Hey Bungie how about releasing a playable demo on Live, or maybe even a multiplayer demo with like one level or something like they did with BF2?

Bungie doesn't do demos. Nuff' said.

Oh okay, so that's why THERE WAS A DEMO for Halo 2! We just didn't get to play it. It was for show only.

i would want one. they wouldn't do a single player one though. it would reveal parts of the story. my idea was a multiplayer map with nothing new. only the old weapons that are barely changed, no new vehicles, nothing but the engine, map, and graphics upgrade. it would give us a taste, but at the same time it would save the surprise for the release of the final game.

That's why I want one. Is it just me or do people like to start fights on forums?

They never made a playable demo for Halo 1 or 2 so why would they make one for Halo 3? Their already busy enough as it is.

You think you want a demo...but you really don't.

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each brave fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, or flags.
-The Next War

they made one for halo on one of those multi-demo disks with whaked and quantum redshift. They were giving them away 4 free at a baseball game I went to.

It was for E3. Ironically it was scrapped and never featured in the game. Shame, I would of liked to play that level more.

wel im glad ive got someone else running my life...........not. i DO want a multiplayer level with what i said before. theres no reason why someone wouldn't want that.

I put on pants for this?

this would just slow down the release of the game. would that make you happy? also, if they dont give us any photage or demos, then that will increase the hype of the game, thus increasing sales.

That wasn't a demo, it was a prerendered E3 showcase, smartass.


obviously your an idiot, it was a demo that was played live (by a bungie worker no less).

That aside, a demo would probably reveal more then they want to right now. If theres one thing I've learned about Bungie over the years, it's their love of secrecy.

From what I heard they had a guy sitting there playing it live in front of a audience at E3.

yes, that's exactly what happened.

If you have the Special Edition Halo 2, and you watched the special features, Joseph Staten was actually playing the "demo." Like I said, i would of enjoyed playing that level more.

um....well thats true to an extent. look at oblivion. It had tons of hype early on.....then came the long time period of no footage (yes thats how you spell it) and eventually more and more people started to loose interest in it. Than close to release the were somehow able to save themselves but, theres no guarantee it would happen again. Sure this is halo 3 which is more anticipated but that doesn't mean it will always keep people interested if its kept secret. in the long run it could decrease hype/sales.

Exactly. Bungie is too busy working on Single Player and Multiplayer to focus on a demo. But since Halo 3 will be out after E3 2007, maybe Bungie will show some really cool stuff at E3.

Trust me. No one's going to forget about Halo 3 or lose interest.
