Wow, bang on time. I'm impressed!

Downloading already, but it is of course incredibly slow.

If you're having problems downloading the demo, you could try what I did a whle back. I havent tried with this demo yet, as I am only a Silver user.

Connect your Xbox 360 directly to your modem, and not a router or hub etc. I had many demos that would not finish, and then once I did this, they all worked perfectly fine. Give it a shot, it may work.

This demo is awesome, so I have pre-ordered the game. Don't care about the Halo 3 beta, I want the best experience from that baby when that game is launched.

Is anyone else unable to download this? It goes to EXACTLY 60% on me then just sits there, until it eventually says there was a problem downloading it. I thought it might be my hard drive, so I deleted the partially downloaded file and a bunch of other stuff, ran disk maintenance on the hard drive (X-X-LB-RB-X-X from the memory device selection screen) and same thing - 60% then hangs... I tried filling up the hard drive with other demos to make sure there wasn't a bad spot on the drive, and they all downloaded fine. I called XBox support and they said they were having "problems with the marketplace" and suggested I try in 24 to 48 hours, but still no luck 24 hours later. Am I the only one?

man i can't believe some ppl think this game is less juevnile than Halo3.

if u got pwned in Halo2 by kids then i guess u will say anything to avoid those harsh memories.

many ppl played Halo w' mature adults @ length & had a great time.

there wasn't just matchmaking, was a thing called customs so annoying ppl were not a problem.

lets face it, the variation & customisation available in Halo2 is 2nd to non & halo3 looks like it'll be even better, it's silly to try & belittle ppl for preferring the halo3 beta to this game.

it's not an insult to say this is a kids game.

it has a targeting/auto-aim system that makes halo2's seem non existant.

i would have loved this in my early teens, the auto-aim/targeting, supercop theme(superpowers/etc), arcade style cars & baddies that seem to die like lemmings.

pity they couldn;t manage an advanced Saints Row style multiplayer.

i would think more of this game if it had a well thought out online multiplayer....................i'm glad it has co-op, would be the worst if it was just single player.

This demo is great. Can't wait till the 23rd of febuary! The Halo 3 Beta is also a nice extra. I haven't seen any Dodge billboards.

Does anybody know why this is rated M? GTA San Andreas wasn't even rated M till they found the Hot Coffee hidden code.

I've noticed a lot of Japanese players testing this out (co-op), which is odd as its not available there, which in turn means banning it there is idiotic if the demand is so high.

But its good to be a 360 owner at times like this with excellent free demos with hours worth of playtime.

I musthave played this for at least 15 hours already and I still find large and obvious buildings I've never seen before or been ontop. I still havent done the leap of faith to the agency spire as I need the full agility to do it.

Oh and did anybody else notice the real life Dodge Caliber billboards. Neither did I till just now.

Awesome demo. Download speeds are fine. silver member whiners: So wait awhile for the demo, we get it you refuse to pay for XBL. That is fine. Sit quietly and wait for the freloader downloads to commence in a month or whenever.

Halo 3 fanboys, die in a fire.

Looks to be a good game, but that targeting system needs to be adjusted somehow. It locks on to things a little "too" well.

I had some fun with the demo. I was a little disappointed how similar it plays to some other sandbox games, but I wasn't expecting anything too groundbreaking to begin with.
