Ok, i have a few reasons why Bungie and Microsoft would make an MP demo of Halo 2 for us.

1.) Some one pointed out that on the FAQ, the demo thing is gone.
2.) Why, on aug 24th, would just a bunch of screens and info on a magazine be this big thing?
3.) OXM has a challenge of Halo 2 ( i think) and the case is Halo 2.
4.) Demo would make a bunch of people sign up for xbox live giveing Microsoft alot of new users, and what game other than Halo 2 MP demo to do so?

Thats all i got, but i might be wrong.

Anyone else wanna add anything to this list?

Bull, as I've posted in another thread.

Propaganda. It's all fuel to hype the release of Halo 2, so when it's August 24th, and Halo 2 isn't out (It never was gonna be out the 24th) I don't wanna hear everyone bi.tching.

I don't understand why they wanted to boost the hype when It's already got a 4 million person fan base or more. I could sit down at a computer, and type a bunch of random shi.t that has some relation to Halo 2, and as long as it was vague, and Official Bungie/Microsoft material, everyone would flip. They're easily manipulating the way we think, I love bungie, but this whole conspiracy thing is pissing me off. First I was interested, but now it's like. Either you tell us something, or keep it confidential.

maybe its a demo that you can only play once, because they have those new DVDs (Xbox games are DVDs) that will destroy itself after it is done plaing. Self destructing DVD here

I dont think the game is coming out on aug 24th, thats just retarded. But a demo is what i think is coming, not SP cause it would ruin a bit of the story, whitch i dont want.

Ya it would be cool but... i honestly would prefer to wait for the whole game otherwise you already know what its gonna be like all that would be left is a different lvl i want the full blast all at once i'm hoping that its not the demo that comes out on 24 but instead suprise release of the game but i doubt either will happen

I definately think there will be a demo release on the 24th. The www.ilovebees.com thing WAS made by bungie, or it wouldn't be in their trailer. And they haven't given much feedback, so they're keeping it confidential on purpose. Plus a multiplayer demo release would make LOTS of people go off and buy xbox live (including me) which would be good for microsoft. They'd profit more than lose from the demo, imo, so I don't see why they wouldn't make one. They already have the material, all they have to do is spit it out on a disk and produce it. And in the last update Frankie sort of hinted that everything was in a near-finished state, so a demo is definately possible. That's my two cents.

Yes, but OXM Subscirbers get it a month early, so you'd have to wait I think.

The caps lock button is on the left side of the key board ;) And did you know that the release date is subject to change? Microsoft can change it whenever they want...its just a matter of money for them...and game completion...

I wish people wouldn't call them theories. A theory is a fact that has been proven time and time again.

1. They removed it to show that there will NOT be a demo.
2. It's Halo 2......A single pic of it makes ppl drool.
3. Uhh what?
4. One thing: Halo Pc Trial Version. When they released a demo for Halo pc it was the worst thing they could ever do! More ppl are playing the FREE Trial Verion then playing the real game. If they released a trial Of Halo 2, im gonna say more ppl would play that then the real thing.
