dimwitted Sucka

okay, i'm pretty much talking to myself here, but i thought i'd finish off this thread anyway. i went and took the plunge, traded in 6 old games and got gr2 last night. all i can say is, this is one gorgeous looking game. the ots viewpoint is sweet, graphics much improved from gr, and the feel of movement is way more natural now. it's going to take a little time to get used to it, but this game clearly has a lot going for it against halo2 (e.g. strategy is more than just "who can get to the sweet weapon first). i haven't played online yet, have decided that i'll work on the sp for a litt

sorry, a couple of other questions i forgot to ask in my original post: 1) does the OTS view work well in firefights or is it best to switch back to FP view once you know where the person is? 2) do mp games usually (or always) involve multiple spawning or is it one death per round? 3) what kinds of games are there (conquest? ctf? new ones?) and what are the most common/fun to play? 4) can you switch the thumbsticks to "southpaw" configuration (i.e. move/strafe on the right, turn/look on the left)? thanks!

i can't rent this game because my stupid video store doesn't have a copy (worst video game store ever). i've watched a couple of the trailers on ign and it looks pretty sweet. but, i didn't like the first gr. i found the graphics to be kind of crap and the movement to be stilted and unnatural. i was reading the ign review and it said that people that didn't like the first gr may find they really like the new one, so i was hoping to hear some more comments to see if i should buy this game. btw, i'm only interested in mp. i won't play sp at all most likely. any comments on gameplay s
