See the SR news story, haven't had time to search the net yet and find where SR's staffie found the anagram answer but a post on bungie.net [URL]http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=392970[/URL] seems to suggest it originates from IGN Forum.
IGN Forum has a supposed scan of an advert in the US OXM for a special edition holiday mag [URL]http://www.wgpimagehost.com/pbpics/mag.jpg[/URL] - if real then it leads onto whether the new UK OXM will be doing a similar issue because we don't get our next OXM until the 17th I think.
Personally I think the magazine ad scan is genuine - if it was not I would expect it to be a much smaller picture, and including a demo would certianly help shift that mag by the bucketful... though I wouldn't be surprised if GAME for example gets a deal also what with them being buddies with MS.
ON another note the ilovebees.com website has many many new changes and additions, including more passages from the Fall Of Reach novel - so far I noticed the bit where one of the outer listening posts detects the covenant.
So, thoughts/info on the possible demo?
And if OXM had the HALO 2 demo, I'll be rushing straight out to Spar or whever to get it, oh yes.
Or he's pitched up a tent outside the local newsagent already - just to get the first issue...
> well i'll be looking out for OXM on 24th August
Unless you live in the US you'll be wasting your time y'know...at least until OXM UK mentions it. Nothing says that, assuming the mag is real, that the thing with it is Halo 2 demo - it's just the dates coincide, which makes everyone assume...
On another note, whoever did the marketing plan for this has done a fantastic job - for the price of a website they've really whipped up the interest in the game.
:D
