Everyone is still arguing, thinking Halo 2 will be released early, saying there will be a Demo or add-ons for Halo: CE.. let me see if I can put things into perspective. The only thing happening on August 24th is the Holiday Preview Issue of OXM is going to be released, this will undoubtably be full of Halo 2 information since Halo will be released near the Holiday season. Bungie wants us to believe that ilovebees.com is tying into the story line for Halo 2, just to confuse us. Each date was something important. I'm not sure about the last two countdown dates, but I have a feeling that OXM was sent a copy of Halo 2 to review/preview on the 10th or earlier. I don't know if Halo 2 is finished but it has to be near completion, and I am sure almost all of the things they are going to add are already in. Nothing BIG happened on the previous two countdown days, or did they? Nothing big we know about happened, but there is no telling what Bungie is hiding.
Is August 24th gonna change our lives for good? No.. Are we going to be able to play Halo 2 at all on August 24th? No... BUT we are going to find out a lot more that we all are wandering about. Such as how many maps will be in the game, if the pistol is in, what kinda new weapons there is.. and other secrets Bungie has kept. Why does it say wide awake and physical? Simple.. because everyone's eyes will finally be opened to what Bungie has been doing. Of course all of the information we want to know is going to come out towards the end of August and during September, I mean Halo 2 is only 3 months away people... it's about that time.
In conclusion, there is NO demo, NO early release, and all of the detail at the ilovebees.com site is simply a hint at a story line, I don't believe this and the countdowns are completely related. On the 24th a magazine with the first real info on Halo 2 will be released, which is a great thing.. but that's all that will happen. I mean seriously people, what did Frankie say? Ok then.. why keep asking questions?
Oh yeah want confirmation that every detail for Halo 2 will be released, look here:
OXM Cover
They discuss the possibility of a demo but there won't be a demo I am sure, Frankie said there won't be plus it's highly unlikely a demo would come out that long before the actual game. It's the zine, it'll tell everything you wanna know about Halo 2, our eyes will be opened, that IS the ANSWER.
