We're pretty sure they'll have a playable version of the game at E3, my guess is one for single player and one for multiplayer (probably a LAN, and if Microsoft has its way, 16 players). All that being said, and Halo 2 being about a half a year away, do you think there is any chance that there will be a Halo 2 playable demo for us normal folk?

Back during the rumors about Halo 2 coming out on Black Friday last year, one I had heard sounded possible and it was that Bungie would allow Microsoft to release a playable demo that was Live compatible on a new line of Xboxes and intially only available for new Xbox owners, then later for a small price.

Although this rumor proved to be false, and Bungie wasn't as far in Halo 2 as everyone had hoped, do you think it's possible that they may release something this summer? My guess is it's extremely unlikely, but possible. What do you think?

Bungie wont release a demo for Halo 2 until after it releases. Although they never said anything about E3...

Well they said they wont release a playable demo. Such as one in OXM. But they could let people play through a level at E3 for a while. But I really doubt it. They want to get everyone excitied about Halo 2 then release it so they get more sales.
