Penny Arcade has an expo on the 28th in Washington. They have a demo of Zanzibar that anyone can play... that's all well and good until you realize that there is no reason for them to have a demo if the game comes out on the 24th... who wants to go all the way to Washington to play a demo for a game that already came out or already has a demo widely available

This really sucks... especially since I was a strong believer in it coming out then and, like anyone, wanted to have the game in my hand in only one month. At the same time, I wouldn't consider myslef a true fan unless I acknowledged both sides of everything having to do with my beloved game. Well, there's still the chance that maybe it will go golden on that day, or maybe something cool will happen. Bungie hasn't said that they aren't involved in ilovebees yet (in fact they haven't mentioned it at all) so I will continue to think that something will happen, though it probably won't be an early release or a demo.

What if they release a single player demo for everyone on 24th, but keep multiplayer to themselves?

It's possible, but I don't know how likely it is

Not necessarily. What if it's only a part of a level? They only have to give you two guns in the demo, say pistol and needler, so that you don't get to see any secret weapons, and they only let you play up to the cutscenes.

That way, you can play around with the game, and bungie doesn't give any secrets.

If it does come out on November 9th, a lot can change in 3 months. They might put something in the demo that ends up different in November.
