In Response To: Bummer. (Louis Wu) : http://halo.bungie.org/oldnews.html?item=6171 : Time to change the FAQ box... I'm sorry to hear that Halo 2 is not coming out this year. Hopefully there will be some nice demos for us to play though. I'm sorry for a few reasons which I want to expand upon a bit. First, based on Microsoft history, projects that have been delayed often have had a shake up of sorts. I don't want to name names but the example I can think of is with the release of Windows 2000. The release was delayed from many reasons, but the responsibility fell upon a few who had a problem with saying NO. What I mean by "NO" is saying NO to new features. At some point, new features must be discarded in relation to the need to meet release dates. So in the case of Windows 2000, some people resigned and shortly after that, the new management ripped out many of the new features that were delaying the schedule. We as Bungie fans should keep this in mind and be vocal in our support of Bungie and whatever release schedule they decide is necessary for Halo 2. So I will say that I am happy to wait until 2004 for Halo 2 if that is what Bungie wants. Second, Sony Playstation 3 has been announced for Christmas 2003 (I heard this on the news, but haven't confirmed it myself). This has nothing to do with Halo 2, but XBOX vendors makes money on the games, not so much the consoles -- many of the newest and best games are becoming available on XBOX, Playstation 2, and Gamecube. I own all three, so I don't care but if I only could buy one of the consoles, my decision would be greatly influenced by what games were available for the console. Halo is XBOX exclusive and not having it an option at Christmas 2003 could very well hurt XBOX sales which in the long run hurts XBOX game sales. I'm serious when I say that Bungie holds a lot of influence with Halo 2, maybe they could consider making a kickass Halo 2 demo that would ship with XBOXES sold at Christmas. No Bungie XBOX stuff at Christmas 2003 makes me sad. :(
