here here!!
Bring forth the gaming events to the fair city of BrisVegas, at least that way its only a five-hour drive, not a daunting 18-20 hour drive (there is one airport where i live and it barely goes to sydney)

Yeah ODST will be enjoyed by a lot more gamers as it isn’t as frantic and run and gun as the previous Halo games where you played as Master Chief..

ODST has a sense of consequence and steady pace. If you run and gun chances are you’ll die.

Another reason would be that a normal person can’t aim properly, while keeping the auto weapons (SMGs) from riding up. And aiming two pistols, accurately, is pretty hard. I think people will enjoy ODST more, if they stop trying to compare it to playing as a Spartan.

Ahh thanks for clearing that one up Grimpalot.. I had not heard anything about them dual wielding or not dual wielding so when i saw it i was like woah!!

But at least that clears up something for me Doesn’t bother me the slightest but was interesting to see

ODSTs can’t dual-wield because only the Mark VI armour can track the ammo count of two weapons at the same time.

So jealous…

Why why WHY are all these events always in Sydney?!

Bring some to Brisbane, I say! After all, pretty much all the game development in Australia is split between Melbourne and Brisbane. =P

Looks like it was an amazing event. Can’t wait to see the interview with Curtis, it’ll be great to hear one of Bungie’s own talking about his game instead of the usual Microsoft PR guys.
