I would have to pass up the demo because it would ruin the game but we dont have to worry Bungie wouldn't do something like that.

it should be a ONLINE MULTIPLAYER demo, NOTHING to do with the campaign

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”

i dont think there should be a demo on live because the moment where you finally get HALO 3 in your hands is going to be godly and should be saved for when the full game comes out, a demonstration like the E3 halo 2 one would be fine to watch though

if they DID make a demo....i would only play it if it was on some scrap level that wasnt in the actual game so as not to give away the plot and it would have to be short and leave me wanting more

I doubt they would either but I was just curious. I'm surprised at the way the votes are going. I onlyhad campaign in mind not multiplayer.

  • 05.12.2006 1:24 PM PDT

I want to know if its like Halo 1 or 2.

I would if they did but i hope they don't. I'd rather them focus their resources on the final game.

I would if it was either only multiplayer or multiplayer and some split-screen thing with bots in it just to practice for when you go online in the demo.

I'd only play it if it was a either a multiplayer only or just test map with some AI but not any story line. just make up some objectives and a map with AI.

u don't understand what's the purpos of demos they're supposed to introduce the game and give u an idea if u want to buy it or not and i don't think u need to think for one second about buying it plus halo3 doesn't need reputation

Just like 90% of the peolpe that have posted. I would if it was a multiplayer map that shows of the graphics and new gameplay mechinacs (spelling) if any. That way it won't give away ANYTHING of the story. In which the story should remain secret as the story is the real reason why I brought Halo CE and Halo 2.

Your wright demos are basicly there to show of the game and are basicaly publicity for the game. Jugdeing by the reaction of the teaser for Halo 3. This just game might not need any publicity at all. All bungie need to do is realise trailers here and there to keep our mouths watered untill the time comes.

What an idodic question I think anyone posting on this web site will play the demo HOW DUMB

  • 05.12.2006 1:50 PM PDT

Of course I'd play it if it was available. But I'm hoping Bungie has enough self restraint to keep a tight lid on it till release day. It's more fun that way for a game as highly anticipated as this.

On Halo 2 launch day, me and my housemate both pulled in the driveway at the same time, both with copies of Halo 2 in hand, and beat each other up to be the first in the door and hence claim the captains chair and the Xbox....


...so we played friggen split screen.


There better be an online coop or atleast a LAN coop option. I hate split screen, but I enjoy playing with friends. I even bought an extra Xbox and TV so I wouldn't have to put up with that crap when guests came over to play.

there should be a contest on xbox live for h3. just like ea did with battlefield 2: modern combat. it wouldnt take out any of the plot. they can throw in a contest for longest played or, most matches won or most matches lost. who knows
