Minor campaign spoiler regarding antagonist.
Didact looks like a rejected Gears of War character design :/

Absolutely not, it's just that the promethean knights are not very dynamic which makes a lot of battles tedious and not very memorable.

Mine still says, shipping soon, at 730pm the day before release.
So I said fuck it and preordered from Best Buy, picking up tomorrow.

Welp, my Best Buy is suddenly not having a midnight launch. If I can't find the LE at Walmart tonight looks like I'll be going standard. :/

I just finished the fourth mission, and I'm loving it so far.

The end of the third mission was fucking fantastic. It felt like a final mission, not one early on in the campaign.

It also makes sense with how Spartans are described in the books.
OH THANK THE LAWD
Personally, there was worry about the utility of vehicles in the sandbox in multiplayer and how it would change stuff like BTB and CTF.
I never got why Bungie was so resistant to the idea.
Yep. Exactly what I was thinking.
3 hours... fuck.

As they are in the books, it's weird they can't run infinitely at 60km/h.
Gotta love all of those fan-service moments when you see Spartans kicking ass.

Wondering if I should pick this up. I do like Halo although I didn't stick with the games I got for long.
I'll see if I can get a copy tomorrow.

Yep. It's something I thought would bother me but I barely even notice I'm doing it now.

True
Also plasma weapons are much stronger, but then the game wouldn't be as fun to me.
A tactical shooter version of Halo would be interesting though.

Does anyone know where to find Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter in the game? I know Conan had a segment where they recorded marine dialogue for it.

There's a lot of well reasoned critiques of how sprint affects multiplayer. In short: sprint is an easy out for players who are losing a fight. Someone pops your shields, and you sprint around a corner. The only thing they can do now is chase after you, and even if they catch up, they can't shoot while sprinting, so it's just a chasing game. Of course they can stop sprinting, try to get that last shot off on you, but what if you went around another corner? What if your shields already started recharging? That's one argument.
Though it's problematic in ways, I personally like sprint. It's fun to use, makes map traversal and trick jumping a lot more interesting, and also speeds up gameplay in lots of positive ways.

Lack of sprint has kept me away from having any longterm interest in Halo this gen. Suffice to say this is the best Halo since 2 for me.

Fixed ;]
The aiming reticle delay after sprinting is a good idea. If you run across somebody you weren't expecting you're usually screwed.
You know, it's funny that people give Geoff Keighley shit for that Doritos and Mountain Dew thing, but look the audience for that stuff. (I know it was about video game journalism and not the audience, still kind of funny to me though)

I still really don't like it in MP just because of how it dictates level design necessity, the pace in my head and my sense of safety. I always feel anxious walking around knowing someone might just be blitzing right toward me. Single player it's fine though.
After playing so much of Reach and then going back to Halo 3 over the weekend for a bit, I can't do non-sprinting. It just feels so good in Reach to ever go back to the pacing in Halo 3. I played the SHIT outta H3 too but it just feels so much better with it than without it. Then again H3 multi of course was built without it in mind.
Still nothing.
did you snort the crumbs?

Rub your shame fingers all over the bag to reveal the code.
You forgot the bit where you have to pour Mountain Dew over the white stream to reveal the hidden code. The Ying and the Yang my brother.

So this game requires an 8 gb install for all multiplayer? Or is it just recommended? My friend wants to know and want a for sure answer. Thanks!

yeah pretty sure someone took it
You need to install disc 2 to play MP. Required.
Don't know if it was already posted but you can view the SpOps ep1 cinematic here http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/spartanops
That is some spectacular cg work.
