Halo 2 supposedly just got pushed back to Holiday Season '04 Here is a copy right from the Bungie Website:
Q When is Halo 2 coming out?
A Bungie has always stood by our policy of not giving out release dates for any of our titles. To put it simply, Halo 2 will be done when it's done. We're all as eager as you to get our hands on this amazing game but perfection takes time.
For now, Matt has already confirmed that the Summer 2003 dates being shown on various retail websites are definitely not accurate. When we do have a solid release date, we will post it here on Bungie.net. Until then, any Halo 2 release dates you hear should be considered extremely unreliable.
....Right now, GT4 is still scheduled for June 30th this year.
Also, as of right now, the Game will use the hard drive to let you download new cars, as they become available. No word on if new tracks and stuff will be released....so far, they have only announced that it would be for cars.
Anyway, Socom II and Syphon Filter Omega Strain will also use the hard drive as well, for similiar downloadable content capabilities.
And thats the bottom line because whats his name said what?
