this would just slow down the release of the game. would that make you happy? also, if they dont give us any photage or demos, then that will increase the hype of the game, thus increasing sales.
um....well thats true to an extent. look at oblivion. It had tons of hype early on.....then came the long time period of no footage (yes thats how you spell it) and eventually more and more people started to loose interest in it. Than close to release the were somehow able to save themselves but, theres no guarantee it would happen again. Sure this is halo 3 which is more anticipated but that doesn't mean it will always keep people interested if its kept secret. in the long run it could decrease hype/sales.
Maybe thats because Oblivion sucked ass...Halo 3 will sell itself thats obvious, they dont even need to advertise it, thats why Halo 2 sold $125Million worth in the first 24 hours breaking any and all video game and movie opening WEEKEND records in just one day. The hype is there, Bungie just needs to spend all their effort making the game itself as awesome as possible and will generate its own hype.
