No one's playin' it? I'm a Halo fan and I'll admit, the Beta doesn't blow you away with game changing new features, but there are certainly some cool new dynamics. The bubble shield is awesome, esp. with territories and KOTH, few things are better than sittin' in your nice protective bubble shield taking over a territory, then timing a beatdown or stick and jump on someone coming into your bubble. The return of the assualt rifle is certainly a good thing, no more sticking it out with an SMG. They show off 4 new tools in the demo, the bubble shield, ari lift, trip mine, and discharge, all are very cool and useful, I don't look at any of them as fluff. The ATV however is a bit of fluff not a lot of difference from the Warthog other than it has no turret and is smaller. All in all I'm pretty excited about it, I certianly wish the graphics blew me away, but they don't by any means sadly. I can't blame em for not trying to compeltely reivent the wheel with so much success as it is, they certainly don't want to tank the title with a bad new change, God of War didn't comepletely change and it turned out as an awesome title, I think Halo is trying to do the same kind of thing.

Just downloaded it last night - I think it's pretty fun so far. I haven't played Halo for months now so I had to take some time to get adjusted to it again.
