Our team of amazing interns also had stuff to say... amazing stuff. And one of them wowed the forum crowd with her amazing skills. It was her very first time playing, which shows you how similar Halo 3 is to Halo 2.
GamesRadarShaun (3:57 PM): Shaun the lowly intern here. I've had a few opportunities to spell Brett and Charlie during their marathon. A few of my thoughts:
- The bubble shield looks a lot cooler than it really is. You can still run into it and shoot the guy inside, or just go for the beatdown. Really, the only cool thing about it is pretending that you're an Eskimo living inside an igloo.
- Teammates don't like it when you get on voice chat and demand that they "commit to excellence."
- I've played like ten matches and not once has the snow level come up. This makes it very hard to pretend to be an Eskimo.
- It turns out that the X button being intended for "use of special equipment" wasn't just a euphemism for "dedicated teabagging button" after all. Damn.
- The term "man cannon" could have gone through a little more focus testing
- Oh right, the actual gameplay. It's pretty fun!
GamesRadarTyler (5:44 PM): Girls will kick your ass. At least this one will. One of our resident video interns, Lizzie, shows off her Halo skills and grabs a Machinegun Turret. I mean skillz. Sorry.

Cannony stunts. None of you can sleep until you've done this:
Stellar Blade director jokes the action RPG "is the outcome of my creative dictatorship," but "everyone pretends to listen to what I say whilst creating what they want"
The Stellar Blade dev team had a "competition" to see who could beat a boss first: "From that moment, all of us understood how to design the combat"
Russell Crowe is a pretend priest plagued by very real demons in the creepy first trailer for new horror movie The Exorcism
