As i type this, we have roughly 2-3 days remaining to play through it.
[u]My personal first impressions are:[/u]
• Quite slow paced and not much auto-aim (not a bad thing)
• [b]Not being a Halo veteran, it took me a little while to get used to the controls, switched to bumper jumper - what are you using? also what sensitivity?[/b]
• The Titan is stupidly fun (OBJ role) not suprising as we're only playing Control right now (Fist of Havok those flags). The Hunter is also very fun (Slayer role) - but the Warlock (Support role) is left behind a little (probably because we can't use it's large array of supers yet)
Not much else to report right now, although overall i am quite impressed. Would have preferred 60fps but it doesn't really make much difference, when the action isn't constant 30fps holds up just fine. All in all - addictive stuff.
Thoughts?...

I love it. My hype started to fall a bit around holiday time from lack of new info or other environments, but playing the alpha rebooted my love and excitement. I am playing the Hunter and enjoying the hell out of it (mostly because of throwing knives), and can't wait for the full beta and release.

Like you said, addictive! Having a blast with my buddies :)
