Asnwer me these qestions two.... ... .

Is it limited to one game only, or can you blag a few goes before getting booted off?

I'm assuming they're demoing Multiplayer System link - how about voice comms - can you talk to your teammates or will you have to shout at them from across the stand?

*sneaks an extra question in*

Not related to Halo 2, but someone (might have been you) mentioned you could buy Burnout 3 from there- is this true?

After browsing the OXM fora, I have found out the following:

-You only get 5 minutes game time.

-10 people are taken into a 'bunker' where the pods are lined up, 5 per side.

-The game is Slayer, although apparently the colours of the characters would suggest it's Team Slayer when it's not.

-Dual Wielding reduces accuracy as expected, so provides no real advantage but coolness.

-Response time problems when trying to mount a vehicle or lob a grenade (could be down to LAN setup)

-'Shoot-from-zoom' for Pistol has apparently been removed (or is due to be)

-The guy who said all this got to the queue at 10:30 (30 mins from Show opening time) and queued for 2 hours to play.

-He said it was worth the wait though.
