i think its a good idea to include a demo for halo3 because i remember wen i got a demo of the first halo and i (forgive me for saying) but i hated it .....but then i had another go dont ask y but i got into it and then before i knew it i was playing it everyday before any1 asks my hole point is that any1 new to the game could play it a get hooked like me .

They defently should make a demo, otherwise my friends won't buy it. The reason they won't buy Halo 3 is because bungie does a terrible job banning cheaters and other -blam!-s that talk to much trash. After all, the cheating in Halo 2 has not stopped.

if they are going to release anything else on xbm. the they can release that demo of halo 2 they got the bungie team to play at e3 a couple of years ago

i
need
that
level
bungie

thats what you can release

And to the halo 3 demo follow this very simple formula

the best games sequlas (is that how youm spell it) = no demo

prey isnt releasing a demo, killzone never did, gta nope, halo 2 nope, oblivion nope, mgs nope and the list goes on

how ever it is ok to release demos for previous games that the developers got to play and not the gamers hint hint

No, absolutely not, they should not release a Halo 3 demo, before or after the official launch.

Why? Simple.

The trailer alone (only 100MB or so) basically crippled the xbox live downloads and clogged the servers to the point that many people reported not being able to download it at all.

Now, you're going to put a 1GB or so demo that every single anyone who isn't a grandma (and some grandmas) will download?

Pfft. "This is how the internet ends"

:D

That's an ignorant statement.

It will be released in 2007...

If they do decide to release a demo before the actual game comes out, it won't be for a long time... You know, seeing how it's not done yet, and I'd rather have them finish and focus on the game, not a demo.

I can understand making a demo AFTER Halo 3 is released, but no sooner. I don't mind trailers or some in game footage, but no demo releases. It'll turn out to be like the last demo at E3. (You know, where the MC was battling the Covies on Earth and getting prepared to get onto the Covie cruiser, even though that never happened in the actual game? It'd be funny if that part of the demo was enhanced and put into Halo 3... I'd laugh... cuz technically then they showed us a glimpse at Halo 3 a long time ago... I'd chuckle... but it's not true. lol.)

Not everyone thinks as you do. I personally agree with the original poster, but I think they should put one up after the game's release.

I say they shouldnt release a demo. No matter how much I want to play the game. But because it would be only one lvl and from that lvl people will just make conclusions about the whole story making them never shut up about the theories that they "know" will happen. And the fact that people will decide their whole idea of what Halo is on that whole demo (which, most demos are not of completed games), which will either create more hype or make some people not buy it. If the hype goes up because people are making up all this crap about what they know will happen and then it doesnt then the people are gonna say that the game sucks, because they had this all holy idea of the game and that did not make it into the game so therefore they think the game sucks. There is my opinion on that matter.

Bungie never makes demos. Even for Halo 2 they could of put one on an OXM disc. It was all rumors about ilovebees & crap.
I highly doubt there will be a dem... even on the all-might marketplace.

Don't follow in my footsteps; I walk into walls
my 360s blog

They should release a 16-24 player two map multiplayer demo that doesn't include many or no new weapons and on old maps like containment or hang em high so as to the surprise level high

Vote No

It's nice to be able to play the demo on the marketplace ahead of time, that way I can go ahead and cancel my preorder/save $60 if I find Halo 3's multiplayer/gameplay to be similar to Halo 2's.
