No demo will be released. At all. And you're talking about the wrong issue. It's going to be released August 24th, and it's the October issue.

If I remember correctly the Halo 2 information is supposed to be coming in the Official Xbox Magazine aka OXM not XBN. It is supposed to hit stores August 24th but subscribers get it early.

well, still, microsoft will keep it back until after the release date. they want to keep the suspense at an all time high. my guess.

Look, they're not gonna keep an issue back. People were promised it would be released on the 24th, so it will be.

Actually, for all of you that think it is the October issue of OXM that contains all the new Halo 2 info, you are wrong. It is the Holiday 2004 issue, the special issue apart from the regular monthly issues, that has the Halo 2 sneek peek.

Ok here is how it all works. OXM is releasing a special holiday edition on August 24th. The bad news is that as subscribers we won't get it. We will have to go to the news stands and buy it. That is the issue that will have all the Halo 2 info in it. But there will be no demo.

Yes, that is the way it works. I had to do that last year for the Holiday 2003 issue.

Well, there will not be a demo BEFORE H2. However, most likely there will be a demo NOV 9 or after the release of H2. The demo is for the idiots who didnt buy the game. So with the demo, they can get a chance to see how BRILLIANT it really is and go buy it. Its like a sales gimmick to get more buyers//
