because this forum is full of geeks who have $3K computers, and they feel they have to justify their $3K spent by putting down a game that is going to sell like hot cakes on a console that is only $400 but won't be on their $3K machines. They also have to justify it by saying it doesn't look as good as Unreal 2007 will look on a $3K PC, and say that a mouse/keyboard is the ONLY way to play an FPS and playing an FPS with a console is stupid, but in reality it's just too tough for them to learn.

funny, cause you can build an awesome mid range gaming PC for ~$600 that will run games perfectly fine at 1280x1024. let's not forget that games for PC get cheaper with time, too.

Sorry, playing a FPS with a controller is just stupid. Let me know when they let you use a mouse and kb.

Seems to run about the same in terms of player movement/speed. Wonder why they put in that worthless Halo 1 rifle, (if they changed the damage) when they still have the BR and SMG. And that is some annoyingly gay music. :| Also seems to have some massively delayed grenades (5:50 mark)

Wonder what exactly is new other than the weaps. I just put Halo 2 back in this past weekend and gotta say, it was a ton of fun - haven't played it in a while and it was a nice change. (Played Halo 1 like crazy back during the XBC days, and Halo 2 for years straight) Just doesn't seem like much has changed really, except a new weapon or two. Hell it's not even a new level. I like Zanzibar and all, but at least beta a new level. I'm kinda meh.

The AR is much different than the SMG. The AR isn't DWable, which is good. They wanted to make you start with a weaopn that you can't duel wield so that the game doesn't turn into a duel wield fest like it did with part 2.

The AR in this video looks like it's more powerful and more useful than it was in Halo 1.

Damnit purbeast, I've told you a million times not to exaggerate. Geez.......

I finally got to watch the video in it's entirety just now, and it looks ok. Like an above poster mentioned, I did notice the crazy lag time for a grenade to explode. It had to be something like 10 seconds......ridiculous. But I'm thinking that you guys get your comments of it being too slow or the players looking too small is because that level is WAY too big. It's much bigger than the levels in Halo 2 as far as sheer openess, so of course the players looks slower than we're used to. The lighting does look pretty good, I'm hoping they'll surprise us with different day cycles of maps (none in the dark, though). The animation of riding on 4-wheeler looked kinda stupid, so hopefully that'll be touched up.

Well yea I understand the AR isn't DWable...but the SMG was worthless. Unless you noob comboed someone, it was a worthless.

I couldn't tell if the AR was more powerful this time around though...the one time where he was engaged with someone with the AR, he killed him, but turns out there was a guy helping him out too.

Meh. Guess it's time to go find somebody's copy of Crackdown and find out if it's worth the fuss.

Oh I agree about the SMG, it was a worthless gun completely. And yah you can't really tell the power of the AR because of the other guys attacking too.

When I initially played Halo 2 I though tit was perfect. It took me probabl 3 weeks to realize how many flaws the game had. DWing was cool for a few weeks until I realized how much it took away from the game and was just not a way to show who has more skill than someone. It was basically you attack someone who's not DWing and you win, wow that's fun!

And I hate how the people who make these games always suck so bad at them. It looked like the guy in the video was playing it for his first time lol.

I wouldn't necessarily say that's a Bungie employee...I doubt they'd be the ones leaking the video. I'm pretty sure there's a group of people who already have access to it beta testing...much like those Alpha shots a few months ago. (Which, just like the Elite 360, you called BS on)

Hopefully it's a little bit more balanced though. I know I'll still buy the game and still play it all the frickin' time, but just doesn't look revolutionary or anything to me.

Well it's out for MS employees as well as Bungie employees.

After reading a bunch of posts on forums, I'm starting to agree with some that it is part of a viral marketing program Bungie did on purpose. I mean look at the half assed "blackening out" of the names. You can clearly make out names in the game of some of the players. Also that music ... it seems like another thing that would get people talking because the music is just so horrible that you have to tell people about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's part of a marketing plan on bungie's part to get free publicity for it.
