Halo: Combat Evolved Trial

Introduction
The Halo Trial is a Demo version for the Halo: Combat Evolved game, for PC and Mac. It lets players get a feel of Halo: Combat Evolved without them having to pay for it, but at the same time, wanting more of it. It features the Silent Cartographer level, Blood gulch multiplayer level.

Settings
The player can log on to Gamespy (No account needed) and their profile will say that they are up to the level The Silent Cartographer. It also has all the normal settings information, such as audio and video settings, normal features and preferences.

Campaign
The player can play the Silent Cartographer mission. This demo is for Mac and PC as the retail version of Halo:Combat Evolved has the game for Xbox, PC, and MAC. You cannot save the game; if you click continue after quitting, you will start the level again.

Game Servers
The player can log onto Gamespy but needs to enter in the IP address. Also you can use GameRanger but you need to turn on GameRanger and you need to again enter the IP address, or you can go to the 'join game' page. There are no dedicated servers, so most servers are short lived because the host will not be available most of the time.

Blood Gulch
There is only a single map in the demo, Blood Gulch, capable of hosting up to sixteen players per game. There are two gametypes: CTF Classic (First to 3 Flag Captures) and Free-For-All Slayer (First to 25 Kills). But it is also possible to hack out the other standard gametypes like Oddball, Race, etc. and play them online without any problems.
