Sure, you could be heading to the Dallas MLG event to watch MTV True Life vet Tsquared play Halo 3, but we know why you're really going. It's for all that Halo 3: ODST Firefight Mode action that Bungie is publicly premiering at the event in late August, isn't it?
The asking price is a bit steep at $20 if you weren't already heading over, but hardcore Halo fans (like ourselves) wouldn't want to miss any opportunity to play ODST three weeks before its release. That being said, we've already begun fashioning a cat helmet-based holder for our collector's edition controllers, so, you know, take our advice with a grain or two of salt on this one.

Speaking of which, can I be the planeteer from the Deep South? My power can be banjo-pickin', or raping Ned Beatty.

Apparently people were playing it at E3, I don't think this is the first public playable demo of it.
Anyhoo, I'm willing to bet that for all the difference Bungie says it has that it just plays like a reskinned Halo 3. If you want something truly new, wait for Halo Reach or the other unannounced game they're talking about which is new IP with a new publisher (methinks new publisher == PS3 port of game but you never know)

If it's a reskinned ANYTHING, I'd have to say it's a reskinned Halo: CE;

$20 to play a game 3 weeks early? For Halo3? Maybe I'd drop my paper with Mr. Jackson on it for Bioshock 2 or MW2 possibly. But not Halo. I'm still looking forward to playing it, but I can wait 3 weeks.

I'd consider going, but it would just make it harder waiting for the game itself. Already pre-ordered it, don't need to think how far off it is... a month can be a long time you know. Plus, I don't think I'd pay a third of the game in addition to what I'm already paying to see it before release. Not worth a whole lot, even though I'm a big fan.

To be fair, Tsquared isn't as much of a douche as he was on that true life. He's actually a REALLY nice guy, I had the chance to meet him at MLG Meadowlands.
Anyway, Citadel and Heretic are also being played on at Dallas.
