so now its 100% sure there will be no playable demo out, what would be cool enough to hype this much? screen shots wouldnt do it so im thinking maybee a new book leading up to events in halo2. perhaps it would only be available at the new bungie store mentioned in the update?

I think Bungie employee's got too obsessed with their power to manipulate our minds and make us think Halo 2 was coming out so they kept it going, but in reality, it's not and these threads should just die off, it's all a bunch of info, nothing good like a demo.

All it will be is a big OXM preview and A lot of screens and maybe some videos. We caused the hype not bungie, its our fault for making it so big.

Yes, we caused the hype. I agree entirely with that statement.

However.

You cant tell me that Bungie, with all their advertising experience and video gamer expertise did not foresee something like this happening. You put a damn 'secret' website at the end of a huge movie preview, make a 'hacked' site with a countdown and are SURPRISED when rumors arise that the countdown leads to a new release date???

Give me an f-ing break.

I liked the website idea, it brought up a lot of new story elements and arguments and things to talk about while we wait. But to have a countdown such as it is and NOT disprove any of the swelling beliefs and rumors for weeks, then be surprised and upset that so many people are still posting about it and are angered by it...

Bungie, I love you, but that's Bull.
