: - This is the best first impression I've had with halo multiplayer as far as
: "feel" is concerned. One of the pillars of halo for me is
: movement and the sprinting, clambering, jumping all just feels right. I
: get to where I want to and I find myself using the map a lot to get kills

I was really happy when Reach introduced sprint to Halo. That, and assassinations made the game feel much more visceral. The new movement options are really fun for me.
I can't seem to master the Spartan Charge, but Ground Pound, ridiculous though it may be, is incredibly satisfying when it works. Mostly I slam into the ground far away from the player I was going for, and am subsequently terminated. Those make the kill cam useful; it's pretty funny watching my Spartan smash in to the ground for no reason.

Mostly, the kill cam annoys me, so I was pleased to find that you can skip it by pressing X. Also there is a brief musical number when you die, and I'd rather not hear that....because I die a lot. It is also mostly skipped when you skip the kill cam.

: - The guns feel great and different and have found that there isn't one gun
: yet that I need to. I do tend to make sure I have a BR or DMR, but if I
: don't it's not an issue, I still feel effective with the starting Magnum
: and AR.

I've been having trouble with the new scopes and ADS; it's a very different feel from traditional Halo scopes. Which isn't bad, just hard for me to get used to.

: I hope you all are enjoying it as much as I have.

Arena MP is fun, but I'm looking forward to BTB in the final version. I need a 'hog to drive badly.
