I just wanted to let you guys know you shouldnt get to worked up about an early release or an in game demo release, because the beta test is still in progress as we speak, they wouldnt release it that early if they are still testing its online ability.
Also the beta has downloadable content for single player level's, system link ability, MP maps, controler config's etc.

SO if anyone is getting an in game single player demo its the Beta tester's, im sorry to burst a bubble or two, and i am also sorry that i have no evidence to back this up, but i promise you it is true.

I will post this tomarow at 5 p.m. just for good measure.

This is like talking to a brick wall, you dont have to believe me. You are all in for an awakening of sorts in maybe 2-3 weeks.

A friend of mine that works at Microsoft said that beta testing is over , he said that he had to give the disk back.


Either he's a liar, or some testers had to give there Beta's back.

all you kids who say that you know someone at m$ or bungie are liars, if you knew anything about h2 you would either be telling us everything or patiently waiting until the release date

if you guys know so much about the beta, what are some other maps besides the ones we all know (zanzibar, lockout, burial mounds, waterworks etc.)

I have no idea beyond that the beta is being tested and the interface is a bit clunky(as it is in beta stage) The only ppl that can play the live demo have a special dev gamertag(dont know too much about that though) My other friend (who doesn't work at m$) got a call to play test Halo 2 at m$ for 3 hours. He thinks its too much like the first one. He sux though cuz he didn't even get into the first one. He got to pick out 2 software title for playtesting. He picked win xp pro and voodoo vince for the box. and uhh yea thats about it.
