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!

I'm getting really freaking fed up with the freakin delays i mean what the freak. I understand that they're doing there best but unless they're positive it's coming out, why post a release date? I love you guys at bungie but stop toying with my emotions like this.

1. Bungie never announced a release date prior to this one, so Halo 2 hasn't been delayed. Last spring they said "not til 2004" and now they've made it more specific, "Fall 2004". That is not a delay unless you've been listening to unfounded rumors, or worse, retail outlets.

2. Bungie has never announced or even mentioned a Halo 2 playable demo, so there's no reason to believe that the delay (which does not exist) is caused by a playable demo (that does not exist).

Its sounds great if they did but Bungie is very secretive as to Halo 2 and probably wants to give full not some 1/2 assed version of a great game.

Anonymous's picture

I think they should because they always make a date and then move it back when it gets here. For all the teaseing they've they should let us have a little glispe of what it going to be like(which its going to be awesome).

I have been reading all of these comments, and most of you are right. WE ARE NOT REALEASING A DEMO UNTIL AFTER THE GAME SHIPS. You've heard it from Bungie. Now quit whining!

In reply to: NOVEMBER 9th IS AN OUTRAGEOUS RELEASE DATE

I mean whats the point of getting a demo? You get a feel of the game and it'll spoil the game, as you already know what its like...
Bungie didn't bring out a demo of the pc version of Halo so why do you think they'll give you a demo now? The original is mad I have to agree but having a demo will ruin the game....I'd much rather wait a couple of months for the game and get the full experience

Yeah, Frankie does the Halo 2 Weekly Updates for them, like Matt Soell did the ones for the first game.

http://rampancy.net/halo2updates

I have a feeling that any time spend preparing a playable Halo 2 demo for another Xbox disc would just detract from getting Halo 2 done. And it's not as if they need a demo like that to sell the game-- it's going to fly off the shelves all by itself.

it is not the demo but the pre released version of halo 2 given to those who work at microsoft(programmers e.t.c.)who want a copy of it. Bungie are still upgrading the graphics now for the proper version of it. It is set to be released on november 9 04. I speak as member of microsoft and just thought i would give you an idea.
FOR MOVIES OF HALO 2 VISIT IGN.COM AND SEARCH HALO 2.CLICK VIDEOS AND THEERRE ARE A FEW VIDEOS OF THE PRE RELEASED VERSION OF IT.

In all honesty I don't want a playable demo. Not just now anyway. If I did get one I know for a fact I would just sit and play it all the time. Then when Halo 2 came out I would be bored with that part of the level.

I'm happy enough just sitting here and waiting for the game to be released and each week getting a little update from Frankie to tide me over ^_^

Come on, I've been waiting too long for Halo just so they can push it back another five months! At least have a test of the game to hold me over until Halo ACTUALLY comes out!

Halo 2 will be released when bungie is good and ready. If they weren't taking the time to read posts by halo addicts like us they would be finishing the game faster. Am i right so just leave em alone and we get halo 2 faster. Besides if they give us a demo it would ruin some of the secrets of Halo 2's plot and character/vehicle additions

To sorta cool all of us Halo fans out there i will inform, no tell u why they have not released the Halo 2 game or dmo out yet. It is simple. As is every other big buisness or any buisness they r trying to make as much money as they possibly can. Right now they r trying to make money on Halo for PC and Mac. They know they will make a fortune on Halo 2 and they know everyone will buy it so they r trying to sell as many Halo for PCand Mac as they can. And once sales start to fall in the PC and Mac versions of Halo they will release Halo 2 or the demo for Halo 2 then the game. They r done with Halo 2 and if anything they r making the demo as u read this. And alos as u read this they r mass producing Halo 2 games and storing them that way they will be ready to be shipped in the billions or trillions or whatever the amount is becasue already their are millions of reservations for Halo 2 (so if i was u go to a place that is reserving Halo 2 before they stop. i know ill be one of the 1st million people to get Halo 2. places that would be reserving Halo 2 would be places like GameStop, FuncoLand, or any small (size meaning) video game store to reserve yours now).

i think this guy is 100% correct. Big buisness today love money. and theyll keep u waiting for a game they know ull buy 4 as long as they can makin the money off of the Pc version.
how i think this review is: :)
y they keepin Halo 2 so long: :(

narcogen's picture

In reply to: i think this guy is 100% corr

For those who just have to see conspiracy in everything, sure, look at it that way if you like. Myself, I find nothing unbelievable about the game taking this long to make.

Worst case scenario, if this was true, it still makes no sense, as a Halo 2 demo would most likely NOT impact PC Halo sales. Secondly, as PC and Mac Halo involve parties other than Bungie/Microsoft, I'll wager their cut of each sale on that is less than on Xbox Halo or Xbox Halo 2, so there'd be little incentive.

If anything, I'm sure MS wanted it out earlier to help sell more Xboxes and so that Bungie will be ready to do an Xbox 2 launch title.

ok fuckers, heres the deal, Halo 2 is highly anticipated, chances are it won't be that long of a game, just like Halo. IF they made a Halo 2 demo, it would suck ASS cause that would be like half the game, you're going to be so excited about Halo 2, you're gonna get a free Halo 2 demo disc, you're gonna play it, and when you buy the full game, YOU'LL HATE THAT YOU ALREADY PLAYED ONE OF THE MISSIONS AND WASTED HALF YOUR TIME PLAYING THAT GOD DAMN DEMO THAT SUCKED, Bungie will release Halo 2, not Halo 2 demo, that would be the smart thing, they would get mor sales that way. God, people these days, they're so STUPID.

Guys, think of it this way, Halo 2 will kick ass the longer it takes, would you rather have had it released earlier and been the shittiest game ever? or wait for the excitment to rise and have it be the coolest of all games? I mean come on, just be patient. HALO 2 WILL COME OUT, AND WHEN IT DOES, IT WILL BE AWESOME

We cant be patient. Doctors need patients not us i want the game to be the best but everyone already knows that its going to be no matter how bad it is Xbox was made because of Halo so if they are going to make a Halo 2 Everyone knows that its going to be tight.

Bungie will NOT send a demo. Halo didnt hav playable demo, why #2. Anyway, they said millions of time- it wont be out until its out.

[quote=Payne]Bungie will NOT send a demo. Halo didnt hav playable demo, why #2. Anyway, they said millions of time- it wont be out until its out.[/quote]

Well, there was no playable Halo demo for a very simple reason-- as Halo was a launch title, there were no Xboxes to play a demo version on prior to the full game's release. And after the full game was released, it was clearly the #1 seller on the Xbox, so there was no need to release a demo to improve sales.

Theoretically Halo 2 could have a playable demo, as there are Xboxes out there and other games being released that could have a Halo 2 demo on its disc. However, I suspect MS feels the game will sell well enough without a demo, and therefore there's no reason to burden Bungie with preparing one.

That's the video of last year's E3 realtime demo. Most of this thread is talking about the possibility of a playable demo. Personally I don't think there'll be one. No need, really.
