I highly doubt this has anything to do with anything. Many things happened on August 24th that weren't big at all lol.

I still think that the fact that there is a Halo 2 demo @ PAX after aug. 24th needs to be taken into account


That's what I've said a few times... PAX has a demo for Zanzibar in Washington on the 28th... who would want to go all the way to Washington to play a demo of a game that's already released.

A demo doesn't seem necessary. What audience would they be trying to win over with a demo? I don't think they even need that kind of effort, Halo2 will sell itself. I really want to believe that Halo2 is comin out on the 24th, but the updates keep saying that parts of the game aren't finished. But, could they write that Halo2 is unfinished, when it actually is, just to cover their backs? Or would that be against Bunge policy, to lie like that.

I don't think they'd release the game until at least PAX is done... maybe it will go gold on the 24th... I think I'd be happy with that. At the same time, I'm almost possitive that Bungie is involved, so I should get at least a content flood or something, Either way, I'm happy. Just a lot happier if the game releases early.

Whats wrong with a demo at PAX? Even when games are already released. They still showcase them at E3 to get more consumers.

Is this a demo or a tournement, because if it is a tourny, then one level is all they use anyway. If it is a demo, then maybe it IS the full game.

Its not a demo..... They would not release a crappy demo that not every one can get... they would release something that everyone can do

Halo 2 is not coming out early, with as much time and money microsoft and bungie have put into this game they are not going to make a mistake and screw something up that they can take thease next 3 months to critique and work out, they realesed halo 1 sooner then they should have and lots of stuff wasnt done that was supposed to. With all of this ilovebees crap, bungie is just screwing with all of us, i mean look at the forums, more ppl are joining the site and are more curious then ever. This is all just one huge media ploy for ppl to spread their advertising for the game. And last but not least, a demo would ruin the game, all that time waiting, and you just go buy the stupid demo. For those of you who want to take it in the ass on the 24th you will get what you so desire, but for the rest of us its time to just clench our butt cheeks and wait it out till the 9th.

It's a demo, that's why everyone was so excited about PAX a month ago, Ilovebees hadn't come out yet, and Pax said that they had a playable demo (anyone can play it) of Zanzibar for two days. Why would they make such a deal over the demo if the actual game comes out four days before that? I still think that it might go gold on the 24th, but there would be a lot less people going to the Penny Arcade Expo if Halo2 came out three days earlier, everyone would be home playing it ( :

that was supposed to be a response to someone a few posts earlier (I just fixed it)... I forgot to qoute them. The point is that PAX has a playable exibit of halo2 for anyone who comes to Washington on the 28th... why would they have a special preview of only Zanzibar if Halo2 comes out four days earlier, no one would go to PAX

Maybe it's revenge for Frankie getting flamed so bad when he put the weekly update on the Penny Arcade forums.

It's not like something like that hasnt been done before. As i said earlier Playable demo's of games that have already been released are always showcased at E3. The Biggest Gaming Convention.

And PAX isnt even that big. So its more of an incentive for people to buy Halo 2 and see how great it is.

I'm just saying that a lot of us will be playing halo2 constantly for about a week, I think PAX would lose a lot of attendence if Halo2 came out on the 24th. That's why I think it might go gold then. Washington is far away even for me... and I live in California
