I plumbed for one of my all time favourite game characters, Private Augustus "Cole Train" Cole, in his Thrash Ball outfit equipped with a Hammerburst and sawn off shotgun skinned up in a grey/black camo print. I didn't actually get time to cycle through all of them before the round started but one guy next to me had a really cool looking Lancer that looked like it had its chainsaw bayonet dipped in Lambent to a point where it was almost melting with glowing edges. I frowned slightly, as I wanted that one.

The map loads up, checkout won the vote and I quickly hit start to invert my y axis -- little did I know the console I was on was the host though and it seemed to pause everybody else's game, so people were not happy with me. The map was indoors, mostly dark with beams of light shooting through broken windows and cracks in the roof and was a pretty symmetrical map with teams spawning at either end. When it comes to the controls and moving around the map not much (if anything) has changed -- hold A to sprint, take cover and hop over walls; B stays as the melee option; X is still for swapping weapons and picking up ammo but I noticed that the button needs to be held down for a few seconds, and RB remains as reload although active reloading did seem a bit trickier than what I remember... either that or I was just rusty.
