I found something very intresting and have drawn my own conclusions. Not only is OXM having a august 24th mga, so is XBN,XBM,Electronic gaming mag, and some others, which prob means that all will carry a special halo 2 demo in wich the whole world will get a sick look at the new game and go by xbox's. What u guys think. No flameing

Are you trying to say that all of those magazines are going to be realeasing special edition mags? Kinda like a "EXTRA!" for the newspaper? If so, there is nothing that it can be besides a halo 2 demo although I doubt that there will be one.

In my opinion...there wont be a demo. First of all Microsoft never does that, second it will somehow kill the hype because people would have played it allready and they wont be like "omg I want to play that game allready! I need to buy it allready!" they will still buy it but it will kill the hype a little bit. And last but not least, demos are actually done to get people interested into the game....Halo 2 dosent need that.

It doesn't matter if anybody works for Bungie or not. Anybody with any sense knows that they will NOT release it early.

Demos usually are to get people interested in a game, H2 has almost a million pre-orders. There's plenty of interest.

  • 07.30.2004 3:47 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

im thinkin that it will be a bunch of new screenshots,or the new wallpaper Zoe had us vote on,or maybe a couple new 3D screenshots,if not a demo.

[color=lime] It may not be Bungie's style to release demo's of their stuff, but it sure is Microsofts!

NO ONE can say microsoft doesnt make demos because that would be the most ignorant thing ever thought up in the history of man kind.[/color]

MS does it all the time. OXM has loads of playable demos. A demo would increase the hype not decrease it. Will you want Halo2 any less after playing a demo of it? No you will be craving for more. Finally, you might not believe this but there are people outside these forums who aren't sure whether they will get Halo2 or not. If they play a demo and they like it then its more sales for bungie and microsoft.

I say this as an opinion not persuasion by the way incase the following post is about me?

You'r a moron if you go one way or another with death defying vigor. Simply state ideas why or why not its a good idea, or what reasons there are for them too release it or what would happen if they didnt.

The end result is always Yea, we want the demo. If you so feel inclined not to want it, DON't play it. Do not make up our minds.

It's not that I don't want it, it's that I'm telling you the way it is. NO DEMO, NO EARLY RELEASE.

No, I don't work for Bungie, I don't have to. Anyone with any friggin sense knows I'm right.

  • 07.30.2004 4:19 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

no they dont. jus tbecause you said that theres no demo,that the way its gonna be?? bull-blam!-. you dont work at Bungie or MS,therefore, your opinions and beliefs dont mean anything. it doesnt have to be a playable demo either. it could just be a long trailer of demonstration like the Zanzibar demo at E3 04

When you type in all CAPS, you are yelling. Yelling annoys people- so stop yelling.

Neither do yours.

Now THAT is a lot more realistic than thinking there will be a demo or early release.
