Yeah, we knew this already, but it's great to see it made official. Halo 2 has indeed gone gold, and will be making its way into our lives for weeks on end, starting next month. The press release is filled with some tantalizing details, and some amazing facts. Like this: "Microsoft Game Studios today announced that Halo® 2 for Xbox®, the most-anticipated video game of the year, has gone gold and will ship simultaneously over three days to 27 countries in eight languages. Halo 2 will be available on November 9 throughout North and South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The sequel to the award-winning Halo: Combat Evolved, will be available in France, Belgium and Switzerland on November 10, as well as in Japan and the rest of Europe on November 11. Halo 2 is being localized in eight languages including English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (traditional), Spanish, French, German and Italian." How's that for a AAA title launch? Say what you will about Microsoft, but they sure do know how to launch a product.
