Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by Maniac on 07-26-2004 at 11:24 PM

Alright.... not sue if any of you heard but there's a big rumor about Halo 2 comming out earlier then November 9th.... It would take too long for me to explain and i;m still looking into it so i'll just link you to these two posts and website:

www.ilovebees.com (View it using IE, with FF it messes up)

http://forums.ningc.com/showpost.php?p=208317&postcount=1

http://forums.ningc.com/showpost.php?p=208360&postcount=4

I'm checking out the website right now and i'm thinking.... if "ilovebees.com" really did appear at the bottom of a trailer then yes this is definatly related to Halo2, and then there is a list in the blog with dates and the last is August 24, 2004 but the person doesn't say what happens that day.... what do you guys think?

* Joe Thinks that'd be great, but it wouldn't be fun cuz it wouldn't be much of a surprise, but it's still Halo 2:D


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by .blade// on 07-27-2004 at 03:01 AM

This is not going to happen as the content deadline is this comming friday. To finish the content, burn the final beta, distribute it, ix the bugs, and then distribute the final game to stores would NOT be possible by the end of August. Besides, companies RARELY release games BEFORE the release date.


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by Maniac on 07-27-2004 at 03:39 AM

Did you read all the stuff though? Why would the trailer have "www.ilovebees.com" and what a COINCIDENCE is it that the site has a countdown for SOMETHING coming on the 24th.... just think about it.... they won't stick url's just for the fun of it at the bottom of their trailers...


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by Joe on 07-27-2004 at 07:18 AM

A lot of speculation about this on the web now that i look at it

That would be nice except the coutdown in my sig would therefore be wrong.

Dam kryptic m$ nerds!


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by user27089 on 07-27-2004 at 10:53 AM

I don't think that they would do this, as it would put even more pressure on the game designers, and as it was said at E3 by the officials, and tattood on the mans arm, then i doubt that this would happen.


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by .blade// on 07-27-2004 at 05:37 PM

Let me re-instate THIS WON'T HAPPEN, notice that's a forum, and someone ON the forum posted that. That is BS as the second beta of the game is NOT out yet :dodgy:

Put your hopes to rest (of course, I would love it to come out Aug. 24th, but it won't) so buckle down and wait for...

NOVEMBER 9th, 2004!


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by Maniac on 07-27-2004 at 10:29 PM

what do you mean someone ON a forum posted that.... that comes from the ningc forums, a forum i go to..... YOU posted "november 9th" ON A FORUM.... does that mean it's wrong... NO!!

The posts I linked you to are a forum for video games the site itself has NOTHING to do with ilovebees.... just as these boards are.... its just a thread.....


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by sasquatch on 07-29-2004 at 02:19 AM

yea, agreed with Ningc, it looks pretty credible, but we'll just hafta wait and see


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by Pyroteq on 07-29-2004 at 09:18 AM

Wait..Wait is boring.. Its probly not the game but a playable demo thats coming out


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by The Napster on 07-29-2004 at 09:41 AM

I wish it would come out earlier, but it probably aint hapening :'(

That would be good enough though... no?

Right now i'm thinking it is a demo disk by the official xbox mag...
RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by Vazza on 07-29-2004 at 09:50 PM

I'd go with it being a demo. I know that the first official playing of it in BritainUK will take place 1-5 september in the Excel, London at The Gamestars Live exhibition. Also, Game have it on arrival here November 11th.

:o i'm shocked, halo 2 is one of the most anticipated shoot 'em up of the year, halo: combat evolved was a work of art! So number 2, i can't express what it will be like!

According to the latest xbox magazine, the game is coming out on November 11th, not sure whether its just a misprint or what, I'll scan it in and edit this post :S

It's coming out November 9th, 2004 in North America and Mexico, November 11th, 2004 in Europe and Asia, and later this year in other countries.

:dodgy: IF there will be a PC version, it won't be out for, oh, abot 2 years.
RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by The One on 10-06-2004 at 04:36 PM

The chances are, there will be a PC version, but only once everyone who could possibly want Halo 2 has bought an Xbox and given Microsoft more money... then they can just make more by making it for PC...


RE: Halo2 Tuesday, August 24, 2004? by user27089 on 10-06-2004 at 06:00 PM

There will be a pc version, but my mate (a lier) has boasted that he has a demo on the pc and its coming out in february... :dodgy: oh look, here comes the rumours now.

I doubt that the pc version will be out for a while, merely because that they're getting into making games for the xbox rather than the pc :) and if they were going to make it available for pc, they would have to spend a load more time on it, more time, more money ;), so that would be stupid.. lol, i really don't think that the game will be a hit on pc's :) Don't know why, just a lot of people seem to enjoy halo more on xbox ;)

Halo PC came out 2 years after Halo XBOX, so expect the same for Halo 2...:dodgy:
M$ focuses on the Xbox version because if ppl buy an xbox the will get other games for it aswell, increasing M$'s profit through licenses and such, wheras with PC, there is no license needed to release a game.

Yeah, i suppose that could be the case, but its pretty stupid if you ask me.. if they've bought it out on the worlds most popular console, whats the point in wasting the space to install it on your pc. I say, let microsoft increase their profits, its in pretty much every home anyway... windows

:banana:

Not stupid, they wont do it if they will loose money with it...

If you mean the XBox, then be sure that it is in not many houses. It is far from as widespread as PC's, I even doubt if it comes close. (And with PC's I mean high standard-PC's which can run the games of today)

But anyways, this is off topic babble while waiting for Halo2 :P

He's a n00b who quite obviously just posted this to TRY to get some attention. Do you know how closely sealed Microsoft and Bungie's lips have been sealed about little details within the game? They would not just suddenly give a random n00b a copy of an Xbox game that is worth a net gain of millions of dollers which somehow miraculously works on the PC.

I mean that windows is pretty much in every home :dodgy: its an easy misconception though, so its not your mistake.

Thats a little harsh, but its true, its ashame that people think that they're all good because they lie, its quite funny, I have a mate that lies about everything, and we know he's lying, so we just laugh at him.

Halo 2 wouldn't be on a pc disc for a while anyway I doubt, don't the producers use emulators on their pc's

anyways afteer what you said i highly doubt he has it but lets see....

maybe he will post some screenshots
