If there were demos, I think it would mess up Halo 2 for me and alot of other people:
Anyways, all in all, I have seen all the evidence for a demo, and it adds up, but it doesnt seem very "Bungie-ish."

So here are my reasons why a demo would suck my balls:

SINGLE PLAYER DEMO:
If it is a single player demo, DOY, we will lose the story and if it takes place on a later level it will give the story away. Even if it is the first level, we wont be getting to good experience we could get if we just wait until the REAL release date on November 9th (assuming that that is the date, even though it MAY possibly be August 24th).

MULTIPLAYER DEMO:
If there is a multiplayer demo, it will sell like hotcakes and not everyone will get it of course, worse yet, this demo will be being played all two months NON FREAKING STOP until November 9th, so by then everyone will be freaking awesome and others wont be able to match up to their skill, which in my opinion, will suck. The cool thing about the release of Halo 2 is that everyone will go into it with the same level of understanding on things such as the (maps, new weapons, and tactics) so we will all have fun discovering things together, whereas if there is a demo, people will go in trying to discover and enjoy their first Halo 2 experience, while crazy losers that sit in their basements all day playing videogames will just come over and spawn camp or do something stupid like that.

That is why I feel like i want to just wait for the game, although it would be damn awsome if it came out a little sooner than freaking November 9th.

I mean why the hell is it taking so goddam long!

The only thing i decided was to post my opinion. If bungie does a demo I know I will get it I'm not trying to influence them.

a clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory

i kinida agree with your single player reasoning, but i think it wouldn't be bad if they released the e3 demo level which we've already seen.

your reasoning for not having a multiplayer demo is somewhat flawed. true people who get the demo will be better than those who wait, but some people are going to be better than other regardless, and some will still suck regardless. not everyone who gets halo 2 will get it nov 9th either. that gives ppl who do get it nov 9th an advantage over others, that's just how things work.

i disagree. They can just throw u into a level and not give away the plot. U ever played other demos before? Do they just throw out the stortyline no. And whats wrong with people getting better than u at halo 2? U going to get jelous. Then get ur demo then. I think it wuld be cool to have a demo, but i am not going to ask bungie, or the mods for it. Its going to be A SURPRISE either way and i luv bungie so u should luv bungie becuase either
decision they make is going to be the right decision so luv them.

seriously though dude, 1 multiplayer map wont ruin it if you're worried about people getting good then GET IT! if you dont want it dont complain some people do. also im sure that halo 2 is a lot like the first halo control wise. the only thing people can get good at is knowing the map, if you dont want to play the demo dont then if you want to play multiplayer on that one map practice it ya know that saying practice makes perfect. so practice if you dont want to get killed all the time and yea.

I agree. And also, if it's one map there are still others we are on the same ground as also.

OK the multiplayer probably wouldnt bee that big of a deal, but still.
Zanzibar would be alright because we have already seen it, if they released that, I guess.
But I still know that that is going to be the first map I will play, and it would be cool, the first day I get online for everyone to be going TOGETHER:
"Hey man, did you see that sword! THATS SO COOL!"
or
"There are those window hinges it said in that one article! ROCK ON BIATCH!"

ok a single player demo will NOT fuk up the plot. if its a random battle, like the E3 new mombasa one, there wont be very much plot in it (that we dont know)

Although I am completely against a single player demo. A multiplayer demo will be more than enough to last till nov. 9. Although to tell you the truth i don't think a demo is necessary ( Halo 2 is hyped to the extreme already).

ok he's a mod, he doesnt work for bungie, he has no idea whats going to happen and anything he says is just as much theory as any of us, so stop acting like he knows whats going on, hes just a mod

dude. really.. come on.. dont you think if bungie WAS going to release a demo... they would think of all those odviouse reasons... first.. im shure they would not idioticly give you a demo of a level that would reveal stuff.. second.. if they gave us a demo of wat they showed at the 3e 2003 where itw as the first level.. that would be fine.. cuz weve already seen it.. and it doesnt tell much.. ALSO


IF THEY released a demo for multiplayer hey would make shure its not the complete level and crap... they would make shure that it is blanced and crap.. also...


you say it would be unfiar? how would it be unfair? if the other people are better at it when you start.. then o well its THAT PERSONS FAULT FOR NOT GETTING IT! and who cares? really? its not about being better its about HAVING FUN...to me it just sounds like are just trying to arouns things. so i repect that you have gotten off of theis ilovebees stuff. so thanks


im not trying to say your a crap head.. i was just seing it on the other side of the point.

a multiplayer demo would suck. it would drop sails, because ppl would play the demo and ditch the game. a single player demo will show off the fantasitic lighting, stunning graphics and realism, and so on.

Well the mods know a heck of alot more than you. They freakin moniter all the forums. All the evidence you have against them, they already heard, long before you did.

only if it sucked, which i highly doubt it would. people have been playing halo for like 3 years. 2 extra months of halo 2 would not satiate anyone.

no maybe they might actaully realize how great multiplayer is and wanna play it even more. Halo 1 as been out for 3 years and people r still playn mutliplayer. Halo multiplayer is more fun than single player

The mods dont work for bungie!!! and btw... i want to be surprised when halo2 is released. I do not want to know cuz then i will be sick of playing Zanzibar or New mombasa, i just like it more when its released.
