Dammit, Bungie! (Part deux)

So, Bungie put out a video of the multiplayer gameplay for Halo: Reach. Now, after Halo: ODSt(Also known as Halo 3+1/2), I fully expected this thing to look a lot like the rest: all machine guns, rocket launchers and swords.

Then I saw the video. They still have the rocket launchers and swords and automatic weaponry (as well as the gravity hammer, which should infuriate some diehard fanboys), but there seemed like some intriguing new weapons. One that I'm a bit excited to use looks like a battle rifle, and seems to fire like a guass cannon from Halo 2. They also decided to put in more awesome assassinations (not sure how this will factor into time spent killing), which should make for nice movies. Then I saw it. Jetpacks.

S**t.

Yes, Halo decided to include jetpacks in the game, upping its awesome factor by at least 10337%, which does not bode well for my social life, or for anyone else's. Reach is shaping up to be a really good game, provided Bungie doesn't f**k it up with prequel shenanigans, like George Lucas did. I can assure you, however, that good or bad, many people's social lives will be obliterated by this game.

Look ma! I can embed videos now!
