I am so happy to see an actual change in the gender besides the voice of death :P Basically I like the variety. Also firefight is back!? HOOAH TO THAT! I simply loved it in Halo 3: ODST and cannot wait to play more of it in the past! Also on that note, I was watching a trailer for the new firefight and it shows brutes in it... I am a little concerned as to how this will fit into the storyline however am positive Bungie will do a brilliant job explaining why and how to the public when the time is right. The only thing I would add is one giant space sling-shot that shot traitors/ team killers into the local star in the system ;) Thanks for the update! -CM
