actually, you replied "do this" to a question where you're supposed to reply "yes/no".
and no. there has never been demos for a fps halo game.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

No there wasn't a Halo 3 demo, there isn't gonna be a ODST demo and no there won't be a Reach demo.

(before flamage realise I'm talking strictly of online xbox demos and not of betas or the GAMESTOP demo truck.)

I suppose we should define demo as the campaign and beta as the multiplayer?

technically,
a demo showcases the game.
a beta is giving a few people a part of the game so they find glitches and the devs get feedback.

when you stick to that definition, the only demo was for Halo Wars.

My definition is more practical!

No because a demo is short for demonstration, and an effective demonstration would be a section of the final game and Betas are not at there finalized builds.

Also it's very possible for games to come out with a online multiplayer demo and a campaign demo.

GTFO. These are forums, not grammar and technical writing classes. And ty to all the people who continued to post even though the question of the thread was already answered =).

"Prepare For The Worst, Hope For The Best."

There is a sheet in the ODST Game Box, that has a picture of Reach being Glassed, with the silhouettes of some Spartans and some ODST. It then says

"From the beginning
You know the end"

HALO
Reach
Multiplayer BETA
Invintation Included
With HALO 3: ODST
- See HALO.XBOX.com -
- Xbox 360 Hard Drive -
- Xbox LIVE Gold Membership -
- REQUIRED -

The words above are on the picture of Reach. And may I point out the part where it says "MULTIPLAYER BETA!!!".

The big guys doesn't do demos.

Yes, and I know how to access it. You have to put a copy of Halo 3 or Halo ODST in the disk tray upside down. I know, it sounds stupid but trust me! When it says it can't read the disk press and hold RB and X. You have to put in your information then you start the Reach demo! Not very many people know about it, but now you do!
