You thought it sucked? I thought it balanced out the selection very nicely.

It was my primary weapon against The Flood.

i've only played multi, in which it was only good for close in if you couldn't get a shotty. 2 shotting people with the pistol from across the map is the name of the game.

Gah. Pull the extra http:// of the front of those links in the first post. I never saw that last night. :p

And to make sure props go to the right person, it was Wingznut who got me the initial video.

I consistantly switched back and forth... Shotgun for the big guys, but I didn't want to waste its ammo on the little guys.

It is supposedly on kazaa, I am downloading it now, hopefully its the right file, it says it is 10 minutes long though, and 160 mbs.

Enjoy your pr0n/virus/trojan ... the correct file is 89MBs as posted above.

Ok I got it downloaded and its 160 mbs, 9 minutes and 43 seconds long. It starts off with two elites coming out of a small building, and it has translations for what they are saying. A little later a drop ship comes and drops a new warthog with a better looking weapons set. I would imagine that it is a preview for the new one, oh and the music is slightly different. It looks pretty damn good.

That's not the E3 demo, but sounds cool. :)

The E3 demo gave me chills. GO XBOX! :D

Why didn't they stick with that warthog? It looks better, I had only watched the first 30 seconds at that time... now it does look the same. Are all the files quicktime files for this? I hate quicktime.

That was amazing. The best part is when he commandeers the bike. The crowd seemed to like it too.
