Halo 2

Wow they are going for 40 bucks or so on Ebay. Crazy. I don't see too many LE's though.

The 40 dollar ones will ship on Tuesday, probably not arrive until late November, the 75 dollar and above ones will get to you before Tuesday

playing as the arbitor is rad. I was worried that the game would be split 50-50, like you play as master in the first half and arbitor the second, but the way they did it, is awesome. Going back and forth on a mission basis makes it refreshing and fun.

Glad to hear that, especially after Dynes complaints.

it's an overview of the stat tracking that will be possible on bungie's soon-to-be-launched new site.

The Game Viewer feature shows you the maps of your games from a top-down level. Not just one angle, but 15 perspectives showing the game you played and how you performed. The site culls the actual Gamer Icon that you've created on Xbox Live and everyone else in the game and shows their placement. By clicking on the map, you can see a close-up of the map, and by clicking on it again, you can zoom back to the original size.

On the right hand side of the page, two little bars enable you to flip through the maps (or you can click on them individually). But if you flip through them, you'll see even more information.

You'll see where you performed all of your kills via icon placement. You'll see where every stop you were killed. And if you're playing a team game, such as Assault, you'll see visual trajectories showing who killed you using what weapon. The weapons icons appear on the bottom of the icon to prove it. If you played Assault, and you wanted to see the path it was carried, the path is re-created with your team color (red, blue, etc.) and how far it went. It's FREAKIN' amazing.

incredible.

Agreed. By the time I finished it I actually enjoyed that aspect. But I was still a bit disapointed...

epmode, that is absolutely incredible. I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Every game, map, statistic ever ecorded open for viewing.
Every death, kill, flag steal is shown ON the map, showing you who killed you at what angle with what weapon. Totally nuts.

Played and beat it.

the ending is indeed abrupt. However, it sets up another game, so I have no complaints. Now it's time to multiplay till my eyes bleed.

Played some crazy mutliplayer matches for the hell of it with Samurai and StormShadow. The fucking plasma sword is the shit! Its hilarious to get chased down by somebody weilding it. Plus we played a few maps and so far most of em are pretty cool. Theres one map Ascension I think where theres lots of ledges to fall from and die and 1 banshee spawns. One time I jumped the ledge to attempt to climp onto Storm's banshee and actually did it! I ended up kicking him out and he could only fall to his death! Holy crap I cant wait to play some bigger multiplayer matches. This game is for real. Believe it.

Whoa, that was quick! How long and what difficulty? I've been hearing variances on how long the game actually is, I've heard anywhere from 8-15 hours on Heroic, any truth to that?

Opaque and I played through it on normal mode this afternoon. Took us about 9 hours to finish it off.

It was fucking awesome.
