Halo Demo For PC Now Available

Posted by simoniker on from the slayer-are-gods-of-metal dept.

David Adams writes "There's now a Halo demo for PC available over at IGN, including 'The Silent Cartographer' level from the single-player campaign, as well as the 'Blood Gulch' level for multiplayer action (CTF and Slayer modes, up to 16 players online)." The ever-reliable Blue's News has a list of other download locations, and there's a BitTorrent available via FileRush for this 131mb file, as Halo.bungie.org rounds up some of the reviews for the full version of this long-awaited, generally highly-rated PC version.

  1. Halo Virgin. by oldManSquad · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Refusing to purchase an X-Box - tho' KOTOR pushed me near to the edge - I guess I was one of the few Halo virgins that picked up a copy when it was released and have to say it is quite an entertaning fps. But worthy of the hype?

    Mmm...Well I'd say yes. I felt it suffered from an over-long mid-section that seemed to "grind" on a few levels ( when following the drone, if that is the middle? as im still playing) but on the whole I am finding the two weapon limit, AI and shield system most refreshing. Also nice to see some Iain M Banks fans work at Bungie.

    Definitly worth trying the demo if your an fps fan, but then I think you'd have bought it already if you were. And if your not, then maybe this might be the game that'll turn you.
