Based on the IGN posts and the Gameinformer posts about the 4 hours they were given, they tell us that there were no major spoilers or plots given. Granted, they were probably playing linear and weren’t scavenging the whole place for the smallest hint as to the arbiter and his status, but if there were no major spoilers or things like that in the demo, could we get one too?
You could wait for 23 days and play the whole thing. At this point in time, there’s no reason to flight it.

I’m pretty sure they played through the first 4 hours of campaign. It’s not IGN didn’t know any spoilers, they chose not to share them for the most part. I would love to see a public demo drop that we can play but that’s unlikely at this point. It’s not gonna be a flight unless the purpose is to stress test the servers and multiplayer experience.
We are very close to launch you’ll have to hold out for just a little longer before you get your hands on the campaign, IGN & Gameinformer were given preview builds to promote the game and get people interested and it looks like it worked wonderfully (★‿★)

I don’t know if it would technically be a ‘flight’, but if the rumors end up being true and the multiplayer releases today, I wouldn’t be surprised if it included a campaign demo. With the multiplayer being free, I’m sure they’d like to incentivize players to try out the campaign when it drops and giving them a small taste of it for the next couple weeks would make sense. Get everyone in with the free aspect of the game and try to convert as many as possible to either buy the campaign or subscribe to gamepass.

True but that was multiplayer and I feel like at the root, Halo has been very much about the story, and I feel like as the F2P system launches, the story will get lost. Like (Dare I say it) Fortnite and Save The World. An originally story-based game getting sucked away by 9-year-olds and CoD streamers. I feel like if we promote the Paid campaign maybe it wont get swept underneath the rug like the previously mentioned game.

Save the World and Halo Infinite’s campaign are two very different things, let me make that clear first of all.
The prior fell victim to the unanticipatedly massive success of Fortnite: Battle Royale. As the mega-popular mode grew, it took more and more resources away from the original project, leaving Save the World in the dust.
As for Halo, the campaign is supporting material for its expanded universe, and isn’t going to be the primary money drive. It’ll make money alright, but they’re banking hard on Halo Infinite’s multiplayer right now.
The key thing here is that the campaign and the multiplayer aren’t two products competing for the same attention. One is the continuation of a story, and the other is a fun online mode.
Another key thing regarding Save the World and Battle Royale is that both are live service modes. They both require developer attention constantly, and one is drastically larger than the other. (Love divides.)
343 Industries might make more campaigns, but aside from big-fixing, that endeavor would be more along the lines of a “fire and forget” strategy instead of a race against its own products.

If you do look on the page for Halo Infinite, in the go to area it doesn’t say “campaign” BUT “campaigns.” I don’t think it’s a question of “might,” as it appears it’s in their plans.
