Maybe its not that Halo 2 is coming out... maybe the fourth book in the Halo Book Series is coming out. Throughout the site it talks about the seraph fighters and slipstream and some of the phrases sound like accounts of crewmen during combat.

Just a thought...
Flaming comencing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...ouch.

Maybe it is a book but wouldnt that spoil the story line? unless they did the story about earth up to the time master chief comes in

Maybe. Perhaps Halo 2 takes place a few months after the Chief and Cortana reach earth because in the E3 2003 demo it looks like Earth has been taking a beating for quite some time already and of course to get to earth the covenant still had to take out the outposts along the outter edges of the Solar System and any bases in orbit around, say, Jupiter or the Moon or any other planet.

I don't know, it was just a thought.

I think it'd be a bad choice for Bungie to release a demo because some people will buy the demo and then say that they don't like Halo 2 and not buy it after all which would cost Microsoft and Bungie. I think its best to just keep everyone on edge until November 9th or August 24th, whenever it comes out.

I don't think they'd do this all for a book, but if so, the story would most likely either be from before the MC came in, or before and during the covenant attack on earth before MC arrives. That would be real cool.

its gona be a demo man. its counting down to a microsoft released mag and if you change around the letters of "HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX. STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION. COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:"

You get... "INDEX THIS IRONCLAD PREDICTION : HALO TWO SINGLE PLAYER DEMO CD-ROM DISK INCURSION AT AUGUST TWENTY FOUR. EARTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME."

its not going to be a book

ICE 0ne
a clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory

i think part of first strike has to be in halo 2 though. otherwise ppl who haven't read the book will be confused as how the mc got back to earth.

You can make anything out of that, you can get "Halo Two has been cancled: you are all suckers". So don't read too much into this anagram.

in reply to sun tzu : ya... you got that from ign was it.. or mabey gamespot. anyways they also went to say that they would have a ton of letters left over and would have to make another sentence to support the other one. but this one is seamless and it sounds official. im usually sceptical but this time i think that there will be a demo.
