    I'll be stuck at work all day, and I chose not to sleep-deprive myself last night...so I'm still Halo2-less. I'd love it if some of you all who are playing the game would share your initial thoughts and impressions. At least I can visit here throughout the day and see what you guys think.

    Thanks. :D

    I did the same thing. I will get my copy after work tonight. I've waited this long, what is another 19 hours?

    I played it for an hour last night and wish I didn't. Now it's all I can think about. Started the campaign and then went online to check out game options. I was just messing around so I set up a swords only party match.

    Walking around checking out the map (forget which one) when all of a sudden there are 5 other guys in the room with me. It was a "party" so they all had to have been on my friend's list. I didn't have my mic in. The only name I recognized was Army of 1.

    The game is off the hook incredible.

    Hehe, that'll be nice for a change. I may have to replay a few of those early levels to get a better feel for the plot. :laugh:

    Hmm, I have only played multi-player and its no different than any other fast paced FPS. Maybe the single player is awesome, I dunno. Still have yet to see what all the hype is about.

    A word to the wise.

    I ran home for lunch, got my game, turned it on and given I didn't have a lot of time I jumped immediately into a CTF match in the 'Training Ground' section.

    Yeah . . . . I forgot to reverse my axis so I looked like a complete noob as I'm running around with my gun pointed at the ceiling. Then, (the ultimate noob move) I point the gun down at the floor and inadvertently throw a gernade at my feet.

    Just to let those of you know, you might want to check your settings before you jump online. :D

    So far thumbsup, great graphics, story is really holding me. It seems a little easy on normal difficulty.

    Have you guys noticed the Elites go down alot easier? I'm playing on Legend and was a little surprised at that.

    Well I just played a bit briefly earlier with Tris, Jon, MP, King Kobra and I believe a couple others from LG. As I said, I played briefly, but boy does this game kick ass! Hardest part I found at it was remembering what team I was on. :?

    Just look for the red or blue uniform, that's all there is to it.
