We love...
...that guns float downstream
Hard to pick out among the whizzing bullets, speeding vehicles and bunny-hopping rivals, but if your lifeless body slumps into the waters of Valhalla's riverbed, your equipment will actually drift slowly away. We only noticed it when a rocket launcher literally washed into our lap. Magic.
...'goosing the mancannon
These fun gravity catapults are great for hurling you into battle - though you'll probably be speared before completing your graceful arc. Our favourite use for them, though, is to straddle a Mongoose, pick a long run-up and then speed into it. Extra points if you can roll or flip on the way down.
...explosive Warthogs
When a Warthog hurtles up a rock formation and right over your head, it's impressive. When a Warthog flies over you and detonates in mid-air, scattering shrapnel, motor parts, passengers and weapons in all directions in a burst of flame and smoke, it's amazing.
...seeing our own feet
Alright, so hardly back-of-box stuff. But there's something strangely... pleasing about looking down as the mancannon launches you across a level and seeing Master Chief's power-suited legs dangling away. It gives you a real sense of his existence in the world. And it made us chortle.
