Do you think there will be a downloadable demo from the marketplace?If so soon?What would you like to see... a multiplayer level would suit me fine.

The art to good shooting lies in the ability to aim at where your opponent isn't, and miss.

I think that there will be no demo. There wasn't one for Halo 2.
If there does happen to be one it will probably be close to or after release and will probably be part of a campaign level, plus maybe the Halo 3 equivalent to CTF single on Zanzibar as lots of 360 games are making their demos live enabled.
But I doubt there will be a demo.

When Halo 2 was being developed, the Xbox 360 didn't exist. Neither did the Marketplace. Possibility?

Halo has never had playable Demos as far as I know, not does the game need one. So I wouldn't suspect Bungie's gonna start now.

There was a "French Playable Demo". You just had to have a modded Xbox.

Most of the 360 games have a demo. Hopefully halo 3 also.

GameJunkieJim said something along the lines of "the odds of a Halo 3 playable demo are the same as the odds were for a Halo 2 playabel demo." If they're going to release a demo they would have already planned for it in the development process. Only time can tell.

Yeah, but games that have Demos are usually borderline as far as being great games. They need the publicity.

Halo 3 will need publicity like a hole in the head.

I doubt Halo 3 will have a playable demo. Just like Halo and Halo 2.

If i were you i wouldn't repeat that many times.

I think there might be a demo at the near release of this game, or after the release.

Demos come after games are released, to help promote the game and let people know if they want to buy it. There will probably never be a Halo 3 demo, just like there will never be a Halo 2 demo. Halo is so popular now, a demo would be a waste of time. Halo 1 did have a demo though, I remember playing it at Target a long time ago lol.

You're right. It's better to ignore a problem and pretend like it didn't happen... That's what my Jewish Grandfather told me to do at least.

There will most probably be a demo, Available for download.
But i don't think it will be for some time; And you'll probably have to pay with gamerpoints.

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

My friend got that "demo" for Halo 2. We played it 2 months before it ever came out. That was sick. Everyone was jealous.

Why will there "most probably" be a demo? What sense does it make to put out a demo for the most popular game in the world? The only thing that could happen by putting out a demo, is a few people will get pissed and decide not to buy it because it's not enough like Halo 2. They can only lose fans by putting out a demo.

  • 05.15.2006 11:41 AM PDT

Hopefully a leak would never happen again, which I doubt it will seeing as how strict things are with Bungie this time around. Because it creates unfairness when top teams gain a chance at learning the game for a long time before others get a chance to play.


Concerning the demo...there seriously DOESN'T need to be one. I'm sorry but the wait for Halo 3 right now for me is already bad enough and people need to understand Bungie would need to take time AWAY from Halo 3 in order to put a development team on the demo. There are games that have been delayed a month or more simply due to a demo being made. To me this is unacceptable.

I'd rather Bungie do things that don't take away from the development process...such as taking screenshots and posting them here in high resolution like they did with Halo 2. Then just good gameplay preview vids like they did with Halo 2 as well.

Guys we have to allow Bungie to do whatever it takes to release this game as soon as it possibly will take in order to put a great game out there.
