Halo 2 is a friggin American game. You Europeans are gonna get a real surprise if you think you're getting it 7 hours before us. First, they will flood the American market then go on to Europe, then Japan. I estimate you will have to wait 2 weeks, minimum, before you can play the almighty Halo 2. The November 9, 2004 release date is strictly the U.S. release date. Sorry, that's just the way it goes.

Actually Lathen your wrong. Read the FAQ put up by Frankie about Halo 2..it clearly says that the release date for both America AND Europe is November 9th.

Actually, it will be released at the same general time all over the planet. November 9th here in America may be November 10th in the UK & Europe. It wouldn't make since for an American made game to be released in Europe or Russia or Asia before it comes out in the US.

Like i said, read the FAQ it clearly says Europe and US have November 9th release dates, other markets are TBA. You also gotta remember just cause the game was designed in US doesnt mean the games were copied, packaged and warehoused here. They could have thousands of copies all over the world by Nov 9th if they wanted to.

that is exactly what i mean. But then again, who gives a crap if the Europeans and the British get it first. I can wait, i mean, i aint that greedy and impatient. I'm still sticking to it coming out at the same general time. And I'm not spending the money to fly over to the UK to buy a $50 game. I think people that are that impatient aren't true fans. Sure i cant wait for it either and i really want it but if, for example, it didnt come out until December 20th i wouldn't care.

Name a store that normally stays open to midnight..geez. You probably CAN name one, but i sure don't know of any. And by saying i will be beating on the doors at 11:55 means i will be first one in line when they let me in at 12:P

Someone said earlier to prove them wrong if someone else thinks that the US isnt the best country in the world? Well, lets see Canada has universal education and healthcare, so people arent dropping dead from gun shot wounds to the head (guns are legal in the US). We dont have to be afraid of gettin sniped out our cars when we go out somewhere. You say that america is better because their dollar is worth more, and that they "own the rest of the world"? The US lost -blam!-loads of money in the whole iraq thing (i wont even get into how retarded and blown-out-of-proportion that was) and the worth of the american dollar is droppin like a stone compared to the canadian dollar. The US government had to start just printing more money because they were so far in debt. The canadians have a better governmental system. (shawarzenegger wouldnt be able to run for office anywhere), and........... (this is just a matter of opinion, for everyone says theyre country is better, and this arguement could go on forever), but canada has the best halo players.

If it wasnt for us, you stupid americans wouldnt have Halo 2 cause youd have no one to animate it.

Yeah Canada is sooo great..they give any -blam!- (and/or terrorist) who shows up on their shores a citizenship which lets them drive straight into America. Let somebody attack your country the way they attacked ours and lets see whose economy struggles more. Idiot. Maybe we should close all our ports and borders and stop all imports/exports from coming in or out and lets see how well ANY of our countries do. The world needs our workforce and they know it. Thats so ignorant to say that America thinks they "own" the world. The only thing good to ever come out of Canada was hockey players, Pamela Anderson, and The Kids in the Hall. Bush screwed up and he knows it..the people know it too. I don't hear Americans crying for more blood. Do you? You Canadians are lucky to be our neighbors..just remember that before you open your big mouth again you ignorant bastard. And name one Halo player thats won a National or even International Halo tournament. NONE. Cause anyone with ANY knowledge of the tourney scene knows that America has the most talent in the WORLD hands down.

My local EB is opening at midnight, so I'm gonna go get it and play all day on the 9th. I'm not gonna play online or visit any message boards until I've beat the campaign. I'd advise you to avoid online contact too, as someone will undoubtedly ruin the story for you. Be warned.

The whole story is just one big dream that the Master Chief had. He's nine years old too. I was told by Bungie. I just ruined the ending.

*DISCLAIMER* I don't know anyone from Bungie, I never spoke to them, I am joking.

lol, no kidding....

I dunno when Australia gets it, but i am hoping november 9th too, and in australia, the stores also open at midnight for good games, (actually, for FFX, they stayed open all night, releasing the game at 12:00am) So in australia were roughly 18 hous in front of US people in Boston (i know cus of LIVE with my American buddies) but i can bet we wont get it the 9th... we'el get it like the 10th or something, if bungie does a worldwide simultaneous release...

No I know. Quite a few people do actually. I just pre-order it and wait for the thing to arrive, then play it. Saves the journey and tent purchase, hehehe.
