Halo: Combat Evolved Trial

The Halo Trial is the demo version for the popular Halo: Combat Evolved, for both PC and Mac. It features the campaign level, the Silent Cartographer, and the multiplayer level, Blood Gulch.

Campaign
Only the Silent Cartographer mission can be played in Halo Trial. Similar to Halo: Combat Evolved, the level features similar environment, weapons and enemies. However, players would not be able to save the level, as doing so will restart the level.

Multiplayer
Blood Gulch is the only map featured in the game with the capability of hosting up to sixteen players per game. In contrast to Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo Trial's version retains similar weapons and vehicles but features low graphics settings, as players are encouraged to buy the full version. There are only two gametypes: CTF Classic (First to 3 Flag Captures) and Free-For-All Slayer (First to 25 Kills).

Trivia

 * When the player closes the demo, an advertisement for the full Halo PC appears, which features Sergeant Johnson telling (almost ordering) the player to buy a copy of the full version. However, one can simply bypass the advertisement by pressing Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Alt + Delete and ending the program, or by using the -novideo command line parameter on a windows. On a Mac, the player can just press Escape or Enter. The video can also be removed by deleting the demo.bik file in the program files.
 * The demo contains all of the weapons from the full version. Fuel Rod Canons &amp; Flamethrowers for Multiplayer and Snipers are only in Multiplayer. It also contains half of the vehicles of single player, but has a Rocket Warthog and Banshee for Multiplayer matters.
 * Halo: Combat Evolved Trial has maintained incredible popularity since being released in 2003.
