Re: black arrow

My impressions so far through about an hour of online play:
Positives:
-Total Conquest is a blast, and really has a ton of strategy. Things happen so quickly, you really need a good plan. You can't just all follow each other anymore, as then you'll leave one or two sattelites wide open.

For those who don't know about it, there are 3 satellites in the level. Your team needs to control them all at the same time for 20 seconds. If time runs out, there isn't a draw, but I'm not quite sure how they determine the winner. It might just be whoever had the most when time ran out, or maybe they use some other stat

-I only played a little bit of the retrieval mode (capture the flag) and it was tough not knowing the map at all. I can't imagine it won't be fun once you learn the maps

-Gameplay is mostly the same, which I guess is a good thing. I didn't have any major problems with it

-Before each game starts, you get however much time the host decides to talk with just your team. It also shows you a diagram of the map, and where all the points you need to know are

Negatives:
-Spawn killing is a problem. I played a Total Conquest game where someone on their team just stood behind the spot we spawned and would take us out with one shot before we could move. I really wish they would give you a couple seconds of invincibility after you respawned

-I've had a few problems connecting to games. Numerous games said they had spots available, only to tell me they were full after I tried to join. I also got disconnected right after joining a few games. And one other time, after the game started it wouldn't let me move. I could turn my head, reload, change weapons, but couldn't move or shoot the entire game.

Other than that, I'm really happy so far. I expect to be playing this at least until Halo 2 comes out.
