They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Does no one understand that they said "No Public Beta" on the last Friday update?
You must be new to the Bungie forums, filled with people that don't read anything.

I did read. It said "don't hold your breath. There are currently no plans for a demo."

Does that mean there will not be a demo? No, it does not.
Yes it does. Seeing as how Bungie has stated many times that they do not release demos for their games. And seeing as how they haven't released demos for any games ever, it's stupid to think they'll start now.

But they made a demo for marathon and thats made by bungie.
so wat now! AAAAAAHHHHHHH SNAAAAAAP!

Wow, not only can you not quote correctly, you also can't spell correctly.

Let me put this in the simplest words I can think of.
There will NOT be ANY form of a DEMO for HALO 3:ODST.

Bungie has never released a demo for a console game and never will. It's part of their policy of not releasing any info on the plot of their games to increase hype.

A firefight beta would be sweet. Would really love to see it in action.

Man..... Imagine that would be fantastic. But as they told us.. don't hold your breath.

Actually, by all means do hold your breath, that way you'll pass out and stop complaining for a few hours ;)

Hahaha, I kid, I kid.

Not to totally rain on your undoubtedly major victory over the forces of stupidity, but you're talking about a game made, what, ten years ago? More? And it was on something nobody in the gaming world gave a rat's ass about and still don't. Ten years for policies to change.

You see, at this point, Bungie doesn't need to release demos, especially if it's a Halo game, regardless of how mediocre or flat out bad it actually is (case in point: Halo Wars). Just by announcing a Halo game and showing the best the game has, they can generate all the hype they need to ensure massive sales. Release a trailer and a few tidbits of info carefully spun to sound like Bungie is handing out golden nuggets every so often, and fans will stampede each other to get it and delude themselves into thinking they got everything they paid for. A few weeks later, when all the euphoria dies down, fans will largely see what they really got: something competent. It works, it does everything it should, but it doesn't do it with any particular flair or panache (case in point: Halo 3).

How does all that relate to Bungie releasing a demo for ODST on Bungie Day? They won't. They don't need to. There's enough hype now that they can just ride it to September and focus on perfecting the game/ Reach Beta. They will, of course, give us something. I'm willing to bet it'll be an ODST theme/gamerpics, some new gameplay footage, Dare getting shot in the face, MAYBE a new map (though unlikely).

If I am wrong, of course, and we do get a demo, then I will devour my feet and replace them with prosthetic Sangheili hooves.


Ok, I found fault with two of your points:
Firstly, Marathon was a great game and is regarded by many to be a brilliant classic, including myself.
Secondly, Halo Wars was not created by Bungie, and they did bring out a demo for it anyway.
Other than that, I agreed with everything you said. Bungie has enough hype to have everyone hooked. Just because it's a Halo game, it will sell, although i'm not denying that it looks pretty good.

I want a demo of the Campaign & Firefight on Bungie Day. But, knowing that's asking too much, I'll be fine with just Firefight.

Bungie, it'll be cool of you guys, and it might shut some haters up.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

When did they say no Firefight demo? I don't recall.
I believe one of the new updates, or an interview at E3. Either way, I know they won't give us Blood Gulch, but that was the best map they ever made, and leaving it out was a dumb-ass move, and I hope maybe Longshore is a remake of it on a different weather setting or location maybe. Beach-Coag? Please Bungle! Right your big-wrong!
Heeeeeyyyyyy RvB Rocks95 It's me remember? I was from your "Why must you contain us when you don't want to be contained?" Thread. Remember me? *Back to Topic: That would be awsome!!! I hope that happens!

Personally, I would rather have more info about Halo:Reach

PPPPPP--POWER!

A nice thought but it isn't going to happen. Like they said in the past with other games, would you rather have a demo or a very complete, well polished, TIMELY finished product?

this is only my bungie profile, not my actual gaming profile. I am not a noob.


No I did not trip, I attacked the floor with my awesome NINJA SKILLS!!!!

I can't believe it's almost that time again... It seems like only a couple of months ago we got Cold Storage for free on Bungie Day..

Oh yeah, that's right, we got Cold Storage last year! A YEAR has gone by since then and that map is already a year old? That's AMAZING, it certainly doesn't feel that long, that's for sure, where does time go!?

But that would be a cool demo...
I'm hoping for a good Podcast that explains Halo: Reach in more detail and maybe a little more info about Halo 3: ODST if there is much more they can say!
