Mock Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Is this game ever going to come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepnut24 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Most likely in time for the holiday shopping season. Originally it was this summer. So sometime between now and the end of the year if I had to guess. No real "official" date though. I could wait though if they want to polish it more. Id rather see another AAA title than anything rushed to make the holiday season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Halo 2 has been officially announced (for the first time) for release for Xmas 2004. Bungie gurantee it. There was no official announcement from Bungie before - all the other dates were just retailers and publications making wild guesses. We already know the game is essentially made, they are just refining it and fine tuning it and play testing it to make sure it lives up to the biggest hype any game has ever seen. So it will be on time - its just later than most expected. I think the release date is later for Xmas sales and to make sure they have more than enough time to refine everything. Remember Halo was a rush job!!! Halo 2 is promised to be the best game Bungie can make because the've had the time. It should be bloody amazing then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 The earliest I've ever heard is May, though a lot of my friends insist they had a 2003 release at sometime or other. But I wouldn't be surprised to see it pushed back, probably as far as christmas season myself. But hey, as long as they actually do take their time, and don't rush it like so many other's do with their games to meat deadlines, and it still kicks arse, I don't care.

Artlover Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 All I know is for over a year now, the release date keeps getting pushed back. I wouldn't be a bit suprized if it turns out that Halo 2 is never released for the 1st gen Xbox's, and is instead released with the Xbox 2. Any takers on that bet?

Trust me on this. Have some patience...play through Halo 1 again or tackle another new game in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERY TIME I beat that damn Library level, it DOESN'T SAVE. Does not save. DOESN'T FUCKING SAVE due to a bug. And I lose all progress. So I gave up. That level is hard and long.. heh heh.. Long.. Hard.. uh.. that level is difficult enough I don't want to go through ANOTHER level after it in hopes that that one will save instead. Any help here? Why the fuck won't it save? It saved after every level before that. But not on this one. That damn floating robot in that big level. Library or Archive or something.

The library in particular has plenty of checkpoints...are you sure you've completed the level? It has 10 levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time you finish the library level, try saving the game yourself at the start of the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldunko Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Microsoft is trying it's dandiest to build a customer base. Halo 2 will be good, and will result in more loyal Xbox fans, who in turn will buy the next Xbox down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me on this. Have some patience...play through Halo 1 again or tackle another new game in the meantime. Because Microsoft said so? Wouldn't be the first time MS missed an release date (several OS's come to mind). In hours of searching, all I could find are a couple of 3rd party blurbs about MS "officialy" announcing a release date of Fall 2004. Only problem is I can't find anything on microsoft.com, bungie.net or xbox.com. Actually, I did find 2 things on xbox.com, and that wasn't much, a "Street date: Fall 2004" on the game-info pages and a copy of the original 2002 "official" announcement that the game was being developed and would be released end of 2003. All I can say is, I'll believe it when I see it. The "official" announcement means absolutly nothing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Halo 2 was NEVER pushed back. It has always been, "it will be done when it is done". The only people who came up with earlier release dates were retail sites, not MGS or Bungie. Bungie finally came up with a release time frame a few months ago. Autumn of 2004.
