The Halo PC demo's online is full of teamkillers, and there nobody can activate a console to boot people, because it didn't come with the demo.
I played the demo for quite a while, and most servers have found ways around this. Whenever someone is teamkilling, swearing, flying a banshee when they're not supposed to be, the admin threatens to either restart or shut down the server. Restarting is simply annoying for the teamkiller/swearer/etc., but if the server shuts down and opens under a new name, then the teamkiller is in effect, kicked. Since there is never a shortage of people playing the demo, the server will be full again in about a minute, and play resumes.
Thats the one thing I miss about the demo- the fact that you never have to wait for peolpe to join you server. It gets so annoying sitting in the middle of Bloodgulch randomly shooting things, waiting for someone to scrool down on the lobby list and join your game. In fact, I know people who own PC and CE, but only play the demo, just because there is a higher server-player ratio. And the fact that everyone on the demo sucks, and it is easy to beat them all.
