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.

  2. 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.

    "too bad the mac version is never going to materialize.... "

    Don't you think you're crippling yourself as a gamer by only using Mac? It's like buying a Playstation 2 and complaining that Metroid will never come to it.

  4. A Mac version is in the works... by Pfhor · · Score: 3, Informative

    It is being ported as we speak, and should be done "any time now." The work is being done by westlake interactive, and will be sold by MacSoft.
