Do you guys think that there should be a Halo 2 playable demo?
Should it have just MP so it doesn't ruin the story, or should it have single player??

I think that there should be a single player/multiplayer demo, I mean come on, some people might want to know a little bit of the story. I'm not saying I'm one of them, it's just that there should be a chance for the people who do want to know. But there should definitely be a demo, because alot of people are jealous of the ones who got to play it at E3. I mean, what's so special about them, that they got to play the greatest game ever made before anyone else. Everyone should have the same chance.
EDIT: the single player means both MP and SP.

mabey single player if anything because i want to see some of the action before november 9th but i don't want to see multiplayer cause people who played the multiplayer level would have too much of an advantage over people who didn't

I don't want anything to spoil my unadulterated enjoyment of the finished product. The anticipation will build and it will be that much better when the game comes out.

What made the people so special that played the demo at e3 is that they have dedicated themsevles to video games, whether it be making them or reviewing them, most of us can't say we have dedicated ourselves compeletly to video games. There will be no demo.

Not everyone at E3 got to play Halo 2. It was by invite only and most of them were press. Oh, and also the 90 fans that attended FanFest.

Sorry guys, but I would really love a multiplayer demo, even if it was just the E3 demo. Could you image the multiplayer demo being shipped with OXM and later on one of the Microsoft demo disks. It would be the highest grossing issue for OXM. And also Xbox Live flooded by people just playing the demo over the next couple of months while we wait for the real thing. I don't think this would give an unfair advantage, one if you don't have live now, then you probably won't when the game comes out. Secondly there is still things that are going to change, hence its a demo, before the product finally releases.

I think it would be the ultimate show of love from bungie to its gamers to let us know they are thinking of us, to wet our appitites!

Please bring the demo! No single player though, because I want to experience its glory unadulterated.

That's not necessarily true... I don't plan on getting Live until a few days before Halo 2 comes out. Halo 2 is more or less the only reason I'm getting Live...

Anyways, yeah, a SP demo would be cool with me -- as long as it didn't reveal too much of the story.

Yeah, actually, I'm more on the MP side now. Though, the story line for the SP might even change between now and then, keep that in mind.

Bungie would be stupid to release a demo of halo 2 before the 9th
