The Halo 2 stratagy guide will be coming out 5 days before the actuall game! Will this will destroy surprise in plot and images..of course you could not buy it but face it the New Mombasa forum will be filled with tones of spoilers!

I can guarantee you that the stratagy guide will not come our before the game. That would just be plain stupid if it did.

At gamestop its coming out on 10/25. I think its retarded to put it out before the game, what is the use for it if you can't play the game?

The whole point to a guide isn't for spoilers, it's for help/info about the game. The whole "ruining of the game" is a bit misleading...
And if you buy it, 5 bucks says you take a peek at something...

No, it will not ruin the plot, that is if you're are smart and stay the hell away from it. And if they do happen to release it early, I and I'm sure many others would recommend staying off the forums at the time of its release and post release until you beat the game yourself. Of course a bunch of -blam!-s will come and post spoilers, it is simply what they do, and you can't stop them, however, you can avoid them.

1. Dont read it until you have the game.
2. What Im doing is not go on the forums a week before the game comes out. And two weeks afterwards.

Do they usually release a guide before they release a game(I really don't know)?
Why would they release a guide before the game is released?

I'm not sure, but Bungie has kept the lid so tight on the story line, releasing a guide early would seem like an incredibly silly/stupid mistake of Bungie. I don't think it will happen, we will just have to wait.

It's not entirely bungie's choice because they don't make it. Some guide company does.

And yes, alot of guides are released early, but only like a day, not 5.

some are early, some are after the game has been released... im not gonna buy it anyway. final fantasy 8 came out on 9/9/99, the guide came out on 10/01/99. but maximo came out on the 1/20/04 and the guide came out 01/01/04. go figure. i dont know what this means. i think it means bees will kill me in the night.

I must say, this message board runs a lot better in my sbcyahoo browser than in mozilla.

------YOU CAN'T TAKE A GIRL TO THE LIBRARY!------

the question should be... IF the strategy guide comes out before the game are you gonna be a moron and ruin it for yourself by looking through it?

It should only be used to explain multiplayer, eggs, and chracters/weapons/levels. NOT SP!!!
