Halo for PC

Hell yeah.

Those among us who curse Microsoft for making Halo a Xbox-only release are now dancing around the room shouting "Praise the lord!!" and waving their arms wildly above their head. I only just found out how long the PC edition of Halo has been around, and spent 4 hours downloading a copy of the trial version. This is what we have been waiting for. Instantly, there is BANG! theme tune, BANG! awesome multiplayer, BANG! four letters which, when ordered how they are now, spells the one word which changed our lives. Finally, a good turn.

As 90's graphics goes, this is sweet. Clear, if not slightly blocky, colours are present, theme tune is awesome, jackal tactics actually make sense (evidently microsoft forgot how to do that when Reach came out), plasma burns, huge, fastloading maps, and most of all, FUEL ROD GUNS! (Sorry, personal favourite) I just can't get enough of this aesomeness. Loving it already, dudes and dudettes.

All this had happened before I noticed the Multiplayer button on the right.

16 players can seamlessly operate from halfway across the world, firing and mauling, CTF-ing and Slaying, an we've only got the trial version. Hundreds of gamers play, and that again in weapons, space and customisable options are present. No forge (sigh) but it isn't needed. The trial version of this game is pure awesomeness on it's own, and I would love to see the full game in action.
