ok alot of people in the forums dont belive that there will be a demo for halo 2. Let me exlain to the people who dont know.

1- Yesterday new text apperd on the i love bee's site im not shure the exact words (som 1 post it plz) but it says that there will be a demo realease on the 24th.

2- In the FAQ for halo 2, it no longer says that bungie will not make a demo before its realease.

3- OXM (officail xbox magizine) has a pic to a oxm cover mytseriously launches on the 24th also (i whould appreaticte if som 1 gave a link to the pic) it is half coverd in christmas wraping and it says dont open until the 24th.

So thats the three reasons why there MIGHT be a demo. now you can decide if you think that there will or will not be a demo.

People are looking into the 3rd one way to hard. Its wrapped in christmas paper because its the Holiday Guide. The Holiday Season is christmas time. Plus they probably dont have the cover art done yet. Other then that, i agree with you.

Hes talking about the anagram, but with an anagram of that size you could pull out basically anything you want, for instance, I can pull out "HALO 2 CANCELED, YOU ARE ALL SUCKERS" and still have about 70 more letters to work with.

I think the only truly valid reason here is #2, but I think #3 is important as well, because a demo disc may come with the August 24 Holiday Guide.

But, that is very interesting how the FAQ no longer says there won't be a demo...

there will not be public demo. bungie said that. that is weird about the faq though. but halo 2 is still in testing stage so its impossible.

For your first point. that wasnt posted on ILOVEBEES, it was someone trying to disprove the demo theory. Some people were trying to prove that if you re arange the letterrs on the black popup, it says that( and with some unnessesary words thrown in) that A demo is coming out on august twentyfourth and the earth will never be the same. It was proven that with the letters you can also spell pretty much any sentance you wanted. He managed to write a sentance that said that frankie ate a thumtack and died.
IN a new FAQ in the forums at XBOX.com there is a question that asks " will there be a demo for HALO 2 ? THe answer was essentaly , no, any demo will be in the form of a video like the one at E3 03.
I hope all you nuts stop talking about a demo, Bungie isnt going to give away any demo, ever. Just wait to pick up your special edition Halo 2 that you pre ordered, on November the 9th

You should all consider yourselves very lucky if something even physical comes out of all this.

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

No one pointed out that a company by Bungie put something new for each letter but had to hold back on D, duh Demo! Also they made a Halo PC and Halo demo of the Silent Cartographer, in that demo, you knew the story line, but didnt actually do anything with it! that was a cool level!

Well thats rong, coz i got a demo before Halo was on sale? But it'll probably like some information about weapons or a cool new feature or new vehicle!

Dont forget that the game has also been given a rating from ESRB that means that it is finished.
