I don't mean to be annoying but...Basically after reading a lot of these posts it all comes down to...Halo 1 > Halo 2Make Halo 3 like Halo 1 with Halo 2 online FEATURES(note: Features NOT Gameplay) and we're good to go...

As long as they actually turn down the freaking autoaim and use physical bullets instead of damage cones, I'll be happy. I couldn't stand that the standard weapon in that game just emitted a cone of damage in a general area instead of firing actual bullets that would do damage if they hit. The autoaim made sniping a joke too. In Gears I'd stay away from the sniper because I'm honestly not that great. Going back to halo 2 I'll get headshots from across the map without any zoom just by casually flinging the reticle in the target's general direction. Personally, I liked the health system from the original Halo, but I can see why some people wouldn't. At very least I think weapons need to do consistent damage. It's no fun having two people with no shields spamming their shotguns only to have one guy survive 4 shots to the face while the other dies to one shot over his shoulder.

"What a bunch of f**king losers!The gaming world is laughing their asses off at you pathetic f**ks.50 bucks a year for a piece of s**t online game! Paying to reamed in the ass by Microsoft."Wow....yes....WE are the ones sounding like "pathetic f**king losers" aren't we?And it's sad that the entire gaming world is "laughing" at all those people who enjoy a game on a console. All 2 million of them that bought the game on day one are so pathetic just because it's a fun game. Yes...that's sad.You have shown me the error of my ways. I will sell my Xbox 360 now and buy a PS3 and all 3 of it's good games. Can I be cool like you now? Am I now validated in your eyes?

You can rent the game...but the only way you can play the beta without being invited is by having the actual Crackdown disc and booting up the beta with the game in your console. You can't "download" anything and then play the beta without the game. Once you return Crackdown there's no way you can keep playing.

"X" button is for..... Well i don't know how to put it in correct words. Its like the gears of war "A" button that does everything. Wouldn't that be crappy if Bungie copies GOW. Umm anyways the button is used to hide behind cover, that's it... I know this because i kept up with all the Halo 2 hype. For instance the dumb ATV, i was so hyped about this vehicle being in Halo 2; but its only now going to be in Halo 3. They also said they'd give the chief the ability to hide behind cover, which wasn't in Halo 2. And now that everything is being announced, this is the only thing missing from that article. It'd be sad if they already mentioned this feature on the controls. Anyways this also proves that Bungie is running out of ideas for the Halo series, the only thing left for them to do is copy other games. Like the Grenade on Resistance, the force field grenade. Bungie snagged that right up, and even put it in the commercial. They even have the spike grenade. I owned the Xbox and a proud owner of the 360; this is my first PS unit, and I'm happy with it also.
