Video brings up some cool stuff.

Also, I really like that they have a Cyclops in the multiplayer map Warhouse. Shows that Halo Wars isn't being neglected.

Little confused with Halo reach. If I finish a level than go check how much points I get, it's 0, but if I quite to main menu in the middle of a level, I get like 600 points +. How does that work ?

The same happens to me a lot. I think they still award you the credits during the level, but for some reason they aren't able to display it at the end. Not sure though.

That was actually really good. I enjoyed it a lot.

Just curious; what would guys say has been more influential in the FPS genre: CoD or Halo?

Personally, I would say Halo at the beginning, but nowadays its more Call of Duty. Halo is the game that kickstarted the genre on consoles, made online console gaming popular, and was solely responsible for the majority of XBox/XBox 360 sales. Without Halo, COD probably wouldn't be what it is now. That is not to say that COD is without its own merits though. COD innovated and essentially inspired a new way to play, introducing perks and special features that went on to inspire a ton of other games. I think COD is even in part inspiring a tiny bit of Halo's multiplayer now (AAs in Reach, whatever the new stuff in 4 is going to be).

I short, I think Halo started everything, and is my personal preferred game, but COD has more influence over the genre now.

I have a question about the Armor Abilities in Reach. Reading about them on Halopedia, I came across one called "Evade". Now, I've seen the Elites use this in campaign, but it says here that both Elites and Spartans should be able to use it in multiplayer. But in all the games I've played with friends, none of us have found it. It is something that can only be found online or do you have to unlock it?

I think it depends on what map you're on. I recall using it a few times in one of the Big Team Battle maps, but I don't really remember.

I hope so, I ain't doing levels on nightmare for nothing.

Hmmm. I couldn't say which is more influential than the other at the moment but I know that both have made significant contributions to the genre. I wouldn't know at th moment how to justify it with words but I believe to understand what I mean you would have to play the very first CoD and Halo then play MW3 and Halo Reach.

The first and second Modern Warfares, easily. Halo hasn't really held an influence since Halo 2.

Halo 2 seems to have made dual-wielding popular for what it's worth. It was a big selling point in the E3 trailer when it debuted.

I think the most common playlist to find it on is "Invasion". I think Elites always spawn with it in that game type.
