I can see wherre you are coming from, but they might be thinking that a demo will spoil the fun. If you get to playing that, then you might not be as satisified from the campaign because you will already know how the Halo 2 engine works, and it just shouldn't be done.

Don't get me wrong. I wish I could play it too, but we'll have to wait for the game. Its not too far away anyways.

Bungie,

I still firmly believe you should release a Halo 2 demo for Xbox Official Magazine or some other magazine to release. Nothing major, though. All I request is one multiplayer map on Slayer. I don't NEED Live-enabled demos, so don't worry about that. I know you have said in the past that you don't have time to make a demo, but you have a lot of free time right now, and it can't be THAT hard to copy a single map and a single gametype, can it? CAN IT? As much as I am grateful for your hard work on this upcoming game, I still believe a demo would be nice. After all, we the fans made you guys what you are today.

A Fan

Amazing! Less than a week ago, you posted another "letter to Bungie" asking for the same thing. Many people replied, but you never posted back to it. That previous topic is [color=white ]here.[/color]

Did you not look for your previous request? Did you forget that you had already asked? Was it too much effort to go back 6 days in The Underground? (only took me a minute and that's when I discovered it was you that's made BOTH topics) Did you not like what the responses were? I can't think of why you would post and then not check back for replies.

In case you haven't looked back at your previous topic, I'm including my response below, as I think that it is still valid.

(what follows is merely another fan's opinion)

The only reason that any software company offers a "demo" is to show their product to people who;

* Don't know about their product.
* Know about the product, but are "on the fence" about making the purchase.
* To convince people who are too cheap to spend the money on the product to at least "try it" and see if they like it.
* For fans of their product to give out to the "unconverted" in the hopes of changing their minds.

I for one am buying the game! (in less than a month) Are you not? If so, which of the above best describes you?

Or are you just posting and then looking/waiting for an announcement of the release of a H2 Demo? If so, don't hold your breath, and please... don't repost the exact same thing over and over. Especially if you don't participate in the topics that you start.


*ahem*

Good Coffee, Recon?

I'm certifiable.

Dunno about the "never will be", but there is no demo now. Nor will there be one before November 9th. (The office is kinda empty now, ain't it?)

So kick back, watch the promotion stuff coming out, and while away the three short weeks until release doing something more worthwhile and less stressful than making demands of an empty office. And RELAX, for Pete's sake. Don't give yourself a heart attack and miss the launch.

-- Steve's still working on some Halo Zen koans... nothing worthwhile done yet. ("What is the sound of one Grunt fleeing?" Nah...)

ps- Not until the game is out. And even then, don't count on the demo being multiplayer.

I must admit... Shishka speaks many of our minds, and he does so well. Those crazy Bungie Ninjas with their psychic powers.... :-P

You are STILL ragging on my long winded posts, aren't you? *grin*

See? I can do 'em short. But where oh where is the fun and finger exercise in that? And before you make the obvious response, I have your finger exercise... right here! *wink*


I know I'm number one baby!
