I need to get Xbox Live back.

Best Mister Chief ever!

Anyways everything you are saying looks good of course. The controls are fantastic, the only grumblings I can think of is that I have to get used to a new set of controls, and that I am worried the X feature will suck. But knowing how you guys work X feature will be great.

The new context sensitive B feature intrigues me though, and I am sure the forums here and at neoseekr will be ablaze with whether "halfway between a crouch and speed dialing fantanas" is a cryptic message or just a joke lol. But thats fine I don't think I could get anything out of that.

Oh and did you guys say you have been reading some of the X button drama? I bet it gives you guys immense amusement to see us all guess wrong doesn't it?

The toggle crouch option will be cool not having to hold the stick all the time you crouch and crouch walk.

GT: Greg Is So Hot

OH COME ON. This is the last 07/07/07 we're seeing for a very long time...
I expected more from you guys.

But I still get to say I witnessed two new-hotnesses.

Awesome Update! Glad to see most of the controls are the same.

It would have been neat if the release date was 07/07/07, in the summer. But it looks like we're waitin' until Fall. But, whatever, it will be worth the wait!

And that Mister Chief picture is fantastic.

X: Activate mysterious new feature which on the cool scale falls somewhere between “crouch” and “activate Fantanas on speed dial.”

Ka Five loves his Fantanas! Not so happy about the toggle crouch though...But thats why I won't use it :-D

SB-117

Nice update. Newer hawtness sounds really really cool, I can't wait. Hopefully the lack of groups shouldn't prove too bothersome.

Just randomly, if you're tweaking the control scheme... *ahem* Could you please make the left bumper "melee" instead of "cycle grenades", yet still have left bumper used to pick up and reload a second dual-weapon? Aiming where your melee is going to land AND pressing the B button is techinically impossible (because both require your right thumb) so I think assigning the "melee" to a button on the left will allow you to do both.

The option to change around individual button features instead of the the general button layout would be nice also. For example, if I want Left Bumper to NOT cycle grenades, but I want it STILL activate dual wield (and reload 2nd weapon), I can do this. I could swap "Melee" with "Cycle Grenades", and Left Bumper will now melee when I tap it, but it will still pick up (and reload) a second weapon if I hold it down.

Will you do this please? You will? Great!

My crackpot x- button theory is a temporary shield, similar to the riot shield in urban chaos. The only problem with this is the shield grenade already has that function, so I'm probably way off.
