I dont mean to seem ungrateful, but bungie seemed to indicate a cavalcade of new info. I guess that was a lot of info. Ah well, more to uncover when I actually play the game.

ever heard of the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" well that was a nine minute video and there was probably at least a few hundred thousand frames and then there was sound and all so if my uneducated guessing serves me right thats what........... like a couple hundred million words. come on guys that video showed us a crap load of info be greatful they could have showed us nothing.

yeah but thats a DEMO, gameplay is quite different, and i enjoy that 20 sec video a lot more than that geeky demo - some geeky quotes - "take it!" "BAM!" "Anti son of a -blam!- stick!"

There's also one that's 11 minutes and 47 seconds long over at Gamespy. It even has that guy showing his tatoo of the release date at the very end.

Exactly. Its just an extended version of the demo, and the only parts that are extended are the beginning and end. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Who doesn't want more? I've also noticed a lot about multiplayer as well, like when you look down you can see the Master Chiefs legs (probably the same with the Elite). But I have also found some questions, like what are those symbols over other players? I think I read somewhere that they are Clan symbols, like the ones on your armor. Also, there are other symbols, like if you watch the demo video with Joe Statten and Max (?). After Joe fires off a rocket, a little blue circle appears under the firing retical with 3 dots in it. This must mean that you can now reload or that you are reloading. Also, when he was completely out of ammo, a red circle appeared with a line through it, probably meaning that you have no ammo left.

Oh and about the plasma sword. Deep down I really wanted it to be like in the E3 2003 video at the end, you know, when the Elites land by the Chief and they bring out their plasma swords. It would have been so sweet when you pick up the plasma sword that you flick it to life. But now that i think about it, maybe this is for the best. I dont think anyone would be able to notice a little handle across the map. Having the entire sword just out and ready and easy to see is a much better idea.

Well, anyway, those are just some things i noticed in the videos.
