days for Halo 2. I have a cousin who lives in asia. He had to wait a year for Halo and most other games. Its not fair to make those people wait that amount of time for the biggest game of all time.

FAQ
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.


It could also mean it will be released just a few days later.

Actually if you guys got it on the 9th, you'd get it more than 8 hours ahead of us. So technically that's unfair too... well according to you guys. As well as the East Coasters who will get it 3 hours ahead of us West Coasters...

You'll get it when you get it, just like I have to wait for my copy, you can wait for yours.

"ash is awesome" - quote from Shishka

:D i'm glad someone understands what im trying to say and shiska's right, this should stop being discussed! Just quit complaining and trust that bungie will not fail you.

Bungie WONT just release it for the americans, have a month off and then think about releasing it on PAL. if you read the weekly update an employee is working on how the PAL version works online with the NTSC version(is that right?) which is a big indication that they are doing everything in their power to get the PALs churned out along side the NTSC's.

Dont worry I trust that it will be released only shortly after or if its delayed awhile bungie have a good reason and dont wont to disappoint us europeans with a PAL rushed version!

at the moment everyone has to wait for the game and by the time it is getting close to it being released i am sure they will have decided on it being a world wide release , they just want to make sure they can get it all shipped and stuff... 6 MONTHS away
