Cover system = awesome.

Looks like the lighting is finally respectable too.

Man oh man...

Lighting effects and shadows look way better, even on that crappy video.

Okay. I can't say lighting was something I paid much attention to in the series. Noticeable was the cars took a decent beating and kept going (One rolled, I believe).

I can see myself pulling the same Halo **** for my passengers only with greater success now. I'll be driving in reverse out of bad situations left and right.

We live in an amazing time, gentlemen.

I can't verify because I'm at work, but apparently this is a live stream of gameplay. How hilarious is that?

I guess I should have purchased a Wii if I didn't want to buy an awesome game every couple of months.

Wrong thread, dick.

Taunting goes in the general thread.

So apparently the stream has been suspended, but he's going to be on playing later.

I did notice it said intermitted under the window.

the wonderful banter/trash talk has joined the GTA thread, it seems it evolved and migrated from the Halo 3 thread

I can't wait to put up a "Be Back Soon" graphic on the Halo thread.

I haven't played it since Saturday, and I doubt I would except for the DoubleXP weekend.

Which reminds me.... So I guess all those fancy awards and medal graphics you made are going to waste, eh?

Actually, I meant to put them up this week. As far as I'm concerned the NNGP is officially called.

Damn! And the Chocolate Dragons were holding back until the last race(s) to really show you fools how to drive.

I haven't played Halo in a while either. I got RSV2 now, so I'm going to be all up in that until GTA4. (but i'm always up for a Halo NN meetup if it happens to happen)

mmmmmmmyesss
