Where do you all get the information that there will not be a demo?
There are two major reasons, to which, why developer put up demo's/beta's.
The first reason is to, give people a good preview to a completely new game in a new franchise. Most people hesitate to buy games which no one knowns about, unlike the Halo franchise, where everyone would buy a Halo game, at the sound of Halo.
The second reason, is to test the multiplayer, as multiplayer can exceed a vast amount of errors, and the only way to truly, completely find a lot of bugs, and glitches, is to get a large audience to play countless of numbers of games, until these bugs come up. Developers' beta testers only play like 100 games, obviously they won't find much.
No developer, put's up a beta as a "gift" to the customers, as that would cost money and whatnot. Bungie has enough ground upon their franchise to not need a beta/demo, and ODST doesn't have it's own multiplayer, therefore it would be an unethical descision to put up a beta.
