Very, very cool. That map looks really cool guys. The Spiker gun thing weapon something or other sounds cool, and major props if the needlers are being pumped up a little bit to receive the glory they rightfully deserve. Though they've never been the strongest, or most used, I feel like they were probably the most intricate weapon you guys must have had to work on, being that they follow, and slowly build up inside the target, and then explode. Good to see all that designing will pay off now hopefully. I hope the Highground map is the Beta version we might get to download, if that still happens. It's new, it's awesome, need I say more.
Also, bought Gears of War, and it killed the Halo 2 tournie I was holding at my house. We were all having fun playing CTF, and then we decided to put in GOW. Halo 2 stopped and looked around for its players, like a child left in the grocery store calling for their mother. It was quite sad actually. People are saying it's Halo's rival, but don't worry Bungie. Though it truly is amazing, you guys still come first at least for me. GOW wins in exciting new fight system, the controls are intricate yet simplistic, and the graphics are truly off the hook, but you guys rule in storyline and music, and I don't think any other game will beat that. I'm so excited now, gaming is reaching it's greatest height, what with Peter Jackson's Halo game, Halo Wars, Halo 3, GOW 2 (someday), and numerous others, I can't wait to see what's in store. Keep it up Bungie...
Oh, and a third person view like GOW would be cool, but it would mess up MP for first-person people I think. Guns on the back is way too cool, I really hope that stays Bungie.
