Why should they? Everyone else does it from Nintendo to Sony to EA. Thats like saying stop with the Mario or Zelda stuff, or Stop with the Killzone trailers.

PS you have a right to your opinion, however 10 million people who are going to buy Halo 3 strongly disagree.

While I agree to your agreement on Halo's extreme mediocrity, it is nevertheless a billion dollar franchise. Companies will not let something like that go.

There and many other series (such as Tony Hawk) that are not only truly milked, but milked way more severely than Halo. But to be honest with you, wake up. I guess you haven't noticed but this is the state of the game industry in modern day. If a publisher finds themselves with a high selling I.P., sequels are highly likely to follow. Take a look around.

Well I guess you could always, oh I don't know, just not buy those things. I mean it's not like you can't just buy a regular edition copy of Halo 3 or the 'plain jane' 360. I don't know why people get so worked up over these things since it really doesn't affect them in the least.

Anyway Halo Wars looks awesome and I'd actually probably really dig a Halo kart racing style game myself.

Halo kart racing? I'd say, bring it on.

An 8.2 game is still worth milking.

I would have to disagree. Why wouldn't you "milk" a game that has earned you millions of dollars. Each halo game earns more and more profits than the previous one, and for that reason, they decide to continue making them...

I agree with that,plus...milking???Look at Nintendo and what they did with Mario and Link who once stood for High-Quality-Games.The Games are not even near the level the once where.Or Capcom...I just say Street Fighter 2....

All Bungie does is Franchise,and if the people want Francise,Franchise means MONEY,and MONEY is what the Companies want.All Companies.

I´m not really a Fan of Halo and whould give it maximum 8.5,but Halo Wars seems like a not bad idea since it´s made by a Company who already made some said-to-be-good games (never played them myself)

Umm.. don't buy the stuff then? It obviously isn't targeted at you. And I agree on the 8.2 part :) Maybe even less.. certainly not a 9.7.

The games themselves are spread apart and not really milking anything, but the press conference was a little nauseating in its reverance of all things Halo. The corny band playing the theme music, the live action short, introducing a Halo themed 360, comparing it to the Star Wars trilogy.. we get it. Microsofts most important IP is Halo. But it's not their only IP, and not everyone who owns a 360 is just waiting for it to become their Halo machine.

My thoughts exactly. Im just wondering what Microsoft is going to do after Halo 3. How many spin offs can they do? .

May Halo good or bad,it was the most selling console-exclusive game last gen.It´s natural they do what they can to keep the sales up.Everyone whould do that.Look at Pokémon...equal if you like it or not,it works.

They will milk halo as much as they want, as long as 8 year olds keep buying it. I bet they can release a Master Dumbass costume for halloween that cost $200 and the kids would still buy (or the parents) it.

Yeah, 3 games (of the highest quality) in 6 years is milking. The special 360 is a bit much but the special edition games arn't milking, I'm happy they are doing it as I'll buy/ have bought them. You want milking. Try (with multiple versions of some game ideas): Mario Party Mario Strikers Mario Baseball Mario Basketball Mario 64 DS Paper Mario Mario and Sonic at the Olypics Sunshine Galaxy New Super Mario Brothers Mario and Donkey Kong Mario and Luigi Mario Tennis Mario Golf Mario Dance Stage Mario Ball Mario Pinball Mario Advance Super Mario World All in the same time frame, plus acesories like wallets, shirts, consoles, console holders etc. What next, Mario Kart?! http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searchtype=allproducts&searchstring=mario&page=search&pa=search&go.x=0&go.y=0

/\Lol. But, you can't really bag out Microsoft for comerciallising Halo. Nintendo does it (Mario Kart, SSB) and so does nearly everyone else. Oh, and BTW, Halo was originally an RTS, its just a chance for Bungie to make what they where going to make.

You missed out sooo much...it´s unbeliveable....there are so many games most people don´t know.Mariofor the CD-I,Mario Land,the Wario Games (Spin-offs of MLand 2),Mario and Donkey Kong,...Mario is Missig (yeah.was AWFUL),several learning games....I think Mario is the most milked franchise ever...and the last really good game which was based on the original gameplay was Super Mario World,in part 2 you played Yoshis (but it was a really awesome game)...Mario 64 was nice but not really good the day it came out and Mario Sunshine was a sad joke thanks to the camera.

Yeah, why should corporations act like corporations? Dude, the fact is, Van Gough isn't creating these games, a coprorate company is, and that's unfortunate, if they could make 8,000,000 dollars in a week for making Halo 4 starring and using the likeness are Danny DeVito and it takes place in the sewers of Chinatown San Francisco, California, they would.

I don't care about the marketing question from the OP, rather his statement pertaining to Halo's quality. This goes for everyone else who has echoed his statement in this thread: Did you guys even play Halo? Not going to mention Halo 2 because if you played that one but not the original, you're just plain stupid. But yea, did you? Halo stands as one of the greatest games ever made based entirely on it's single player and the time of it's release. No serious gamer can possibly challenge me on that. You can try, but you'd identify yourself as having an ignorance level on par with that of someone who doesn't even know Half-Life 2 exists so don't do it.

Yup Sony doesnt milk anything *cough* Final Fantasy *cough*Before I get flamed I know FF started on Nintendo and is made by a third party dev. but they all are ending up on Sony consoles and thats what I call milking.

The original Halo blew me away the first time I played it (right after the Xbox release at a friend's house) and I'm sure Halo 3 will too. Not only is Halo one of the most successfull videogame franchises but it is also one of the most critically acclaimed. We get it, some people don't like Halo. I don't like Final Fantasy (also milked dry) but you don't see me bashing it at any chance. So the millions of people who have played Halo are 8 and have no taste in games? Give me a break. So stop with the Halo bashing because no one cares anymore.

Mario

Zelda

Pokemon

Final Fantasy

Tony Hawk

All of these games have produced tons of more games than Halo. Complain about any one of them, Bungie has released or announced only 4 Halo games.
