Better late than never? As of this week, Modern Warfare 2 now has a single-player demo. It went live yesterday on PlayStation Network and hit Xbox LIVE earlier today (download link).
You can probably understand why Infinity Ward didn't do this prior to the game's launch last November. Modern Warfare 2 is something of a known quantity at this point, and putting together a demo would've been time away from active development.
Still, why now? Are the add-on maps to blame? At any rate, I say download the demo if you aren't necessarily into "war games" or even first-person shooters. The "Cliffhanger" level -- a good example of MW2's thrill-ride-style design -- is playable in full.

I hope I enjoy my time with this new game!
(I had to stare as my PSN screen to seriously believe that there is NOW a demo out for this game)
Well, obviously from the screenshot it is an ice climbing simulator.
Presumably the title "Modern Warfare" refers to the modern man's struggle with identity, discovered through conquering the doubt and fear in oneself on the mountain.

I hate you, liar jerk face! I downloaded the demo and people shot me in the face!
Funny, I thought the single player campaign was the only part of the game worth playing, personally.
They should of shaved off the price for those who only want to play it's multiplayer, because the majority of players take that over co-op and Spec-ops. Like, perhaps, 15 bucks off.
Oh, and ahem. WAI NO PC VERSION I WANT CLIMB ICE NAO PLOX SO I CAN GO "OMG I WNAT 2 BUY THIS GAEM" AND GIEV BOBBY KOTICK WHO I LOVE LOTS ALL MY MONEY. PC GAEMING IS DYING AND DIS IZNT HELPING
I haven't played it.
Also, my cave is pretty pimpin'. How else do you think I get Internet in here? Don't hate.
Well played Activision.. well played.
It was either that or say something along the lines of..
Wasn't Modern Warfare 1 the demo for Modern Warfare 2?
Oh silly activision, go die...
What a fucking surprise
1. most pc players are to busy playing starcraft 2 or BFBC2.
2. They already know its shit.
3. steam lets people play the multiplayer for a weekend or something like that for free. So those people already know its broken.
4. PC people pirate it if they just wanted the single player. I'm against piracy but I honestly don't blame them.
I hate ice climbing simulators.
