November the 9th. Day after my brothers birthday. Which means I'd have an excuse to buy it... if it wasn't for the fact i dont need an excuse XD
And why get it *him* when I can get it for *me*?
Sometimes it pays to be selfish...

i'm throwing my lot in with the beggars. I know you guys at bungie have said no demo before game release, but i don't think you realize what torment you are putting us through. the things I saw at e3 were increadible so i'm sincerly beggin for a demo. Please bungie, for the love you bare your fans, give us this small comfort to hold us over till nov. 9th.

P.S. thanks Frankie

Great Game! Great Game, that one level was surprising. Its the graphics that I'm disapointed about, they were definetly not the fantastic part of this Great Game. They Have the game done, make it better. graphics is a huge part of making a good game

In that page of info it said that vehicular units(what i call cars trucks and things that go moo) can be destroyed in multiplayer but can you just turn it off cuz i dont want my things to explode all the time somtimes i like to drop them from high places and watch them fly over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again and again and again and again and again repetativly. so can you set it to go either falllllllllll boom or fallllllllllllll crunch?
dont know if you have said it earlier cuz i am just a lazy S.O.B. and i dont wanna read throgh 5 pages

Don't sweat it Mr Guileful. Sometimes when someone starts making us mad making them look like total fools by calling them a cuss word can be quite a treat.

I heard a rumor that there will be a demo of halo 2 coming out 5/23/04 or otherwise known as this monday! I heard which has been confimed by bungie that there will be a level on the moon with low gravity! And there will be another level where you get to go to the covenants hame planet! (remember, this is what i heard.)

i hope i've always loved sniping. but it'll be a good junction for cover fire on the way in reguardless. on a personal note: hey i'm open to getting a demo before the november 9th launch, but i'll take whatever comes. thank you bungie, for everything you've given us.

i think they should make a demo of the zanzibar level too for people who couldn't go to e3 or fanfest. Besides, if a select group of the public can play it, why not share it with the rest of the world too?

  • 05.22.2004 3:47 PM PDT

I totally agree on that!
besides putting out a single- or a multiplayer demo would mean lots of $$$$ to bungie, thousands of fans would be running to the store to buy it.

The best time to put out a demo would possibly be in june, cause june is the time when ppl have time to play!

  • 05.22.2004 4:30 PM PDT

exactly, theres alot of fans willing to sell an arm and a leg to just play it, im certain that it could be possible in OXM or something because ive seen an online demo for rainbow six. i think bungie should think about a demo (but they probably wont because it was just an alpha test and unfinished). oh well...

Most likely even so the demo is in alpha and most likely unfiltered. Which would mean that it would be really choppy or otherwise unplayable. Doom 3's illegal beta was unfiltered and i mean sure it looked great but it was really choppy. Playable but not fun.

They might have a demo, they let one out when the game is out. So ppl who don't like halo can try out the demo. Anyway, is Zanzibar just one level, cuz it looks really big?

  • 05.22.2004 7:00 PM PDT

Bungie should defnitly try and get a demo out there before the street date. single player, multiplayer, whatever...the only thing it can do is create more of a fervor (sp?) for halo 2. essentially, it will do nothing bad, it will spread awareness of halo 2 (though, i don't know one xbox owner who isn't aware of it) and will just increase sales all around plus make millions of bungie fans that much orgasmically happier that they can try it out before november 9th. i bet there had to have been one person who got to play zanzibar at e3 or at some other point, and they could really care less about halo, they were probably just some industry douche; i know a hundred people who would've ran down the street naked and on fire just to go to e3 and play halo 2. i know bungie does a -blam!--ton of stuff for their fans and they're one of the coolest group of people for that fact. and up until this point they've done wonderful to give the fans what they want; so all i'm saying is: why not just go one step more? why not get a demo out around september or october. i bet oxm wouldn't mind putting it on their dvd, -blam!- i bet it'd be the best selling issue of their mag ever... just my view on the situation...

Please, everyone settle down, a demo disc would cheapen the Halo 2 experience. If Bungie were to release a demo disc they would be just like EA Games, the worst game company in the history of gaming itself!

great map who shows the graphic & gameplay quality of halo 2 engine. GOOD JOB. I too think there should be a playable demo of the map that way you could drag attention to customers for them to buy the game. FRANKIE, THERE SHOULD BE HALO 2 FOR PC ALSO, THINK ABOUT IT. HALO 2 ROCKS IS BEST GAME EVER.

You idiot.
Don't you realise that the halo 1 for PC came out long after halo 1 came out for Xbox. they are pobably gona do Halo 2 fo PC as well but not just yet. sheesh give them a chance. they haven't made the whole game yet! besides, they wouldn't miss the chance to earn all that dosh from the PC gamers out there.

OK back on subject, Frankie why are you sitting there telling us about this when you could be sneeking into the area on the hard drives where all this is kept, downloading it to a disk and selling it for thousands! you would be a very rich man in a very short space of time and you would satisfy the evil soldier inside my head that keeps saying "killlll killll covie muuuusssst diiiieee! kiiilllll!!!!"
or you could give me a lecture on morals and trust blah blah blah!
or i could go kill my friend again on halo 1 that might do the trick for a while

MMMMYYYYY BBBRRRRAAIIIINN IIISS FFFAAALLLLIIIINNNNGGGG AAAAPPPPAAARRRTTTT PPPLLLSSS SSSSPPPEEEEEEDDD UUUPPPP TTTTIIIIMMMMEEE!!!!!!!

HALO 2 shall be mine i shall complete it and i shall destroy the covenant then halo 3 (maybe) shall be mine and i shall still not be satisfied.

Xbox live 32 players would be very interesting.... yes..... eeexxxttremally interesting! dips on the bestest weapon

i know this post is long and you hate me for it but we hate bungie for postponning the release date and continuing our aggooonnnnyyyy!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg gggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
the pain!

No it wont, if the demo is just of the level zanzibar, it would kick @ss. You don't have to get it if you dont want it.

Yes i dont want it to turn into another cheap game where everyone plays the demo instead of buying the game. Also...it really isnt that hard to snipe. Blood gulch and any other level i can easy win 25-10 or sometimes even 25-2. They should make the game harder. After legendary it should be hardcore.
