I know that there are lots of H2 Demo/Full version on Aug 24th but the following confuses me...

"This was taken from http://chespace.1up.com/

* So I went to Bungie and played Halo 2. I also got a nice tour of their studio. Along with folks from other pubs like Game Informer, Gamepro, Play, OXM, and about 20 Japanese journos from Famitsu, etc., we played for hours and hours. But I can't talk about any of it for a month so ask no questions and I tell you no lies. But dear god, it was good. Soooo good <shiver>.

Hmmm....Cant talk about it for a month eh....Maybe cuz we are getting a 50 CC dose of H2............maybe not..........

What can be "SOOOO" Secret you cant talk abotu it for a month? and obviously it has to do with the ILB Counter ending a month from now (little bit shorter) so im guessing it IS something like a Demo/Release/Video

Even if the FUll game doesnt come out (unlikely that it would) Id be happy with a Multiplayer demo...(Zanzibar, No live) that would be nice :)

I noticed an issue of OXM that said there was a LIVE demo for a game, it had a Halo 2 art on the cover actually.

heres my take.im thinking that what he cant talk about for a month is the early release. im guessing that in the aug24th oxm there will be a halo 2 walkthrough since the game (theoretically) is releasing that day. with screenshots all that good stuff. and the reason for all those publishers being there is to start the metastasizing. on agu 10th the medium will metastasize. and how else to metastasie it but to invite all the top game publishers. on august 10th are questions will be answered

As some say: "BUNGIE WILL NOT RELEASE THE FULL VERSION, BECAUSE THEY SAID ITS ON THE NOV 9TH!" That might not be entirely true...

Lets say they DO release early...it might not be teh 24th...the 24th might just be where they advertise a new release date...like September 9th or something. Bungie isnt stupid...they wont just...send a game out with no advertising and noone knowing...

They can't talk about it until they start making there November issue. Which would be in about a month.

Heres a graph
Already Made: September
Making Now: October
Making in a month : November

Why not? It would break the "rules" and blow the top off of the gaming circles (like this forum.) Microsoft did it with windows 95, and it achieved a total suprise...and a subsequent rush of consumers to buy it. I mean, who else but bungie/microsoft could blitz a game into production and consumers so fast? No one else.

Yes it does

Just think.

They put magazines into the public 1 month before the real month. Like most people got there September OXM a week ago. Therfore they would be making the October OXM now. In about a month the October issue will be done and shipped and they will begin working on the November issue. And what happens in November?
