I understand exactly what you're saying, but let me try putting it in this perspective:


THERE IS NO DEMO COMING OUT ON THE 24TH!!! It's been categorically denied as a possibility from anyone with authority to say so!!!

I hope that has helped. Thanks.

[XGameFusion]

of course they'd deny it... it would be contradictory to the ARG.
what if they confirmed it? what implications would that have on the ARG?

Halo 2 comes out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK. It does NOT come out on Aug 24th. You know what does come out on Aug. 24th? Some OXM special which does NOT, and I repeat does NOT have a Halo 2 demo on it. No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum. But to reiterate, Halo 2 comes out Nov. 9th or Nov.11th for the UK.

that's frankie's statement.... if you wanted to get really picky and play semanitcs, you could break his statement down to mean that there will be no halo 2 demo ON THE MAGAZINE ITSELF. he says nothing about the impossibility of being packaged alongside it.... or, if you still like being picky, he says Aug 24th ???? what year? aug 24 2005? 2019?

i know it's a stretch, but i'm trying to be open minded about it... give suggestions... play the game..... SPEC

one other thing to think about... i remember this much from logic class, and learning the rules of logical debate... freddie says "No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum. "

that is a lie. he knows exactly how it came to be. if frankie has lied about one thing, then from a logic standpoint any other statement he makes can hold NO validity. anything he says now is considered a mis-statement, until proven otherwise. freddie is a source of misinformation.

Logically, frankie is not to be trusted.



besides, who says that anything "frankie" says, or anything posted by OXM is "IN GAME"????

Ok, well, feel free to believe whatever you want. All spec is fine and dandy in my opinion. However, when you are eagerly waiting for your demo of Halo2, I will be actually playing the game, getting ready for the real game set for the 9th of November. I'm not trying to be really harsh here, just I hate it when an obvious untruth is told... And this is one of those.

And from one who doesnt own an xbox and has absolutely no interest in halo2, the REAL game is Haunted apiary which endengers a great sense of community and enjoyment on here. DSo if no H2 referecnes, I will be happy as a clam anyways. Methinks that whatever we get on the 24th has nothing to do with h2, but with ha. Woohoo!

One more nail in the coffin... a ton of kids (it appears) have gotten their OXM issue and no demo disc and old Halo 2 info in their eyes.. they are out for blood... amazing how a little marketing works.. on to the next theory.. OXM is not the answer

[XGameFusion]

not the Holiday Addition OXM... that isn't released until the 8/24

i got my september issue of OXM, and it came with a disc and NO new h2 info...

where did you get that information?

[MrToasty]

[Venomai]

Maybe it will have some info on ilovebees.com.. That would be awesome

But yes, for those still wondering, its true. Buy the newest copy of OXM yourself and flip to the last few pages, you'll see an add for it, exactly the same.

No one said if there was a demo release that it would HAVE to be through OXM... I remember getting several free demos for "metal arms", "ghost recon island thunder" etc... off of the counter at EB... they could very well possibly mail out copies of the H2 demo to any and every game store under the sun. Frankie and Ryan both said the magazine wouldn't contain a demo... but i dont think that they totally ruled out the possibility of a demo all together....

just more spec.....

I'm getting a real kick out of the dudes who are getting all pissy and typing in real big red letters, hoopin' and hollerin' like they have any more idea about what's going to happen on Tuesday then anybody else. You know just as much as everyone else, and that info just happens to be exactly what bungie and M$ have fed you. Your spec isn't any wiser or more factual then anyone elses. You don't have privledged information allowing you to state as fact. M$ isn't doing all of this for and giggles so that all us ARG nerds can get our rocks off. There is a ryhme and reason.
I remember last week a bunch of you guys were hoopin' and hollerin' about how stupid of an idea it was to actually go to the GPS points and now it looks like that was the right idea from day one.
I wonder if M$ or bungie are sending all these kids out into the streets all day long all over the country so that they can laugh at us, or, hold the game presses....there might just be something in it for us.
I'm really interested in this ARG stuff but a lot of you guys act like kids and know it all snobs. Everyone wants to solve this thing, but I don't need somebody who who has just as little intel as i do putting me down or my ideas.
I'm not sure if the game is coming out early. I'm about 70/30 that it's not but so far i have not seen one thing that can't be undone or revised allowing the people making the game to do what ever the hell they want with the release date. In fact most of the information I've found states that it is totally possible. The only timeline we have is from bungie and m$. Both of which like to mess with their customers to draw attention to their products. i.e. WIN95 and just about all other Bungie games. When i flip over to ilb(a product of M$ and Bungie) i see a big black time counter which will end on Tuesday. Maybe it's just the begining or it could be the end of all this skawbaling. I doubt it.
