I haaave! Team Deathmatch, can't remember the level name but there was a big ole laser thing firing in the centre of it.
Just felt like Halo, no whopping annoying changes that I could see.
Obvious improvements that hit me first were that the Graphics are a lot nicer than any previous Halo, and the battle rifle felt considerably easier to use.
There was a death cam that could be quickly skipped, and ammo/kit drops that you could choose after 5 consecutive kills, but it didn't really alter the flow in any way.
There was a new Promethean machine gun, with a big circular ammo clip, which seemed like an absolute beast of a weapon. If anything that might need toning down before release, as it seemed too easy to rack up loads of easy kills once you got hold of it.
Come and get it cumslingers!

@Deckard1
If you honestly believe the game would ship with a frame rate like that you need to rethink your life.
Get bent.

RE the Forward Unto Dawn video: IIRC this is the Spartan IVs in the academy. Might be IIIs. Both were a lot younger than the I and IIs (Chief's a II)

Player movement in bf3 much better than halo.

On a separate note. It must be age but I no longer love the grunts, found them funny in halo ce ten years ago but back then it wasn't as serious a tone.
Don't think it would fit any longer if you tagged one and they shouted "oh no, not me again."

I completely appreciate what you're saying about the Mirrors Edge-style movement of BF3 and I too have often wondered what Halo might be like it it went down that route, but the reality and truth is the "floaty" heft of Halo is a fundamental part of what makes Halo a hugely emergent experience as opposed to a tightly controlled mechanical one. In Halo, the player takes aim - with reliable accuracy - on the ground, in the air and sometimes whilst urgently pivoting down on a target - even as the aiming player leaps onto an offscreen ledge, rock or walkway; the movement mechanics allow for killing and platforming on fly - something BF3 does not. In that game, you either take aim at an enemy or you climb over a wall. Halo on the other hand allows and encourages both actions at the same time.
That's why Halo is unique and it's also the reason I get annoyed with CoD heads who don't seem to have the ability to discern and appreciate such finely tuned spontaneous gameplay design.
