Because it says ilovebees.com on the Halo 2 trailer.

Ok, my idea on the demo is that:
That would be something you would expect out of Bungie and Microsoft.
But how about this.

What if instead of having a demo, Bungie surprises you and has Halo 2 release ON aug 24.
I mean, it would be catastrophic. Just imagine (i know this sounds bogus, but it's just a theory)
You wake up on Aug 23, have your breakfast, you come to bungie.net to find the headline reading
"HA HA! WE GOT YOU!" and you become puzzled. You read into the topic and they tell you that the release date is TOMORROW.
You start to freak OUT. You call all your friends and tell them about this. Suddenly all those procrastinators that were gonna pre buy it or buy it right on it's release date RUSH into stores to pre-own it FAST! It would be just phenominal.
I know this is only a dream of mine and maybe many of yours, but it was just a thought i was having...

the ilovebees page is so messed up, how can any of that garbage actually be traced back ti halo2?

If you have played Halo, read the book (S), or think creatively. When they talk about the destruction of Reach, etc, that should be your first clue.

Man, if bungie doesn't do something big on august 24, I'm gonna be pissed. It seems somehow a rumor always gets started, people get their hopes up, and then that day comes and reality hits. "NOTHING HAPPENED"!!! I am almost sure though that the full game won't come out until november 9 because that is what is what it says specifically in the preview. And, in an old halo 2 faq, I remember specifically that one of the bungie employees stated their would be no halo 2 demo released (if someone could find that faq, it would be helpful, it was in a question and answer format). So what surprise does that leave if it isn't a demo or the full game? I don't know. Anybody else?

This is not the faq I was talking about, but it gives the same message. Read a little past the half of the page, with the subtitle being When will Bungie release a playable Halo 2 demo? The newer halo 2 faq.
