Why haven't Bungie or well MS released a Halo 3 Demo yet? Capcom have released the Lost Planet demo and we are quite a while off the release date.

Trailers...they will whenever they feel it is time.

Demo...most in likely not. That would give away too much of the story...the only reason they did it in Halo CE was because it was a way to attract a crowd to a new series.

No way!

I don't want a demo. It takes weeks of prep time to make a demo, time I'd rather they spend on making another multiplayer map or another campaign level

Look at other 360 games. Saint's Row demo comes out August 1st, and the game launches about three weeks later. To release a demo months ahead of launch would be impractical.

There has never been a demo and according to a Bungie rep back during the Halo 2 craze (between e3 and release when Frankie was doling out good stuff every week) they bluntly stated there never will be. They'd rather focus on perfecting the game then let us taste it a few weeks early.

Don't demos usually come out after a game is released? The Halo PC trial came out only after the full version was released, I think.

I found the NHL 06 demo from to be the worst demo ever, which seemed to encourage people to NOT buy the game. The demo has only two teams, one period thats set for 5 minute duration, and you can't even fiddle with the graphics settings (defaulted to somewhere between crap and 10 years ago styles) or the controls. Oh, and there's no multiplayer whatsoever. Not even with the already crummy settings.

I don't think bungie is even going to release a demo for Halo 3.It just seems that they really only want to let out H3 all at one time.The best thing I think we can hope for is more updated halo 3 trailers.

Ya no demos please. Bungie should be more focused on making the game to the best of there abilitys and not waste a minute on demo. Like common guys bungie never had a demo for Halo1 and Halo2(xbox versions) before they came out, what makes halo3 any different?

And another reason i dont think Bungie will not release a demo is because they are not far enough in the game to make one at this time. And i dont know about you but i like surprices and halo2 with all the videos and pictures there was no surprices when it came out.

So bungie, right now, is playing it cool.

people put out demos to show this is what our game is like otherwise you wouldn't put out 60 dollars for -blam!-........i download just about everything from marketplace.....so i was lost planet...camcop......STUPID..........i start playing.....I WAS PLAYING NON STOP THE WHOLE DAY!!!!!....the fact is everyone knows halo noone knows the story plot.....bungie will probley keep it the that way......a multiplayer demo would release info on new weapons...and people to find glitches...........bungie doesnt need a demo the only thing that it could do is hurt them if people dont like the demo.......the only demos out(it there will be any).....will be after it came out and at e3

they have t have it at e3
and after the game comes out some people wont be sure so then they can get the rest of the people to buy!!!!

they are doing daily multiplayer test at bungie!!!!!!!!

so yes the multiplayer is almost done(after they add some maps) but they are looking for thoose "super jumps" the story has been wrote......but no even half of the story has been programmed.....

Yet? Yet? What that's supposed to mean their supposed to release a demo alike a year before the game comes out. Fine if you want to play with lag and bugs I'm down with that. But I will warn you the chances for ever having a halo 3 demo are very slim. Don't every game gets a demo.
