XBOX Booth Overview

Firefight action. Youtube butchered the quality of this one considerably.. so apologies for that.

EDIT:

So, how was it? Like you expected? Were there any like hidden things the community hasn't witnessed before?


It was awesome. Very fluid and smooth. The medals in the center weren't imposing at all, like I had feared. I rather like them there, actually. It was a bit harder than I thought it would be initially. Though I was playing on Heroic and it was my first times playing (I played twice, once for the full 10 minutes and once for only a couple minutes before the game was cut short due to technical difficulties.. which combined with the schedule at hand led to the firefight demo ending a few minutes early). Its no cake walk. Having no radar is a pain in firefight, especially when you and your teammates arent really communicating in a demo circumstance. Enemies come from all sides and they are sneaky lil buggers.

The only difference I noticed was the grenade physics. When I was watching from the line, I noticed player after player miss easy grenade throws and I scoffed under my breath. When it was my turn to play, I ended up missing quite a few as well. I ended up asking Paul (Bungie employee who's last name escapes me right now) after the game if they had made any changes to the grenade's physics, and he confirmed that there is now some auto-aim associated with throwing grenades. So when aiming at an enemy's feet with a frag, your reticule wants to pull your aim upwards towards the body, creating some overthrows if you aren't careful. It'll definitely take some getting used to, but it should only be an issue with frags. I got a few sticks.. I think it helps you out more with stickies/spikes.

Overall though, a great experience. I even got to play with Brian Jarrard.. I waited extra long to play with him on stage. Twas an honor.

That blonde lady was REALLY annoying...

otherwise, nothing really new seemed to have been shown? other then legends and waypoint, of course.
LEgends will be good. 2 of the studios working on it made Ghost in The Shell(AG) and the Dragonball Z series and movies(Toei Animation). Waypoint seems weird, though. Its like a marketplace add on.

I'm in agreement over legends being good. Waypoint sounds useful though, might be worth watching.

You can add my vids to the OP, but make sure you toss me (LIGHTSOUT225/PsychoTEX) some credit for the deed.

Found another one this morning on youtube - the guy who made it comes off as a bit arrogant because he makes fun of the kid playing a lot of the time.

(im at the right age to watch mature things so i don't know what happened)

EDIT: you know the age system is flawed, what if someone else is old enough but uses the same computer?

Wow....this comic con seemed fun.

Actually, i proabobly would have not had as much fun as i think, I heard there were sum annoying kids cutting in line.
That is true, I wanted to kill them. They just couldnt follow the rules. But it was worth it for ODST.

Ya, weren't there people watchin the line?
yeah, but a -blam!- load of people showed up all at once and turned the line into a huge mob. And some people were able to slyly force their way to front because of it.
