Picked mine up tonight at midnight, got home and played it for an hour on my 65" HDTV, It's phreaking awesome, the graphics look sweet as hell

Definetly worth the wait. the new guns are sweet, controls seem to be touchier but it'll take some getting used to. It doesn't seem to hard to play. My buddy is coming over on saturday and we're gonna just make it a halo day and try to beat the game on the hardest difficulty.

No health packs on the maps I've been on. The dual yielding gun action is awesome. Graphics look way better than the original Halo. The sword is deadly.

I pick mine up in about 30 minutes. I may be sick tomorrow, feel something coming on. Hope the boss don't surf the A-CL forum.
On a side note, a buddy of mine had a French copy of it and he said it kicks ass.

In the french copy do you use the X key to drop weapons and the O key to run faster?

Hey Smitty, this is a side note, did you know that there is a DJ on GTA SA Radio station that goes by the name "Smitty"

Did you do a cameo on the game? hehe

I've only played the game for about an hour and its amazing. I heard its also not as repetitive as part 1. now my only problem is finding time to play both halo 2 and San Andreas!!!

im still in awe, the story and cutsceens couldnt have been done any better, i love the magnum this time around, and dont get me started on the rocket launcher, the only flaw is the HD, fuckers, nothing ever comes out right the first time i guess
