LOL I know, that's the worst fucking part dude! Oh well, shit was fun last night. Also: Sorry for booting you from the lobby last night Bacon, Dave, Trial, Rambo and I were trying to get some campaign done. I even kicked Myk lol.

My house just got this, maybe I'll play a Halo for once in my life.

While that's unfortunate for all non-hard drive owning Xbox 360 gamers, it's especially worrisome for those of you who recently jumped into a 4GB Xbox 360 S. While they finally (quietly) released a hard drive for the new console, the $130 asking price is a hefty barrier to entry if you're looking for some co-op fun. Microsoft's official Halo: Reach FAQ page confirms the shortcoming:

Q1: The error "One or more players do not have an Xbox 360 Hard Drive. An Xbox 360 Hard Drive is required to play co-op on Xbox LIVE or system link" occurs when I try to play. Why?

A1: One or more players do not have a certified Xbox 360 hard drive attached to their Xbox 360 console. Some multiplayer aspects of Halo: Reach require an Xbox 360 certified hard drive.

Nukezilla further confirms that USB memory sticks can't fill in for the absent storage and UK gamers will have to wait until later this month to get the £80 hard drive. Evidently, this limitation was present in Halo 3: ODST as well. Anyone affected by this issue?

LOL @ people who still don't have an HD.

Huge lol at anyone with a 360 and no hard drive.

Huge.

Mzo should buy this game. Although I already did my impersonation of him telling us that he's not going to.

The campaign commentary was part of the Legendary DLC codes, and while I really want the commentary I am not paying the $80 these are going for on ebay (seriously guys, it's a flaming helmet, IT MAKES IT EASIER TO SEE YOU!). Why isn't this on youtube yet?

haha

I'm going to buy the helmet effect that has little pink hearts fly out of your head

That costs a lot of scrilla, get to work.

Got through the Campaign on Heroic last night. It was okay. There weren't any bad stages, but Bungie dipped a little too much into the Firefight well. It makes sense story-wise, since the planet is being invaded, but I was getting tired of the 'defend this area' objective by the last stage. Also, there was no epic final segment like Halo 1 and 3. The after-credits segment was sad (although it was Firefight, AGAIN), but I really liked the shattered visor effect.

I do like how they revamped the animations when you run over enemies. Also, the buggers exploding when you kill them is great.
