Xbox Live members can now download the free ‘Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent' Multiplayer demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace. This demo is not available in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore or Taiwan.

Have fun and tell me what you think of it.

It's up now.
 
I was playing it against the bots. Pretty good, you move really fast and you're super agile as a spy. Is there no way to kill a merc?

Everything from the menus to the hud, to the gameplay seems pretty well polished.
 
I just played with a buncha strangers. Merc seem overpowered if you are a spy - once you are found, bam you pretty much die. I don't know if you can snap their necks, but most of the mercs were constantly running so its hard to sneak behind em. I was hacking from some good hiding spots and they couldn't find me, haha that was a trip. Too bad time ran out and lost the match :-/
 
Holy CRAP!!!

Awesome, AWESOME news!!!

Man, exactly the weekend when my sister and friend are over for the weekend - PSU beta AND SCDA online demo... oh well!

Marketplace is the sh!t man... love it so much!

Download is going pretty damn fast too!
 
This demo is a blast! You can play on one stage in either CO-OP or custom matches. Co-op is just like custom except that you can only play as a spy and the CPU is the mercs. It's much harder IMO, but the point is to try for a high score, not to "win." It's nice because as spies are now non-lethal and there's no human mercs, there's no morons going AWOL anymore in this mode.

Yeah, I couldn't seem to break their necks either...maybe they took it out? However, unlock the previous games, spies now have a hacking "glove." You can use it to break windows from far away using sonics, or more importantly, disable lights.

I started winning as a spy when I remembered that using night vision can give you away to mercs using their vision mode.

Also unfortunately already had one match where I was a merc and the other two idiots I played with decided to play "deathmatch" and kill themselves and me instead. :/
 
Damn. This is MUCH better than I expected. I might have to re-consider purchasing Double Agent

..and no they didn't take out the neck snapping ;)
 
No private matches, but if you are the host, just go to an empty slot and hit A. You can then invite friends.

How do you do it?

I could only pull it off when I was 100% behind a mostly still merc. Playing ring-around-the-rosey during a firefight doesnt seem to work at all.

please skank...inverted aim revolutionized videogaming. What idiot decided to leave it out?

Blah!

My aim is all nice and inverted. Try reseting your general 360 settings while you're playing the game.

Crap crap crap crap. I'm guessing you have to have XBL Gold for this as well? :( God. DAMN. It.

Why do you not have XBL Gold if you have a 360? :/

Anyway, you can do system link in the demo, so maybe that might work without gold.

What button do I hit to bring up settings? Thanks sugartits.
 
Oh great, I may have to get a fourth Splinter Cell after all... damnit!

Mercs (my fav) kick ass... I always perform the best in the entire team also (pretty cool that they show that at the end of the game...

But I'm guessing that the demo is missing alot, since the Mercs don't have any Beserker attacks, or mines and - and I'm kicking ass as is...

(Edit: a guy online told me, it's hold down Left Analog stick)...

Enjoying so far - nice stuff!
 
What an awesome demo :D had so much fun with it, felt so intense knowing that the mercs were looking for you (if you were a spy), completely awesome!

I think I'm going to be playing a lot of this demo and going back to Chaos Theory multi until the game is released. Asian version isn't coming out until about two weeks, too...sux.

The idiot that noticed this isnt a flightsim? Im just kidding though man :). It could work for some, this being in 3rd person and all.

Dunno how you can play with inverted, but the option is in the demo, at the Home option...

Also, like Mike said, you can make it standard for every game by doing so in your Personal Settings, by hitting the Dashboard buttion...
