Capcom's answer to Halo is set to have a multiplayer demo released on Xbox Live:

'November 13, 2006 - Capcom today announced plans to release the highly anticipated multiplayer demo for its arctic sci-fi action shooter, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, on November 23.

The multiplayer demo will be available for free download from Xbox Live Marketplace and lets gamers participate in heated online matches in the 'Pirate Fortress' stage with support for up to 16 players via the Xbox Live online game service. Players will be able to select from multiple weapons, unique robotic assault vehicles called 'Vital Suits' and four play modes, including Elimination, Team Elimination, Post Grab and Fugitive. Capcom debuted Lost Planet's multiplayer gameplay at this year's Leipzig Games Convention, where its riveting action netted top honours as the Best Xbox 360 Game at the show. In addition, the game was chosen by Tokyo Game Show attendees as one of the winners of the illustrious Future Award.'

With all these high profile launches and releases, it looks like this Christmas will be a deathmatch for the entire industry.
