What are your thoughts on the demo?
I just beat it and I must say it was really awesome. A little too short though. Defiantly looking forward to picking this game up.

I just beat it about twice now. On Normal & Realistic Difficulty. The controls were a little weird but it took some of getting used to....

downloaded the demo this morning and i love it! 
it was indeed short, but of course, it's a demo so i didn't expect much... what i was surprised about was that they did not include a demo of the Denied Ops co-op mode, i was pretty excited to try that out with a friend.
what i don't like so far are the controls, a little awkward and different for Splinter Cell. also, another thing that bothered me was the delay from when you stealth kill a person to when you get your marks available... i was in the sewer portion right after i watched the scene and i took the path through the mini tunnel to stealth kill the guy there (after he finishes talking), my mark meter didn't appear as fast as i'd want it to, which caused the other two gaurds across the room to notice me, fire a shot, and thus alerting the guards even further down the tunnel. it just isn't as fluid as i thought, hopefully this will be fixed in the final product.
next point, i was skeptical when i heard that you don't rely on sneaking in the shadows that much anymore since Sam is rogue now, but nonetheless, they pulled off the new sneaking system pretty well with the screen turning black & white when you're invisible.
overall, i think it's a pretty solid demo and things are looking good for the game. i'm even more hyped up for the release now, already have my Collector's Edition pre-ordered

i think the game is bad ass, but looks like crap in my opinion.
Also, I got an email from Ubisoft, and it said to text the word WEAPON to 44144 for a unique code to a secret weapon in the game. I did it and got my code, dunno what weapon it is though.
Apparently these codes are low on supply, so jump on it quickly!

You have to kill someone hand-to-hand to get the stealth kills . . . Otherwise you would stealth kill the entire game and how boring would that be?

that's what i meant. when i did the hand to hand stealth kill, it takes like half a second after the guard falls before you get your marks, and that's all the time it takes for the other guards to notice you and fire shots, which in turn alerts other guards. ehh, it's hard to explain, but i hope you get what i'm trying to say.

I thought the demo was pretty bad ass, I have been looking forward to this game for a while and the demo just made me even more excited for this game to come out, the graphics seem to be better and, I'm not real sure what it is, but I am more excited for this one then any of the other splinter cells
