I mean, I would pesonally love to have halo 2 demo early but, I want everyone to be the same when it comes out for the first night. X-box live would be much funner if everyone just got the game the same night. I know I am gonna play the game for about 15 hours when it gets in my xbox. I just want the game to come out, but not with a demo before.

As long as none of the story is shown, and its very short, and doesn't have all the features. Then it will only ruin the fun of playing the full version for the first time a little.

Well, I would really like a demo, I think it would make me want the game more to see how great it is.

Of course. It would be imposible to screw up. It could be a 2-d strategy game and still be good.

We really have no proof of a demo in the first place, but your point is taken. I really don't think that it would be that big of a problem IF some kind of multiplayer demo was released. All you'd need to do is practice for 20 minutes when the actuall game came out and you'd be adjusted.

i think there should be a demo that has very little of what the game has to offer (like none of the features). but it tells you what you will be able to do in the full game. so it will get you even more anxious.
i hope that makes sence.

I think a Halo 2 demo would ruin the new surprises. Sure we know of duel-wielding and taking over vehicles, but we don't know these features. Releasing a demo regardless of whether or not it is single player or multi-player would definately ruin the surprise. Releasing early would heighten the surprise and doing nthing at all and waiting until November 9th would make absolutely no difference one way or the other.

1st: how do you know? You don't work for bungie.
2nd: The thread is about whether a Halo 2 demo would be good or bad, NOT whether there will be one or not.

As long as they don't put too much stuff in a demo, I think it would be a very good thing. If they put too many features in it though (like mp), lots of people will just play the demo over and over and not bother with the real game. It would need to be sp, but it would need to be a level like new mombasa, which doesn't give anything away.

You don't have to play it.
