Praise be upon our Bungie Overlords!
In all seriousness, watching E3 live on G4 for Microsoft's conference was a spectacular thing indeed, then seeing all the information that was released into the internets, as it were, to spike our interests in ODST was fantastic. I simply can't wait for Firefight, I know my buds and I will happily look forward to this, as well as the free-roaming campaign.
I simply can not wait until September 22nd now. I hope my local *Insert video game retailer here* will be hosting a Midnight launch for it. If not, oh well, I know I'll be one of the first in line for this, and the next Halo game.
Keep up the good work Bungie! We love all you guys and gals over there!
