Woohoo!! Day by day, minute by minute, the inevitable release of HALO 2 is fast approaching! On November 9, 2004, at exactly 12:00am, gamers faces across the good ol’ US of A will light up with joy! After the painful wait of nearly three years, for possibly the best XBox game ever, it'll be in our hands! I don't know about you guys, but yes, I am definitely excited! Which is why I have decided to create this update thread! Within the confines of this topic, I will update the current wait time for the arrival of HALO 2, any new information, and possibly post some new screens, if I am so inclined! I hope that most of you enjoy it, regardless of whether or not you like HALO! Thanks for reading, and remember: "The wait may be painful at times, but the prize that you receive for waiting, is far greater than the pain in which you endured..."   SAM2 PS2  |

Update #5, Official Clock: 20 days, 7 hours, 32 minuets, 43 seconds... Woohoo! The release of HALO 2 is now within 20 days -- or, for those non-mathmatical types -- 2 weeks, 6 days. When HALO 2 was announced, everyone knew that it would be a big title, not only for the XBox, but for the videogame industry as a whole. Now, as the game approaches, people are starting to discuss just how astoundingly huge this game will truly be. Here is an article taken from GamePro.com. Enjoy... "The release of Halo 2 is just weeks away, and the Xbox exclusive first-person shooter has passed the 1.5 million mark in pre-orders for the United States--and is poised to generate more revenue in 24 hours than the day one sales of any full feature movie in entertainment history.
The first copy of Halo 2 will be distributed in a Midnight Madness at the Toys "R" Us in Times Square, New York on November 9, 12am. In addition, more than 6,500 U.S. retailers including Gamestop, EB Games, Best Buy, Gamecrazy, Game Rush, Circuit City, Kmart Super Center stores and FYE will open their doors at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9.
"'Halo 2' is expected to be the biggest 24 hours for a video game title in retail history and is projected to bring in more revenue than any day one box office blockbuster movie in the United States," said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of worldwide publishing and marketing for Xbox. "We call it the Halo 2 effect. We’ve even heard rumors of fan anticipation of the 'Halo 2 flu' on November 9."
The original "Halo" sold more than 5 million copies worldwide--and the next installment seems destined to surpass the first."
