Epic trailer which takes place before Reach, showing how Kat got her robotic arm and how the original Noble 6 died.

Holy crap... that video was awesome. I know its supposed to be sad, but the CGI in it was astounding.. it was so real. Now I really can't for Tuesday!!

Anyone doing a midnight pickup? I pre-ordered but probably won't pick it up for at least a few days due to real life. Dunno if I'm gonna active my pre-order bonuses either. I've never like the Recon helmet, and the GameStop bonus makes Noble Six look like Duffman. Still, maybe I'll get a chance to play through a bit of the campaign after the family goes to bed. Maybe I'll pick mine up tomorrow after work.

I'm heading out for midnight launch tonight at 10, getting the giant box at 12, and then playing it from 12:30 to 6-7 AM with my Flaming Helmet Recon Duffman.

You going campaign or multiplayer first?

Campaign on either Heroic or Legendary first, depends on how awake I feel.

I got mine now! Arrived today, came from www.amazon.co.uk.

If you want to play a game tomorrow or something!

Hey Wazmol, I ordered my game from Amazon too.. does that mean I'll be getting it today or do you not live in the U.S?

Looks like a UK citizen to me.

I've heard things about some Amazon copies arriving about 7 PM tonight, so it's possible you may get it early.

..either that or you're going to get it tomorrow at that time.

Ya, I've heard rumors about getting it today too but I dunno if its true.

Just a reminder for anyone who has their gamertag linked to Bungie.net, you can select your custom nameplate now (The giant 2, seventh column, HALO, Chief Helmet, etc.). Just click on the Hi, [Your Gamertag], then go to game settings, then nameplates. Hit submit on the one you want and are eligible for.

I'll be taking off in about 2 hours from now, if you need to ask me for help, do so now, because I'll be doing campaign after the 2 hour disappearance and probably won't want to be interrupted.

*sigh* I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail... I sure hope it gets here soon otherwise I'll kill myself! :maulsaber:

Just picked mine up (had to get the oil changed, and GameStop's across the street ). Hopefully I'll get a chance to play some tonight.

Onto the space mission, so far so epic.

Got to play the first few missions last night and activate my pre-order stuff. I don't like the Recon helmet variant, but I did activate the chest piece on my character. It's really good so far, but I wish you could do a front-facing takedown with the melee button. I wasn't much for the new control scheme either - went back to the Halo 3-esque scheme (forgot what its called). Sword-wielding elites are finally what I would consider a tough takedown. That's nice to see. Used to be I could unload on elite then just melee them before they could hit me. Now I gotta backpedal while firing and use strategy.

*spoiler* I love driving the forklift. It's hilarious. They need an achievement for impaling a Covenant with one of the forks. And R trigger should raise/lower the forks. (According to IGN, the forks used to move)

The forks used to move, but when they did that they caused a physics error that would throw things at least 50 feet into the air. Better to have a working one than one that would take too long to fix.

So I tried to look for a Grifball game variant to download. Apparently there's a bug right now that bans folks for uploading files -- or so it says -- so there are no files whatsoever to download. No variants of games or maps.

Can somebody tell me how do assassinate a person? I'm still not sure how to do it.

Hold B when assassinating instead of tapping it. Sometimes it doesn't work.
