As promised, the playable demo of the PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved is now
available from
Microsoft
Game Studios and
IGN.
The trial version of Gearbox's port of Bungie's shooter is a 131 MB download.
Here's the deal: "In the trial version, gamers can experience both single
and multiplayer gameplay, including limited vehicle combat. In the single player
campaign level 'The Silent Cartographer', gamers assume the role of
super-soldier Master Chief as he takes on the fierce alien faction known as the
Covenant. In the multiplayer map 'Blood Gulch', up to 16 human opponents can
light each other up with devastating weaponry and combat vehicles, including the
new Rocket Warthog and the Banshee, either online or via LAN connection."
