Halo 2 Coming Out November 28th? (false rumour) |
But it's a 2004 title you say! Well it was, but reports from the net suggest otherwise, as does a P.Diddy Xbox advert seen on NBC yesterday where the great big fool says, "The world will know XBox" and then, "on November 15th" appears.
The internet reports? Well the best one I've seen so far is from DGN:
"The representative placed the disc into the store's Xbox console and demonstrated some of the game's single-player components. He then told the store employees in the room that Halo 2 would be made available in stores on November 28, 2003, which is referred to in the retail industry as "Black Friday" because the day after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year. He stated that the assumed date when the game would privately "go gold" (completed) was November 7."
The article later states that the November 15th date is when a demo of the game will be released via Xbox Live, and, although the article doesn't state this, presumably through retailers too.
So, a load of rubbish, or the biggest shock of 2003? And, if it is true, how has the game been finished 3-4 months ahead of schedule. Time will tell...
Update:
Like expected ... it was too good to be true. This rumor has been confirmed to be FALSE by Bungie (Ve3d.com):
Despite all the juicy rumors floating around the net lately, I can confirm with absolute certainty that Halo 2 is NOT coming out in 2003. As we have said for quite some time now, the game will be released when it is done and that will be in 2004. It is not coming out next week. It will not be on store shelves this holiday. Why would anyone want to do a "secret release" with a property as big as Halo 2 anyways? What possible benefit is there in sneaking it onto shelves without making the consumer aware?
