Halo 2 all but complete
Halo 2 so very close...
"We are basically done making Halo 2. Seriously. Barring any unexpected shenanigans, Halo 2 is done and dusted, simultaneously, for every region it will be released in worldwide. Oh, and Parsons has been hitting the sushi again..." read an update yesterday on the Bungie.net website. Very encouraging news, then, and we can perhaps look forward to a gold announcement soon - as Microsoft look ahead to a launch on November 9th.
The tantalising update continued: "It isn't literally the last update of course, since there's lots to do and say between now and November 9th, but I can honestly say that there's no more updating on the progress of the game, since the game is done. Finished and shipped to a nebulous region known as RTC (Release To Certification) where it will be dumped from eight digital tapes onto a DVD and go through some final testing. Usually that's just a matter of routine, but we'll be watching our email carefully through next week."
Its done then, and we'll be getting it soon. Most excellent.
