11:20 - The shotgun reload *is* slow, but it's my favorite because it's the only weapon in the game that you can partially reload, meaning you can fire at any point during the reload cycle. If an enemy rushes you while you're reloading, just put in what you can and start shooting. Makes for really fun and chaotic moments when you're up against a ton of enemies and you can only afford to load two or three shells at a time. (Also, you can "top off" the shotgun by reloading early. The Reload key is R by default I think?) Anyway, I'm glad you're having fun! I think you'll love Halo 2 if you keep going in the series. Halo 2's remastered/updated graphics are *amazing*. So more faithful that Halo 1's.
