OK heres my theory. This whole I love bees thing can lick my sweaty ones. This is such a marketing sham and everyone here is bitting into it really hard. Everyone needs to calm down because its creating hype about demos and early releases that arent going to happen. I guarantee it.
1) Halo demo- How long would it take to mass produce and distribute all the copies neccesary to do this? think 7 million plus copies, oxm distributes less than 100000 each month. this and the fact they said no demo before the game.
2) there will be no early release. Why would they spend tons of money on theatrical previews for the "average" consumer, the joe shmoe who doesnt know about bungie.com. It wasnt for us. So why spend all this money to reach everyone saying nov 9 then 2 secs later in a quick blink of the eye glich say I LOVE BEES. com , all the nerds, wizards and elves in here cant figure it out what makes you think Juan from Los Angeles can?
3) the whole ESRB thing. HALO 2 is still in BETA testing. The beta disk is done, but they are still teating it. Anygame that has shooting and shows ANY kind of blood or gore gets a M (mature) rating no mattter what.So Halo 2 will have Mature rating regardless of whatthe ESRB people think unless they took out the bllod which would suck cough cough medal of honor cough cough


There will be a new Halo book. Heres why I think so
When the book "first Strike" ended it ended with them destroying the unyielding hyro what ever and a whole covie armada right? And now theyhead back to earth. There is now a huge gap from that to the MC jumping out of a ship towards eart (yes I know thats not the first level but just listen) It would be kinda boring for us to start the game with the covies attack our ship back to earth it would be the pillarof atumn all over again. There are to many unanswered questions and stuff to be answered by a game with out there being to many cut scenes and stories which halo is an awesome game because there are so few breaks between game play. REad so of the new stuff on ILOVEBEES some of it sounds like cortana's going kinda nuts. IN firswt Strike cortana is starting to lose it a little and started to copy herself.

Go to barnes and nobles web or borders web it says there is a new halo trilogy book set coming out and halo 2 enchanced book coming out september and one site said TBA. So there is a new book thingy coming out soon.

Anyways Thats my theory im still working on but remeber this, dont fall prey to this marketing scheme. OXM is full of it, they will take advantage of us and this AUG 24 thing to sell its mags im sure theyll just have some new pics. Look at IGN last night posted "exclusive new halo 2 pics" at 12 am and what was it? 3 pics of the new toy series. Dont get suckered bu the hype, it wont come out early, there wont be a demo0 quit getting my hopes up. I might start crying I want HALO 2 so bad.

besides here me and my friends playing halo 2 at fanfest... why do we need a demo :===>
