Yep, it's gone... that and the cover of the august version of the official Xbox mag, it wouldn't be surprising that a demo is on its way.
The beta test was over yesterday, they gonna press the disks in 14 days and release it on the 24th.
Gold is the color of honey, by the way.

whoa whoa whoa whoa, you just say on the FAQ, they took away the "Demo will never be released before the game." thing? If thats true, well theres proof yo our Halo 2 MP demos on Aug 24. I would rather they sent it to all pre-orders...easyer to get and dont pay -blam!- :(.

I don't know if EGM ever releases demo disks, but their new issue has something that goes like
"in the next issue you'll be able to say hello to a game everyone will be dying to play."
hello to -> Halo 2?

Could it be just a review of Halo2?
But wouldn't that be too early?
Hell, Halo had a demo. And the E3 Zanzibar map seemed pretty polished as far as I read (many ppl played it and never noticed crashes or stuff missing).
Besides, what's better to give them one last chance to do a huge multiplayer test before the final release?

What a coincidence...

wait a minute i saw a few min ago on xbox.com the old faq... It said that bungie would never release a demo cuz that would ruin the surprise. they want fans to experience what to do in the full version.

well it's gone from the new faq.
Besides, so many videos and shots of the Zanzibar map are available, I found that weird - it's been dissected to death already.
Releasing the actual demo won't show more. The single player game is under wraps though.

That, and the ESRB web site that already has a rating for Halo2..
I know a game doesn't need to be done to have a rating, but I've checked the site for other "big" games supposed to come till XMas (MGS, GTA-SA,...) and couldn't find another one that already had a rating.
On the other hand, wouldn't Bungie need a rating if they're planning to release a Halo 2 demo?

I AM WIN WIV LEET WEPENZ

Does anyone have any info on the next U.K. edition of OXM? If this all turns out to be true (and it looks like it is) and us brits dont get it, there's no telling what I might do!

P.S. Just a thought, if it is a LIVE demo, then network throttling could be testing the final test of the multi-player network.
