I think a halo 2 demo should be made for the UK and USA official xbox mag to put on their PLAYABLE demo disk so we can all have a go before it is released!!!

I say no. First, it shouldn't be released in the UK. Secondly, then Bungie would have to make a demo disc and fix those bugs and make a manual and tweak everything and Halo 2 would be set back farther.

No, there will be no demo, it has been said by Bungie and should stay that way. If there's no plan for a demo now then adding one would push back the release date..again. I can wait another 5 months as long as it comes out in 5 months, dont gimme anything extra if it'll take longer.

i think a demo would ruin the surprise.. Bungie would really be stupid for sending one out. so many people would play the demo so much, that it MIGHT POSSIBLY (but i doubt it) be boring by the time Halo 2 came out. it'd probably really screw up with sales. plus..

it'd be like peeking at your presents before Christmas. it's just cheap.

Hell no. If it is made over here we would recieve it first, and if u dont like it we'll just kick ur ass like we did in the american revoultion.
But no i dont think there will be a demo, i think that bungie doesnt wanna ruin anything with the story or the gameplay.

Wow. This is really turning out to be a -blam!- thread. And I don't think you can compare the American Revolution to Halo 2. I think Bungie is going to release the game at the same time everywhere (so everyone will have the same amount of time to practice). I also don't think there should be a demo, unless it is just a training room kind of thing where you can get used to duel-wielding and other new features.
