    I made the change. Added "The Inception" now. You should have a request by Rocket786.

    Only thing I don't like about the game is the jumping.

    A little late, but good timing to finish before Reach. I thought ODST was a solid game, and enjoyed the single player campaign the most after Halo 1. The narrative was much easier to follow than the gibberish of Halo 2 and Halo 3. I'm hearing Reach is similar in this aspect. :)

    Oh and the Firefight mode was an absolute blast!

    Flying back From the Reach release party last night at Bungie. Their new building is incredible. jaw dropping. Got to get into some LAN parties they had setup as well. Game looks awesome.

    Finished ODST in one day last weekend, had not played it before then. Pretty good stuff.

    My son has been climbing the walls for the pre-order of Reach, and Heaven help me if it is not delivered until 7PM or something crazy like that

    LOL

    Now this is a surprise considering it's coming from you! I loved SFIV and played it for a good while online, until I ranked up and reached a point where every game I ended up playing was going to be an ass whopping for me... Great game and extremely deep none the less. From what I hear, SSFIV is better in every aspect. Considering how much you love the Street Fighter games, I think you should definitely put some time into that game.

    Mass Effect 2 is much better than part 1 game play wise, but I felt the overall story was considerably weaker than the first game with less scope and emotion than the first game. Hopefully Mass Effect 3 has the best of both worlds.

    Wasnt planning on buying this game...but on my way home tonight, I said, "what the f%&*"...and bought it.

    Played a couple hours in Team Slayer...I forgot how much more skill is involved in this game than Modern Warfare 2.

    My K/D is below 1, fml.

    I definitely would not say that Call of Duty requires less skill; it is an entirely different game. It certainly requires a different type of playstyle, and awareness -- that doesn't necessarily mean more skill. Halo is much faster, that's for sure.

    Um, what is there to not understand? The online gameplay is probably the best out of any FPS right now (IMO).

    Edit: stupid predictive text.

    Let me guess, you suck at it like me? ;)

    As a ****ty online player, I LOVE the campaign and firefight. There is something for everyone here, casual and crazy...

    Well, to be great players in both games, it takes plenty of skill...

    But, an average gamer will have much more success in Call of Duty than in Halo. Ive seen it a hundred times over.

    Before MW2, I had played maybe 7 or 8 hours of COD4 multiplayer...and that was the extent of my COD gaming. I have a 1.46 K/D in MW2. Im not saying thats good by any means, but I literally just picked up this game and started shooting away. Take cover, spray some bullets, and your opponent is dead.

    On the other hand, I put in probably 200+ hours of Halo 3...and I struggle more in Reach than in COD. Same goes for just about everyone I game with. None of us are MLG pros...we are just casual gamers. When a gun in COD takes 2 bullets to kill, its much easier for an average person to pull that off than it is for that same person to pull off a grenade throw, jump in the air, fire the assault rifle, then end the attack with a melee. Just, overall, getting a kill in Halo takes more skill...for the average gamer.
