It's just awesome. Biggest dynamic by far is the dual weapons system, and the single starting weapon. No pistol for you! 😛

I could say more but there might be spoilers involved. Though I'm sure no one minds. If so, I'll throw the warning in the title and do "One Man's Review" 🙂

No and no. While it obviously would be better with kbd+mouse, the controller feels way more responsive, even on default turning speeds, than the original Halo. Far as speed, there's apparently a sprint option somewhere, and the Ghost is now equipped with turbo-boosters. *squish* 😀

i heard that it was bloody amazing. I also heard that the varied active backgrounds and unbelievably large environments were just exquisite at 480p. I also heard that there's a very interesting plot twist. I heard that physics engine was revamped slightly and the model details were enhanced to stunning detail and that the environment color and variety was supurb. I heard all of this and I must say that my source was quite convincing being in dobly digital 5.1.

I can't speak for single player, but MP still has the juicy graphical goodies in place ... soft-shadowing, lighting effects, and a MUCH smoother framerate!

Done. 🙂

Weapons (2x) means it can be used as part of a two-handed weapon combo

Unchanged
Needler (2x)
Plasma Pistol (2x)
Plasma Rifle (2x)
Rocket Launcher
Shotgun
Sniper Rifle

Gone
Assault Rifle
Pistol

New
SMG (2x) - Now your "standard weapon" - packs a lot less punch than the Halo assault rifle.
Battle Rifle - The one we all saw Master Chief using in the trailer - scoped, three-round-burst, wicked powerful.
Covenant Carbine - Aliens need love too! Big angry green bolts of plasma spit out at a somewhat low rate of fire.
Magnum (2x) - Packs more oomph than the Halo pistol, but lacks the scope. 🙁
Energy Sword - SHANKALICIOUS. Finally, you can pick up one of these two-bladed death machines and hack your way through a foe in two charging swings.

When using two weapons, L and R fire each hand. As expected, you lose the ability to toss off-hand grenades, but make up for it in sheer destructive power. Two Plasma Rifles make an awful mess of someone - as do two Needlers. :evil:

Other things - You cannot pilot a vehicle while carrying the flag! Know this now or be p0wn3d as soon as you step online. Either book a Warthog pickup at the enemy base, or hoof it.

And speaking of vehicles ... they now show damage admirably. Hubcaps fly off the Warthog, the side pods blow off the Banshee, and smoke trails galore. Did I mention the "Carjacking" as well? Hold X to leap onto anything that's close enough and slap the driver stupid. 😀

Oh and when jacking a vehicle you slap the opponent stupid by swinging around full circle and putting your boot in their face all in a stunning 3rd person perspective.

Depends on the vehicle. The Banshee, you pry open the cockpit and give them a mouthfull of armour-clad fist. But yes, all in gorgeous 3rd-person glory.

Oh and don't forget the Marine AI it is positively the best I've seen in any game yet.

Seeing as we were only playing multiplayer, it's kinda tough to comment on the AI.

The rants of your enemies as you steam up to a 9-kill streak with the Shotgun is improved though. 😉

But is the environment fully destructable ??? 😉 🙁

It's destructable enough to have the necessary Token Flammable Barrels in convenient places. Like that corner where someone likes to camp the Cloaking. *lobs Plasma grenade*
