If its not a demo, than what is it? To make this much hype and give us just screens would be a waste.

Is it possible for the demo, if there is one, to be written on CD-ROM's instead of DVD-ROM's if its size allowed it?

The 24th may also be the start of a huge Halo 2 marketing campain.

I just got my August 2004 issue of OXM today. The only reference to Halo at all is for the best Xbox game competition or something, and a bunch of tiny interviews from OXM staff that got to play Halo 2. No demo, no nothing, so if it is to be released, it will have to be released seperately. Bungie could make millions by charging $20 for the demo if they wanted to.

Well since OXM releases 1 issue a month and that issue is for August, anyone with common sense would assume that August 24, like any other day in August, is a part of the month August, and is thereby covered by the August issue...

Its funny cause you just got this mag. in july....Hmm....So mabey by any chance In a few days when it will be august...there will be a NEW magazine on the 24 HMMMM sound logical it does to me.....lol some people just dont think :~P

PS-its NOT the august 24 edition because they said it would be released on august 24....smart ass

(By that I mean do you think Microsoft woul put that much of a fuss for a mag that really has nothing good in it...I think not...wait until august 25 when they SAY it will be on newsstands :D)

No, the issue with the demo(hopefully) will be released on August 24th so it will be Ocotobers issue

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

Correct i think guess, is better, its not even a hypothesis

Well here are my "whys" it wont be a demo. First of all it is Halo 2, they dont need a demo to "hype" people about it, wich is actually demo's "goals". Second, by releasing a demo they will actually lower the "hypes" on the game because people will play the demo over and over again and wont be as anxious as if they had never played it. Third, Ryan McCaffrey from Official Xbox Magazine stated in the TeamXbox Forums that there will probably be a demo of Halo 2, but we wont see it untill after release. (http://forum.teamxbox.com/showthread.php?t=277468 so you see for yourself). Fourth, why make such a big marketing thing for a single demo? Dosent seem logic.

Also another interesting fact, 11/09/04 wich is the "release date" for Halo 2, 11 + 9 + 4= 24.

Flame me if you want, but I think it is coming out in Agust 24th.

EDIT: On a side note, in the trailer a voice says "Rated M for Mature" and I couldnt find the thread but there is a thread in TeamXbox Forums too that has a quote from the ESRB ratings and it says that in order for the ESRB to rate the game they need the FINAL PRODUCT.

Im not going to flame you cause for all we know, it could, but imo, i think it wont. As i said, it would make people who didnt have xbox live or an xbox, get one,

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.

yeah unless of course they just released a demo of new mombasa cuz everyone has seen the e3 2003 vid so you'd know that storyline anyway, just redone with the latest build
that in my opinion woulld be so awesome but unlikely

Ok no the August 24th issue is going to be a holiday issue with previews for all the games coming out soon including Halo 2. Look at TeamXbox.com they have a picture of the issue. It comes out on August 24th which is weird because we subscribers usually get the mag a month before the actual month, and if this magazine is going to be the October edition its strange it is coming out August 24th. It'd be cool if there was a demo. There's no way it is coming out. Absolutely no way. But Bungie could be bull-blam!-tin us who the hell knows? There could be nothing at all. Whatever I'm excited about the new screens and info. -blam!- a demo.
