Gamestop has just announced that Halo 3 will be released on November 1st, 2007 (11/01/2007)
No... It says right on the page that it has not been announced.
Official pricing and release dates have not been announced by Microsoft. Price and release date listed are estimates only and subject to change.
:shock: :cry:

Guys you know what, I wouldn't put your hopes into these release dates. Because best buy thought it was comming out this november, Hastings said it is gonna come out in march. No one really knows other than Bungie, so until Bungie releases the date, I don't think the actual date will be known.

Exactly. Why would Bungie/Microsoft release dates to only one place? If I don't here it straight from them, I don't believe it.

Topic creator and everyone else:

You realize this exact same thing happened with Halo 2, right? Almost every sales website posted a random date that had no official backing to it. Then the date got changed a few times because bungie wasn't going to release it then, and the sales sites picked another random date, then people whined about the bungie pushing the date back, when in reality, there was never an official release date to begin with.

So, unless it comes from the developers themselves, it's just speculation and not official.

You should still be going by what bungie has said in the trailer, unless they posted a more accurate date in their updates (in which case, you should link there to tell people what the release date is, not some 3rd party sales website). 2007.

well maybe we will learn the official release date Monday, December 4 - The Official HALO 3 Trailer is going to be shown on TV. :shock:


Also, my dad is reading "The Ghosts of Onyx" - and the planet that you see on the trailer for halo 3 is not Earth. That is Onyx. Onyx is where they are training the new SPARTAN 3's. The S3's have no shield. The suits are made for kids. Although they have no shield, they are always cloaked (Like the arbitor in H2SP). They also run faster and jump higher. So my dad says that in HALO 3 , he thinks in MP you can choose to play as the S3 or the S2 and heres why.... Say it takes the S2 4 shots to die, and it takes the S3 2 shots to die, well, the S2 is slow and always visible , however, the S3 is always cloaked, runs faster, jumps higher - balance , eh? Also, he says he doesnt know, but he doesnt think that the big think on onyx isn't the ark. He says it may be but probably not. Also, some S3's disappeared in training and the trainers (Linda, Dr.Housey) couldnt find them. However, they found them later on (20 yrs later) and they had been with some scientists underground searching through and mapping the Forerunner tunnels FOR 20 YEARS and still had only mapped a small % of it.

And this is pretty neat, the Forerunners are Forerunner Humans because, some Sentinals These arent your normal sentinals, they have 3 legs and shoot a beam stronger/hotter than a plasma beam came out of the thing that is on the H3 Annoucement Trailer and started attacking the S3's. Although the S3's were invisible, the sentinals could still track them. But linda and Dr.Housey were standing there training the S3's and the Sentinals didnt even look at them. They just attack anything that doesnt look like its human. Thats why the sentinals attack you in h2SP - because you dont look human!


Anywayz, I hoped that entertained you a little until my dad reads some more :!: 8)

That's exactly what I keep telling my friends, one thinks its comming out this month because of best buy, another thinks its comming out in march because of hastings, and another thinks its comming out next year because of gamestop. All those different dates have to tell you something about its legitamacy :roll:

That wasn't pertinent to the conversation at all.

It's not a trailer either. It's just a commercial advertising Halo 3. That's it.

It's actually supposed to give clues as to who and whats going to go on throughout Halo 3... so it should give us some insight as to whats gonna happen.

Well, that was rude :?

Anyways, exactly like JK-47 said, in other words , a trailer. But, also its going to give hints and clues about Halo 3 :wink: thx excal!

But, did anyone else find what I said about interesting?

It's just an estimate from Gamestop, nothing more. This is not an announced release date, misleading title. :|
