Bought it at midnight opening. Found out what a geek I am when I was getting all competitive at the till, desperate for my copy to be handed to me before anyone else in the shop (succeeded).

Been playing practically non stop and managed 2 hours sleep before going back on... Beat it on easy, now I'm gonna go through on normal and play it on Live later. Then it will be onto Heroic and Legendary difficulties. Might find some space to sleep inbetween it all. But if not then meh.

Love this game. Best. Game. Ever.

More.... Need to play... more...

Actually, they all run away lobbing grenades. I really want to do S**t so I just stroll up to them as they look at me, go 'Hi' and then slash them down. Would be hilarious.

Best thing ever on the game was on Zanzibar, again. Start of a 1 Flag CTF, I'm sure you were there somewhere Spiekcast, and Poison J and Sam Gt et al were in a Warthog - drove S**t to the base and Poison jumped out to get the flag, and the Warthog did lazy circles outside.

I, wS**th my beloved Rocket Launcher and energy sword, jumped down and blew the two guys in the warthog away....then Poison cam into range; 'Ok, I'm getting the flag, O! I killed one, S*S**t, getting S**t, OK GET THE WARTHOG BACK! Guys? Ok, I'm coming out......WHERE'S THE F**KING WARTHOG?!'

Whoooooooooooosh! KABOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

And I laughed absoloutely madly.

Way too many people take it far too seriously, as if it's a real life or death situation. Examples:

"F***, EVERYONE PROTECT ME, I HAVE THE FLAG!!"

"You stupid retard, WHY DIDN'T YOU COVER MY BACK?!?!?"

"Damn, OPEN THE GATE UP BEFORE YOU DRIVE IN YOU IDIOT"

Capitals where they were shouting.

The best thing is the proximity voice with other players - I've snuck up behind two guys on Zanzibar, and they've been discussing how to get the energy sword. 'Right, you flick the bridge, I'll run' etc. How funny it was to skewer one of them and hear the other go 'F**K! HE'S GOT IT!!!'

I have a similiar problem. The people I play with seem to only be able to pick CTF, Juggernaut and Slayer on about 4 of the maps.

I'm "Shall we play with only swords and nades" and the host's "Nah, let's play the exact same thing we just played"

Still an excellent game though. Had my first game of oddball tonight against some random people which was a lot of fun, don't think some of them knew what they were doing though as they shooting me when I was nowhere near the damn skull.

Just finished a game in which I managed to kill 15 people by running them over in a ghost, god I love jacking ghosts off Americans and then yelling "I'll be taking that biacth" as I run their lardy asses over.

Well yes. But MORE and MORE until one day I'll realise I'm bored of it.

In about 5 years.

Possibly.

Me too, just on and off, say couple of games a day, and the same for night. Like medicine actually.

*deliberates path of conversation one could take ;)*

Ach, it's a joke. I love it to bits already. I'll be on it for months and months I reckon.

Well yeah, of course it's the best multiplayer game since PD on the N64. I'm just not hooked. And that makes me an idiot... how?

You're an idiot then - how can you not be hooked?! I've played perhaps 5 of the maps properly (two of which I played before on Halo), in about 4 different game modes (because Creepy can only select a few game types it seems ;) ), two of which I played before on Halo 1, in non-ranking games, and it's been absoloutely fantastic. And that's before I play the multi properly, in actual exploration of maps and tactics. Actually, scrap the tacitcs, it's more fun to charge about with SMGs and grabbing the sword before chasing after people hearing them shrieking 'ARRRR! He's got the swo-KRCUNNNNCHCHCHCHCH'.

It's the best multiplayer game I've played since the N64.
