Fortunately, we're here to take you down the road less travelled. Of course, in two days time you'll be able to discover these nuggets yourself (and, no doubt, even more). But until Bungie's epic threequel is launched to an eager - nay, baying - public, you can enjoy our six mini Halo info-snippets...

Depending on whether you move the stick up or down at this instruction, the game automatically knows if you invert the controls or not. Clever!
