Every freakin' thing!!! I have never been so excited for the release of a game in my life! Anyways, specifically, here a short list of the things I loved about the MP movie.

-That first shot of the SMG; even in low res the shine and detail on the gun looked stunning!
-Elites using human weapons in multiplayer; just to make the MP fair I guess they had to do that, I hope this translates into the single player game
-destructable everything!-I know we told about this but seeing it really got me excited; the possibilities!
-Graphics in general; Wow. Best I've seen on the box, bumpmapping perfection!
-The hubcap; just Bungie paying attention to detail, one of the things that made Halo my favorite game of all time!

Anyways, the video didn't really present us with anything we didn't know already, but it was fantastic to see it in action! November won't come soon enough!

Prediction: one month before release, Bungie will release a multiplayer demo that you can buy with OXM. One map, and all the fun in the world for the ones fortunate enough to have Xbox live.

It probably won't translate into the single player game because story-wise, Covenant hate using our weapons.

However, since multiplayer doesn't follow the story, there's no reason they shouldn't use Elites in multi

Hold on. Are we talking about the E3 footage about that Max dude (the elite) being a test dummy, or some other footage?

They did. Well hopefully they have bots so your's truly can play the exciting new maps.
Any other cool observations about the movie that people want to share? I want to know what I missed and what aspects people are looking forward to...

Oh, ok. Because earlier someone said something about shooting a grunt in the head at point blank, and I thought I was missing something.

That was an awesome movie. My favorite part was the sword. I had no idea how they were going to implement a strictly melee weapon like that, but the charge attack is the perfect solution and is totally badass. My question is, does the charge work from across levels as long as you have the enemy in your crosshairs? I can imagine some serious mileage from targeting your friendlies in large maps.

One thing that's been absent from all of the demo movies is the sprint mode. How's that going to work?

I bet that they're still working on that.

Did you notice that they didn't show the needlers ammo indicator as well as the SMGs when the SPARTAN duel wielded? Do you think they will include that or not?

Good point. I noticed that the elite's movements from walking to running didn't have the inbetween animation Frankie mentioned they were working on. Maybe the running animation isn't complete yet or maybe they're saving that for the actual multiplayer match demo they said they where having. It's something I'd like to see anyway.

Hey ya, no needler ammo indicator. Good eye. I also noticed the writing on the screen that tells you how to pick things up etc...didn't they say that was going to change?

I don't think so, I never heard about that, but you could be right.

Everything was good about it, but the vehicle dmg was rushed in my opinion. I wish they really showed the warthog after it took that rocket. All we got was about 1 second befor it passed MC and he started blasting it again. I wana see the detail of the engine on fire (it was on fire right?). Also, i wish Max flew the ghost around more while it was totaly trashed, instead of MC just hurrying it along to destroy it. Max got out way before he really needed to.

Oh yea and i love the way nuns have been added to the music, like at the end of it as well as the original teaser trailer. Truely fitting music.

It looks bigger because the stocks is extended when your only holding one. When your dualweilding the stocks are closed
edit: And no they don't have six months.. Remember they have to mass produce the game.
