No way. That's not going to happen, not until after release of the game.

So you mean to tell me that there's a single-player-demo-release out there and there's somethin' wrong with it? Wait, I see this one dude above me sayin' no. OK!

The press is already in on whatever this is that will happen on August 24th, and a VIP from Black Widow on IGN boards highlighted the first letters of the words in that statement as a clue.


In 3 days they will be done beta testing.

In 17 days "this medium" will metasticize (replicate).

On august 24th it will release, mark my words.


Single Player Demo Release!

I'm inclined to believe there will be a demo released.

I mean, look at The Chronicles of Riddick. The demo released with OXM ahead of the street date. Word of mouth spread and sales were quite high for this almost sleeper hit from the relatively unknown developer Starbreeze.

In comparison, Bungie is tasked with completing and releasing the single most sought after sequel on the Xbox. Not only that, but they have the daunting, but achievable, task of promoting the Xbox LIVE service like there's no tomorrow. Halo 2, and perhaps teamed with Doom 3 and HL2 later, are the kiler apps to carry the Xbox through the remainder of this year. Halo 2 is different from the other two for the reason that it is supposed to be a more accessible game. One that I think both Bungie and MS are trying to get everyone and their dog to play.

That said, unlike the release of Halo: CE, where the demo came out after the game went to retail, Bungie just might have a H2 demo before November 9th to seal the deal for gamers who might have been on the fence.

As Bungie has been emphasizing since day one, H2 is supposed to be the most encrushinating thing since Fat Albert went to work in a Sara Lee cake factory.

Either way, we just have to wait and see...

then again they could just release a demo of new mombassa that was shown at e3 03, then they wouldn't be losing any story because we've all seen it a million times, but with all the updates that have occured to the gameplay engine, weps etc. that would be pretty kick ass man

Dude, it would be so cool if we had these pregnant sentinels that were, like, all flaming and shot out baby flaming sentinels that would be all "YARRRGH!" then they'd be like, "WHAAAAR" when they shoot.

That'd be sweet.

Single...Player...Demo...Release?
I dont think bungie or anyone else would waste their time to take over some bee lovers's site or make a fake one to give clues to a single player demo release, just think about it, single player demo release... woopdi-blam!-'indo!

And even if it's a singe player demo release, would you play it? last halo had 10 levels, play 1 and thats already 10% of the game spoiled. and the power and hype of the halo 2 release would be 10% reduced knowing they'd have to play the demo level over again!

I think your topic should say SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX = Multi...Player...Demo...Release that way hype would increase.
