Bungie to gamers: Halo 2 is gold. Time to break out the bubbly (and sushi) in Redmond.
The team has been holed in an unmarked building for months, nay years, but now, the coders, programmers, artists, and designers behind the making of Halo 2 are stepping into the light.
In a post this afternoon on the developer's official site, Bungie.net, word comes that Halo 2 is complete.
"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..."
"Parsons" refers to Peter Parsons, the former marketing exec at Microsoft who was put in charge of the Halo 2 project shortly after the Bungie team moved from its original home turf of Chicago to Redmond.
The post reads in part:
"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.
"Roger handed off the tapes in LA yesterday, and as I write this, Alta, the Bungie Princess, is picking some discs up at Seatac Airport. There are still many steps between now and the game's arrival on shelves, including the not-insignificant process of actually manufacturing MILLIONS of copies of the game."
