...

I'll just be patient and wait...

Last thing I would want is to get excited on something that can or cannot be what we expect (or downright wrong).

Though, I guess it is possible.... Bungie stated I believe that no public demo would be released, yet the E3 2004 fanfest where people were able to play Halo 2 (ordinary people) shows that not everything is set in stone.

Also note that Demo doesn't technically mean "Playable". It can mean a movie you get to play only or watch only.

The point of my saying don't get your hopes up is that so the majority of you won't get disappointed if it doesn't happen. If you wait and see, it will soften the blow, if it does happen then you can be exceptionally happy or what not....

This also means less hate mail for Bungie to answer if it doesn't happen =P

See? These anagrams are given to us by bungie to pass the time til halo 2 comes out. Who doesn't like puzzles? Though i wonder how many people bungie has working on making riddles and hidden messages for us.

Heh, If this is true, awesome. But honestly, that can't be the only answer. I have another theory which probably has been said before...But the test posted at the bottom of the blog spot, or rather the REALLY large post, seems it could be from a new Halo BOOK.

Heh, just speculation, and I know someone's already probably suggested it. I still there there is more to it, they wouldn't do all this , including the blog,

Okay, get one thing straight, someone else said this, and I'm going to bold it for you people so you get it straight. XBOX NO LONGER USES CD-ROMS, IT USES DVDS, SO THIS IS A GUY WITH TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS WHOSE ALSO PULLING YOUR CHAINS Thank you.

like i said earlier in one of the many post containing this message. someone really needs to take a lesson in statistics. there are so many different messages that could be created when you have that amount of letters to work with. the fact that they are assembled randomly from the letters with no pattern only hurts the theory. Here how about this:

HALO TWO STATUS: CANCELLED
EXPECTATION NOT MET
(do i really need to continue i can finish out the letters if you really want me to)

point taken?

Exactly right focused7, the number of anagrams you could pull from that string of words is enormous. Don't get me wrong, it's great fun to speculate on the dates and what they portend. And this is great fun watching the bees site change and drop more hints.
But if you take a step back from the buzz (sorry) and look objectively, this is merely a shrewd marketing campaign to get people talking about the game. And is it working? ...Uh that's an easy one to answer.

Really? If it's wrong, don't you guys find it MILDLY ironic that OXM is hitting the shelves August 24th? And don't you find it mildly ironic that the OXM Ad advertised the issue that will tell us the holiday games to get? And don't you ALSO find it mildly ironic that The OXM cover was wrapped and said "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL AUGUST 24TH!"

If you don't believe me... go here and check it out

no i don't find it ironic at all. well planned yes. and as far as there holiday issue I believe they put one out last year also reviewing all the games that would come out during the winter holiday season. does all this mean there will be a demo? not at all.

Ok, well then feel free to tell us what it is, because the person who started this thread obviously tried at least, and came up with a result that is highly plausible given other ironic date and times presented.

I doubt that will happen but I definatly believe something concerning Halo2 will happen Aug. 24. I honestly hope no demo comes out because it would ruin the rxperiense of first playing it.
A multi player might be good as long as it doesn't ruin the experience too much.

read what i said and look up the word ironic. not a single thing going on here is ironic. it is a well planned out marketing ploy. every chess piece is accounted for and the moves are carefully coordinated there is nothing ironic about what is going on.

all i was doing was making a statistical point that rearranging the letters to form a "secret message" don't mean squat cause you can make it say whatever you want it to say. you guys are in such a yank that you might not have a demo that if someone tries to disapprove a demo theory you go all ape on them.

Wile your right that this is not ironic, the chances of those words spelling out that phrase down to the punctuation is increadibly slim.
Maby someone can figure out if it says anything else.

If you read into the site and all of the links it might lead you to the repeating story of a lady who is straped to a table and and another woman is probing her mind. There's also a lot of references about sand, and it coming out of the lady's head.

Well, just to throw a few things out, the AI that Cortana encountered on the Covenant ship they captured might have something to do with this.

ok for someone to say there shouldn't be a demo b/c it will "ruin their experience" is just stupid. everyone wants to play halo 2. if theres a demo EVERYONE will be out to find it and buy it and enjoy it over and over till nov 9th. so yes, there should be a demo, before I give into the voices and start shooting...

I agree with hunter, but i think a way i would really enjoy a demo is if it is like a level that wont be in the game itself, so its getting me ready for the real thing, but isnt ruining my experience,,,, like maybe the level being MC in the ruins of HALO so then when H2 comes out Nov. 9 it will start things off right at earth.
