I've recently learned from an inside source that the reason that Bungie is taking so long to finish Halo 2 is because they are actually in the middle of a Gigantic Re-design of the Halo engine. The reason for the secrecy is that they actually don't have as much done as everyone thinks. They keep saying that nothing is for certain, because they're not even close to finished redesigning the engine and building it from scratch. They've hid this fact from us: the game's engine isn't even done yet.

Who are you going to believe Bungie, who has been loyal to us for years and was playing the game during the conference in real-time or this unknown guy who has so called "Inside Infromation" and nothing to back it up.

It's probably a rumour based off a recent Frankie update where they were talking about finalizing some core engine concepts. After which they were going to lock the engine and leave it be.

Halo 2 is done. They've just been fiddling with getting the perfect balance for quite some time.

How about you elaborate on this "inside source?" Perhaps a friend, who has an uncle who dated a girl who used to be a roommate in college with some girl who stood in a grocery line one time with a guy who worked at Bungie?

Why couldn't you make up something more interesting? Perhaps you could say Bungie had it's source code stolen from the E3 demo -sound familiar? Heck, you could even say Bungie caught fire and most of Halo2 was lost. Something original, or at least almost believeable please.

Just because they are still finishing the engine does not mean that they started redesigning it recently. Either you're lying or I think you got your facts mixed up. Halo 2 does have a new engine from Halo 1, maybe thats where you got confused?

Not that i dont think Bungie is amazing but i'll believe it.
It's perfectly normal for a company to say that they are almost done with something, it increases anticipation and makes them more money thru game reservations, etc.
Either way, Halo 2 is still coming out on November 9th and it will be ready by then,
sooooo................. reserve your copies now and make bungie the little bit of extra cash they deserve.

If the game engine wasn't done, you wouldn't have been able to play multiplayer. Thus, there goes your 'great theory' out the window. You need the engine to play, especially with the graphics they had going over a year ago at the FIRST E3 Halo 2 was shown at.

You are either very guillible, very cruel, or very stupid. There is no way Bungie would do something like that without notifying their adoring, rabid public. And what inside source, man? Come on. If Bungie says that it'll be out November 9, [color=red]it will be out November 9!!!!!!!!!![/color]

That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. They just went to e3 and set a date that's only 6 months away. Oh yeah, and they had a *playable* demo there.

Now maybe early last year or at the begining of development they completely overhauled the engine, in fact, I think it's likely they did since it's taken 3 years to come out, but there is no way "they're not even close to finished redesigning the engine and building it from scratch".

unless you have proof of this Bro, I am not buying it, I am a loyal bungie fan.

  • 05.26.2004 11:48 AM PDT

To be absolutely truthful, I could care less if they had to make the game all over again- as long as it came out on November 9th. I don't really see what the big deal here is.

I think that its already finished and Bungie are just sitting there keeping it to themselves and laughing at us for not having it. We'll just see about that "Come on Sam Fisher we have a studio to rob" "hehehehe"

Ok here’s an actual poem

PS2 fanboys think they are cool
But really what they are is one big fool
They keep saying that halo 2 will suck
But all they are doing is running a muck

They think that GTA is great
And halo all of them hate
Not because they don’t like it not because it’s bad
But because they are jealous of a game that’s so rad

They think San Andreas will whip halo 2
But all they are doing is shooting out poo
But still some of them post here
To make fright and make fear

They don’t know were smarter than them
But they will try it again and again
They think PS2 is the best
But Halo 2 will whip all the rest

Don’t u think they should learn
That they'll just get flamed and burn and burn
If they post stupid rumors here
The flames of bungie they will revere

So listen PS2 fanboys and listen well
Get rid of PS2 because there games are hell
Gamecube is better and XboX is the best
Mario And Wario and the Chief never rest

They own all systems all games too
All other systems and games are poo
The Bungie boys will own the Earth
Since they announced the date of Halo 2's birth

And don’t you know they will own you too
You poor diluted fanboys of PS2


WHAT OWNEAGE!
