when wil halo 3 and halo wars come out?

Answer 1

There is currently no official OR unofficial release date for either game. Any date being given to you is a complete guess.

Check the FAQ's on the official sites for both games:
http://www.halowars.com
http://www.bungie.net

A lot of people are suggesting that November is the release date for Halo 3 because they're confused with the original release date of the movie (which has now been pushed back to 2008).

Bungie is ULTRA careful with release dates, but the movie date wasn't under their control.

Halowars and Halo 3 are both Xbox 360 exclusives. Halo 3 is definately launching in 2007, according to a recent weekly Bungie update.
If Ensemble Studios launches AFTER Halo 3, no one will even notice because the Halo fans will be concentrating on Halo 3 instead, but according to EGM, that's what they're doing.
.
If they launch DURING the Halo 3 launch, folks that are forking out $100 for the legendary edition (the one with the helmet) are unlikely to want to spend an extra $69 (or whatever) for Halowars, and THOSE fans are the target market for the game.. the hardcore Halo fans. Microsoft isn't dumb enough to put two titles out in direct competition with each other.. especially when one of them are the largest grossing game in the history of video games.

If they launch BEFORE Halo 3, then the folks that are going crazy for Halo stuff will get it, to hold them over til Halo 3 is released.

We should be hearing release announcements for both of them soon.. probably this month.. take a look at 1up.com's "3 weeks of Halo" (linked at the top of that page). Check out the calendar of events, and note that there's a big announcement coming soon.. there's no confirmation of whether that will be a Halo 3 release date announcement or not, but I suspect it'll be a Halowars release announcement, because I kinda think it'll be out first.

In fact.. if you notice how it kinda' came out of nowhere... I wonder if it was set-up to at least put pressure on the PS3.. I dunno how succesfull that'll be, but look at the timing of everything.. Halo 3 will be near the top of it's hype cycle right as the PS3 comes out, but Halowars is probably gonna' fill that gap and offer maybe like a trailer for Halo 3 or something...

It's like a chessgame..

Anyways.. good luck in your quest for Halo knowledge

*UPDATE* - 3 halo announcements on the 14th:
#1- 2 new Halo 2 mulitplayer maps for the 360 early next year.
#2- Halo 3 multiplayer BETA Demo for the 360 early next year.
#3- Halo 3 commercial for the superbowl.

Answer 2

Halo has a tradition of coming out in November so both Halo 3 and Halo Wars will most likely come out November of 2007 and NOT the same day as the PS3 launch like some people think. Bill Gates instigated that date but he really doesn't have anything to do with the game. If you pre-order on GameStop, you can even get a replica Master Chief helmet. It can't be worn though. :-(

Answer 3

Halo 3 comes out next year and so dose Halo wars.

Answer 4

Halo 3 is scheduled for November 1st, 2007. And there already starting to pre-order them through Gamestop/EB Games. And supposedlyyyy Halo Wars will launch that same exact day.

But things change, Halo 3 was suppost to launch early '07 and it got pushed back.
