Hey I'm just excited, caught up in the moment and wanted to post. How are y'all?
I've been a die hard Halo fan since... well... before the Xbox (1) had S-controllers, and I was forced to wander the Library slaying Flood with a controller the size of a football. I've clocked more than a full month of my life in the Halo world, and that's without factoring in time spent eating sleeping or drinking added in. At least 700 hours. I've beaten every Halo on Legendary, alone. And I am extremely excited that, for the next two years, my life can continue to be ruined by additional Halo tie-ins for me to conquer. Seriously. I dropped out of college because I played too much of this game, and I haven't had friends for like the last 5 years while I've been plugged into xbox live. Although I am even more excited that the story looks better than Halo 3's, I get a free Beta key, and I can finally play as Sarge. That's right, Sarge. I don't care about Recon all that much because I am a die hard Ninja Gaiden fan and Hayabusa with Ninja Sword armor was like... better than any armor variant I'd imagined. Not that it won't be sweet when i can haz recon, but itagaki was my homeboy. I maxed Halo's achievements in the first week, maxed everything since, and am looking forward to 2000 additional points to add to my gamerscore. I am perhaps most excited that the story figures seem to be voiced by the male cast of Serenity and that HOT robot chick who was sometimes imaginary on BSG. because i cannot get to 50. static at 45, over 40 in 3x playlists... i'm just not that good. so I'd love me some great story voiced by people I enjoy. I hope the boss is voiced by billy west, from futurama and the m&m commercials.
GO BROWNCOATS.
Now, with all that said, I'll get to my point:
The ONLY thing which, in my opinion, keeps Halo 3 & it's possible variants from being the PERFECT summation of Halos 1-3 is the SHAMEFUL oversight of not adding in the Sentinel Beam as a possible starting weapon in multiplayer matches. This is my only request: please make sure I can play Laser Blasters.
Respectfully Yours,

ps:
perhaps the best signature i ever saw on a message board was a picture of professor farnsworth from futurama saying: "good news everyone! you are hearing my voice reading this in your head as you read this!" with the picture right next to him it was really true.
too scary to publish here.
EDIT:
Also, can we be one of the ODSTs with those guys in that sweet video you made with Weta, tagging the MC as he flies back into orbit? Please?
