idk how they choose who gets an email. I've Halo 2, but not multiplayer because it kept making me redownload the maps. I don't have one. Let me check my other account. Is it access to the beta before ODST owners get the beta?
When playing Hardcore, I use the EBR because there is very little recoil. When playing everything else though the 50 cal. My favorite scope would have to be the ACOG scope even though I just use FMJ on each of them with variation of heartbeat and silencer. In my opinion, they should have maxed out the 50 cals damage but made the rate of fire slower. Because in real life, if you shot a guy in the chest with a 50 caliber round, it rip him in half.
I think I know what your problem was about the video. It was easy to tell that is wasnt real because of one thing: The resolution was too good. I know it sounds strange but it's true. Halo 3 was in 640P. Modern Warfare 2 was 600P. Halo Reach was estimated to be 720P. Your video was 1080P I think. Video games aren't that good of quality yet. Render it in a lower quality then use Sony Vegas and render the second video in 1080P and it will look awesome.
Considering since America was undefeated until then and did that good against a country that has Hockey as the biggest sport, I think America did very good.
For Nintendo's sake, they need third-party developers. I'm not a big fan of the "new" Nintendo that it has become but if they want to keep people and attract more people to the console, they need third-party developers. I loved the "old" nintendo. The Nintendo that had amazing games, like Star Fox 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros 64, and Super Mario Bros. They keep trying to make those games more "modern game-like" but it really is just taking away from what they used to be.
