how can a game that never had a release date be delayed?!
this is just like fuggin Halo 2 shit that went on a year b4 its release!!!
we dont even know the ps3 release date...SONY doesnt event know it!
when an official date is given for halo 2, and bungie confirms it along with MS, then and only then will it be written in stone, and Im sure Peter will get another tattoo, lol
this will be halo 2 all over again. EB will post a assumed release date, and people all over the world will thinks its real, and back and forth and back and forth
eff halo 3, Marcus for president!!!

Seriously....
I don't know if that article holds any weight, but I'd rather give Bungie more time instead of rushing them. A 2006 release of Halo 3 sounded way too soon to me back when Billy Gates brought it up.
A 2007 release around the time of the film means that Bungie gets an extra year to work with the game. And that to me is a plus!
And on top of that, it would kill any chance of Halo 4 coming out for the Xbox 360. That would make my one Halo per console generation wish come true

I wouldnt worry about halo 3, in terms of timeframe because it has been said that the halo team has been doubled to meet the release date and halo 3 is what halo 2 should have been. Halo 2 wasnt "finished" when it was released, Halo 3 will be the complete sequel so it would make sense if they were using the same engine just to keep the feel of the game intact ( a very importnat part of the halo formula).

I remember reading that Halo 3 will use the original Halo 2 graphics engine. You know the one in the first trailer with chief jumping out of the spaceship (without the pickle-bomb)? I heard they didn't use it for Halo 2 because only the devkits could handle it (more ram) and it ran too choppy on a stock Xbox (fromt the Halo 2 DVD I believe). I don't know if that is a reliable source but I wouldn't be too disapointed.

Halo 2 original graphics engine? You mean the CGI video...
Halo2 was never to look that good. They didn't not use it because Xbox couldn't handle it, but because that was a trailer video adn had nothing to do with the actual game. Nothing more, nothing less.

my gripes with halo 2 may be different then some of you: no closure, playing as that stupid arbitor, and most of all NO ONLINE/LAN CO-OP. other then that i loved the game and to me it did have the same feel as part one just more refined. you can tell that they tried to balance things out better then part one and i give them credit for that. give me co-op on live/lan and get rid of the arbitor is all it will take to please me.
and if it wasnt for me being at work right now i would ask for a link that says halo1 and halo2 dont use the same engine. i could have sworn that it was at the core the same engine they just rewrote a lot of it specifically for the xbox (the first wasnt optimized as much for the xbox as it was ported so quickly). and i would be dissapointed if they used the same engine for part 3 unless they were also planning on releasing a part 4 and really using a new engine. i see no reason why they couldnt use the U3E and just use similar animations, concept arts and the like but with a newer actual next gen engine.
and as for the first halo2 trailor/demo: its true that it was never meant to be halo2 the game but instead basically a tech demo of sorts to who what new effects have been added for part 2. i dont think that the lack of ram was the main reason for the big change from the demo. instead it was the fact that a controlled and very specific scene is easier to put rendering power into rather then an actual game that is spread over levels bigger then a ships cargo area. that isnt saying that those effects that they demoed arent in the actual game but they probably watered down.
im not so much scorned like some about halo and i like the story mode much better then the online mode (deathmatch gets old soon, co-op all the way for me) i just hope they fix these minor problems for part 3

go to Gametypes for Halo 2
They have custom gametypes... who knows you might find something... my favorite is Zombies, Tower of Power, HIDE AND SEEK, Zombie Safehouse, and ZombiePRO.... Oh god I love me some zombies.... Too bad I can barely find any on XBC... well they are there... but not too much...

me and deftech used to have a blast (no pun intended) playing co-op Duken Nukem 3D on the net link almost 10 years ago!! that is why it doesnt make sense there is no co-op in halo2, especially when you consider doom 3 had co-op and in my opinion that game pushed the xbox harder then halo2 did.

a leap in graphics has nothing to do with a storyline, and thats where Halo 2 lost fans.
thats what killed it for me. I wasnt expecting shit out of it other than a semi decent story.
I never cared about the online. I wanted an engrossing plot.
I get more enjoyment out of watching my dog take a shit and inspecting it for hostile microbes.

People that dislike Halo 2 compared to one don't do it because they dont have their "almighty pistol," it's a culmination of things that most lead to the same point - less skill needed.
