Holy ****, the stat tracking is awsome, never seen it before. A really cool feature, man i wish other games done the same.

Where have you been? Halo 2 has had the same stat tracking for 2 years..

Someone said something about a shield in the last page. Am I missing something obvious!?

bubble shield? surely you've not missed that? it's awesomeness in a funky wierd cyber dildonics type fashion. chuck it and whoooomp, instant shield.

Regarding teams - it tells you which colour you are before the game starts. Lists every player and their team. Exactly the same as Halo2 from what I can see.

I think we were all just too excited to be side-tracked by minute details such as team colour.

Where have i been? Not playing Halo, tbh i have never really been into Halo, ive always preffered more realistic FPS games, Ghost Recon and Rainbow but im well into this now.

Yeah, and then the icons above the heads are the opposite colour, that was what was getting me. "I'm red, that's a red player, no, it's a blue player, argh, I'm dead". Etc.

Team mates's icons are always blue, with enemy tags in red. Simple as that.

Oh! That explains some of my confusion last night during our little territories stint...

[fishbowlhead]

my socks have stayed firmly in place bungie.

Oh yeh Ive used that, I thought they were implying an actual shield like the type some of the baddies in Halo 2 had. (I cant remember what they were called, so baddies will do :P )

I find all the extras a bit tacked on, and theres no time to use them. If I just worry about killing and not being killed then I will do my best without all these nancy add ons!

[Yoshimax]

so whats the problem?

Opposite team ALWAYS have red naming above their heads regardless of whether they're blue or red.

Don't see the prob myself I'm just always looking for red hud indicators or text !

You gonna be on tonight mate??

I want to ensure I put a few bullets in your face for calling the bubble shield 'nancy' hehe. It has saved my MJOLNIR coated life many a time over the last few days.

Oh, and the mines are far from 'nancy'... playing a team single bomb game last night and just before I get killed by 3 assaulting enemies I use my last sliver of life to drop a mine beside my corpse, first guy misses it, second guys sees it and avoids, but 3rd guy carrying the bomb gets too close to it and BOOM all 3 dead and I get a triple kill from the grave now, if you ask me that is SPARTAN hardness if ever I seen it... Leonidas would have been proud
