    I know it seems wierd, cause it's not even out yet, but I got to watch some idiots play it today. I say idiots because they're general tactics involved ignoring the radar and sitting in the turrets. After trying to sound like connoisseurs and complementing the music, they opened fire on their own drop ship because they hadn't been listening at all to the communications over the radio. It's so awesome when geniuses like these decide to camp out on a fucking console so they can try and play through it.
    Anyways, the music was good, as was the ambient noise. The graphics were pretty nice, with some good textures, but the framerate was not at all constant. It even dipped down to about 5 frames per second at one point. =| I'll add in more on friday after I've played. Oh yeah, Halo does not include mouse or keyboard support of any kind, wheee.....

      I played it earlier tonight. The control blew. =| This game would have owned FPS's if it came out on the PC. I needa get my hands on the beta floating around the net....

        If only these wanna-be PC games running on consoles supported a mouse/keyboard combo... I would have loved Red Faction had it supported a mouse and keyboard. It's coming out on PC but I don't have the specs to run it. I can't run anything anymore.-Spok-

          I played Halo multiplayer tonight, ugh. It would have been really fun if I could see my enemy. Everything past 50 yards pretty much is lost to the resolution on a TV. I feel for the kid with Halo, 4 controllers, 3 friends and one X-Box on a normal TV. =|
