Hmm, where's my 3rd grade insult book...

Why do u feel like trying 2 put people down. Is that a hobby or something, because u sure feel like wasting ur time trying 2 prove urself 2 others. But im sure u wont read this because ur soooooooo busy trying 2 make others feel bad.

Don't freak out man, just because bungie never said that it wasn't coming out on the 24th doesn't mean it is.

There are 364 other dates they haven't said Halo 2 will come out on either.


true, but there was a hint that it might come out on Aug. 24,so you cant really say that.
personally i think(hope) its a demo.

Hmmm? I think you'd better go back again skippy.. You were getting all bent out of shape... Grow up man... It's not worth crying over... I was trying to have a rational conversation, and your arguments fell flat.

LOL What is that supposed to mean? I didn't argue with your opinion, I argued with your reasoning for the opinion..

If you want to believe it's coming out early - go ahead, join the countless others who will be filling their Lithium Prescriptions on August 25th.

But don't come into this thread and start crying because you can't make a solid debate.

And what did the White House have to do with anything?

SP would be easier to do, but MP wouldn't give any storyline away.. And live would add so much fuel to the fire - Especially if they were timed servers, where they went down after like 3 weeks...

If its a live mp demo, I'll probably hurt myself. (don't have live) I'm going to buy live for Halo 2, but not until Nov 3rd or something.

I'm trying to save the "one year free" after purchase for as much Halo 2 as possible. I don't want to pay by the month until I have to.
By the way, how much is the monthly fee anyway?

i think the monthly fee is 5 bucks but im not sure. it is, however, cheaper if paid by the year. i recommend that.

Can you guys give me your opinion or argument on why Bungie/MS would benefit from making a Demo available to the public? I mean, everyone can have thier own argument/opinion on why H2 would come out 8/24 vs 11/9, but if your going to voice some type of point, I want to hear what type of benefit that the supplier is going to get out of the whole situation. Why come out with a demo just a couple of months from the release date? Is it to make sure that the people that are on the fence on buying H2 on 11/9, actually buy H2 when it is released? I was under the impression that MS was closing in on close to a million pre-orders of H2, why spend the time/money/resources to make a demo (advertisement) on something that is a "must buy item" for people that have not pre-ordered. I guess I just do not understand the point to a demo so close to a release date...

Well, we don't really know what it's going to be -- this is just idle speculation at best.

And in the case of a server timed demo -- It would simply create a need for the game.. It's like cigarettes, just give that kid his first pack.....

A Demo would basically be Halo Heroin. You'd be lined up outside of Wal-MArt and Sears waiting for the door to slide open....

Oh yes, I understand its speculation, but even with idle speculation, you still need something to coordinate that thinking. If you were MS, how would you/MS benefit? How can you explain the cost vs. the benefit of creating the demo.

Create a need for the game? Why create a need that is already there? Especially when all the kids smoke already...

LOL Good point -- Let's say that it would be more in Bungie's interest than in Microsoft's....

Bungie has always enjoyed a fairly rabid fanbase, and that would be like the Scooby Snack before the 3 foot high sandwich.

Bungie is doing this recent fiasco with the fans in mind - I'm sure of that.

But I can't really answer your question in the way that you need it answered..

From what I understand...Bungie=Microsoft, mind, body and soul. This isn't like Pixar and Disney, Bungie is a studio for games Pwned by Microsoft. There is no Bungie stock, there is no Bungie company, there is no contract between Microsoft and Bungie, Bungie is just a name of a location and the management. So Microsoft is benefiting from everything that Bungie (Microsoft) does.

LOL on the whole scooby snack, 3 foot high sandwich thing. LMAO.

Jim, check out this thread if you so please http://bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=421854. You commented in it earlier I think. Some of my beliefs of an early release date are in there.

I'm tired, I go sleepy now, b/c I'm a big -blam!-. Thanks for your time.

Says a lot, when you call a thread boring, but you decide to comment in the thread. If you don't like the thread junior, go to another and make your dumbass comments there.
