Halo 2 demo

I'm sure Bungie is getting flogged by emails requesting this, but wouldn't it be cool if they could release a playable Halo 2 demo? Upon reading the February 2004 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, I learned that one of their employees, Frank O'Connor, now works at Bungie Studios. (lucky bastard!) So I was thinking that maybe they could put a playable Halo 2 demo (perhaps of the E3 demo video?) on one of the upcoming disks. I'm sure the people at Bungie read this, so perhaps if there is a huge demand for a playable demo, they might release one. Please share your thoughts on this, and let your voice be heard!

If any of you had bothered to read the halo books you would have known that Master Chief is white. And even if you didn't, the Master chiefs voice doesn't exactly sound black does it?

omg READ THE BOOKS!!!!

In reply to: Read the post... Sun, 08/01/2004 - 21:08

this is comeing from an absesed kid ive read all 3 books in about a week. The ceif is WHITE!!!! they started traning the spartans before the coveniet were ever discovered. They stared with 75 6 year old kids. The MasterChief whos name is actuly John, became the leader of the spartans with his leadership skills. There was a horrable accident in training and half of the spartans died. they have been thining out ever since. one dieing here and there. John isnt the only one left even during his battle on halo. he meats up with the others later (after halo and after the game)(this will not be in halo 2 ether). SO SPARTAN 117, JOHN, and later MASTER CHEIF (all the same person) IS WHITE, HE LOOKS LIKE A FREEK WITHOUT HIS SUIT READ THE BOOKS LOSERS

Do you know what kind of sells would come out of the demo alone people want to play what's in the future. And you might be afraid of risk well man just ask CNN and Bill Gates they should know that risk can make you famous and rich. So be the hero's in everyone's eyes and give us a playable demo

I think that is the craziest thing I have ever heard. First off, it would ruin the experience of finally playing Halo 2 and only getting some crappy demo. Halo 2 is even cooler because there won't be a demo. If you can't get the demo it would be unfair. I think Bungie is smart not to release a Halo 2 demo.

Demos are for games that "just might be good, but i want to be sure that it's good b4 i buy it" kinda games. We all know that Halo 2 will be AWSOME, hence there is no reason for a demo.

i beleave that they should have a demo for people to see if they want to actually buy the game that is why they make one

It would great if a demo came

Mon, 06/14/2004 - 22:29

It would great if a demo came out to give a taste of what is to come. More people would buy the game if they knew what it was like... Right? So it would be pratical to make a demo.

it would be nice if they came out with a demo

Mon, 07/12/2004 - 13:42

it would be nice if they came out with a demo because people who never played halo could try this halo2 demo and see how they like it and people who want to play halo2 real bad then we could play the same level over over till the game camed out (i would) and see how grapics and voices are and stuff like that so bungie if your reading this COME OUT WITH A DEMO.

ilovebees theory

Sun, 07/25/2004 - 17:16

I think that the Ilovebees mystery works on 2 levels. The first and most obvious to me is the marketing angle. Right now the internet is on fire with speculation about what it could be. Here's mine.
Marketing:

What do bees do? They generate buzz. Buzz being slang for interest in the marketing world. The Ilovebees site has generated HUGE buzz in only a few days.

What else do bees do? They make honey. Or in this case MONEY. We all know M$ is all about that.

Microsoft knows that Halo contributed more to the success of the xbox than any other game. They know that Halo was the reason why people went out and bought an xbox. Halo 2 is set to become THE killer app not only for the xbox but for XBOX LIVE. People that don't already have an xbox live account or an xbox will get one just to experience Halo 2. $$$$

The buzz is already at a fever pitch for the game. How do you make it bigger? I don't know about you but I'm all movied and screenshotted out. I'm ready to play just like those lucky bastards at E3. IF, a really big if, they realeased a demo. A single player one with no access to live play. Do think BUZZ for the game would go up or down. Most certainly up in my opinion. The first hit is always free right. After that you'll have to pay to play so to speak. People would see first hand how great the game is and specualte even more about how awesome multiplayer is.

A few of the gaming mags are in on it too. They all point to something huge coming up soon in the industry.

This brings me to the next important part of the marketing angle. The clock on the website is counting down to Aug 24, 2004. Bungie wouldn't go thru all this just to release another movie or screen shot. Not the Halo bible either, that would give to much of the story away. No they want to give people a small taste not the whole thing.

Countdown timer text:
HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE(nothing)

Control has been yielded to the
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX.(first letter of each word SPDR)

This medium is classified, and has a
STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION. (If this is a demo it will spread like a virus)

In 3 days, network throttling will erode.(speed will increase, not slow down)

In 17 days this medium will metastasize.( there will be another site like this in 17days)

COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:(playable version of game)
30:12:32:23:040

Make your decisions accordingly.(go to work/school or play Halo2)

Someone pointed out that someone from a game mag said to focus on SPDR. SPDR does figure prominetly in the blog by Dana(bungie princess?). SPDR=Single Player Demo Release.

ilovebeestheory pt 2

In reply to: ilovebees theory Mon, 07/26/2004 - 00:51

Ok heres the second part. Specifically the part that deals with the AI.

Source: Captured human AI. Human interface is female, it refers to itself in the feminine.

The AI makes refrence to here ship and crew: Length: 120m
Crew: 40
Cover: Pleasure Craft
In the novel Fall of Reach the MC and 2 other Spartan's had to board the Circumfrence to destroy a navigational database. The Circumfrence, Lark, and Applebee were all ONI ships outfitted for a covert operation that we never hear anything else about.

We also know that Col Ackerson (head of ONI) has his own agenda. What we don't know but it's important enough to get coverage in First Strike.

The AI knows it's behind the lines and captured. She still has a mission to perform. Survive Evade Reveal Escape.

She is always trying to establish here position with a solar compass or star alignment. She says she was a good celestial navigator.

She makes refrence to being operated on, taken apart and put back together. A Covenant engineer/AI would disassemble and reassemble her to better understand what it's dealing with. A single entity making multiple simultaneous probing attempts would seem like a spider to a delusional AI.

Our human AI knows she needs to hide she refrences Phasmida Elegans. But she also wants to be found. In the movie Master and Commander Phasmids are said to be insects that desguise themselves as sticks in order to hide from predators. Elegans appears to refrence a sort of worm.

The Spartans initial mission was to discover the covenant homeworld before the slipspace jump to halo.

My hypothesis: This AI is a trojan. Meant to be captured. Taken back to the Covenant homeworld in order to reveal it's posistion. Driving motivation:
Survive:Fighting to stay concious/coherent
Evade: Hiding; Phasmida Elegans
Reveal: Location of Covenant Homeworld
Escape: She's had it drilled into her that her "crew" will come get her. Extraction.

Seek the truth
Behold the truth
Reveal the truth

SPDR

In reply to: ilovebees theory Tue, 07/27/2004 - 15:19

I have noticed that the story about the little girl lost in enemy territory or whatever...mentions a "Spider". It says something about the spider's warning being put out. Well SPDR looks like SPIDER. That black countdown box could be the warning.

I dunno if that is anything but there's something to chew on.

I doubt they can put in 7 playable halos in one game AND be on earth. You would have to go through the whole process of destroying it again and would take too much disk space..

Nobody knows precisely if or when because Bungie hasn't said anything about it. In fact, the only thing they have said about a demo, is that they won't even think about a demo until after the full game is finished.

As for the email-- if you sign up for an account you can enable notifications, and then when we post on our front page that the demo is out, you'll get an email!
