Halo is the biggest tragedy of modern gaming

In the beginning there was a game called Halo CE.... and it was good.....a little too good, everyone played it, both SP and MP.. When it came to making Halo 2, bungie really looked like they wanted to outdo them self's... remember the E3 presentation of Halo 2? Thats until MS stepped in, You see they saw the potential in halo 2 to be an even bigger cash cow, how so?

During the development of halo 2, MS was pimping out this thing called xbox live... They saw how popular halo's MP was and new that they could make there customer,s not only pay 50$ for the game, but another 50$ for xboxlive (and thats just in the first year)... So they forced bungie to concentrate on MP and we ended up with a SP that was a shell of its former glory...

thats why bungie going independent is such great news... i think by now its no secret that what ever dev MS controls turns into utter crap (rare anyone?)... So i say long live independent bungie and Screw MS and screw paying for online.....

EDITplease note that i still consider halo way above average.... just pissed that they focused on MP so much.... PS IM NOT A COW.....

Yeah it did.

Oh, and what about Halo 3? Great SP and MP, and they were still under M$'s unbrella.

do you really have any idea of what you're on about? You and your little ideas about the game when gaming site and gaming magazines have given all 3 of the halo games rave reviews and the sales figures speak for themselves.

On every level the halo games deserve to be with the elite of gaming.

Halo: Lightning in a bottle.

Halo 2: Lightning escapes Bungie as they strangely take away things you loved in the first game. Still good but the weapons all felt limp.

Halo 3: Restores the franchise to its former glory. All is forgiven.

Then what the hell was I playing at LAN parties every weekend for 3 years? And imo Halo2/3 are just mediocre trash compared to the first in prettymuch every way.

The desire to play Halo 3 manifests itself in many ways. Now if you were smart and bought the system with better graphics and games for less money this is no problem. Your desire is satisfied simply when you own the game. However, if your blind brand loyalty led you drop way too much money on the PS3 then you will probably revert to going online and crying about how much you hate Halo.

Text book example is TC. Obviously there are far more horrible games he could be talking about and clearly this is not his intention. Like many foolish cows he is taking the emotion that is a built up combination of buyers remorse and jealousy and venting on complete strangers. Just think, if he bought the 360 he could be off somewhere having fun instead and we all would not have to listen to the baby whine about the mess his ignorance got him into.

Halo CE's SP wasn't really any good.. So I wouldn't say we actully missed anything because of this..

The biggest tragedy in modern gaming is that Halo 2's single player was average?

You're wrong.

The real tragedy is Halo 3 is nothing more than an average game and everyone still blindly praises and eats it all up simply because it's Halo.DucksBrains

You think it's an average game. Millions don't.

I personally think the Final Fantasy series is just average. Millions don't. I accept that it's just my taste that makes it average, not the game itself.

Ohh Ohh i love story time. Halo (1, 2, and 3) Still Kicks Ass.

i think what people need to realize is that halo is done with for now, so enjoy it or notAnimal-Mother

Halo 3 was the end of the Halo story arc not the series. The ending of Halo 3 and the fact that Microsoft kept the rights to the Halo franchise when they let Bungie go should hint that more is coming.

Bungie has said they have no plans to release their games on any other system besides the Xbox at the moment and why would they want too? The vast majority of their fanbase is on the Xbox and the Xbox has the highest software sales.

Timeshift is an average game, the simpsons is an average game. Halo 3 it well above the average game that gets released. It's a game that while not perfect, is a lot of fun, and ends up being a game you go back to. The Sp has never been any good, story is too retarded for words. The multiplayer is great. I play before I go to the bar, or on a lazy Saturday afternoon, Halo is always there. After I've gone through the countless games that have come out like Bioshock, Halo 3 will be the game I'll still be playing 2 years from now.

Who cares if it's the best game ever, or game of the year, or the SP sucks? If the game is fun to play, then the game is fun to play. At this point, who really cares about the scores or hype and all that BS.And for all the threads like this, there are tons of people online every dayplaying this game, so obviouslythere's plenty of people that are satisfied.

Wow dude, your lack of info is stagering! Try reading the accual article. Bungie claims no such thing as to what you say! Bungie makes it very clear that they entend on making most games on xbox360 and future Microsft consoles and there will NEVER be a halo on any console besides that! Bunbie may be independant but they siad themselves the reason for the parting from big M was because they were trying to force them to make another halo and they wanted to focus on another titles for there next game.

You make it sound like bungie has been ruined when bottom line they have the most profitable partnership in gaming history and b/c u say so makes them ruined! LOL take your garbage talk elsewhere! If you going to state something try to state facts im tired of reading halo sucks this microsoft sucks that! Just stop posting on forums about how much you hate a game or a company, instead go make yourself happy playing your playstation or your nintendo!

What has microsoft done to you i ask? besides offer the BEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE ONLINE and truely great games! I dont like sony but that dont mean im going to make threads about it whining like a stuffed pig!

Microsoft didnt ruin Rare! Rare ruined Rare. Microsoft lets there developers take there time specially if there exclusive!

screw paying for online?

I cant get it through my skull how you and stupid cows claim that paying for online is garbage! $50 a year is not that much! You ack like your living in the streets or something! Id rather pay for online then have alot less features and crappy interface, plus i like to download classic arcade games and classic xbox games right to my hardrive, OHH and new released movies and music and dont forget tv shows!

Yeah I'm glad Bungie won't be pushed around by stupid Microsoft, I can't wait till Bungie makes a game for PS3 this will surely make the 360 fans cry :lol:Swift_Boss_A

THEY CANT B/C MICROSOFT OWNS THE FRANCHISE OMG! LEARN VIDEOGAME HOSTORY 101!

Dear god, why don't people get it. Halo is a GOOD game. Not the epitome of the digital age. no. Halo is an 8/10. is that good? Yeah. It has great shooting action, it's fast paced. Originality? None. The plot : Blow crap up in space. Is that fun? yes! The plot doesn't have to be a Shakespearian novel, it just has to work.Halo is like Tropical Fruit Juice. It takes a bunch of games and blends them together.If you like tropical fruit, you give it a 10/10. if you like some of it, the rest kinda blends in so you don't mind 7/10. What if you hate Fruit? THEN DON"T BUY THE ****ING GAME!!! DON"T PUT DOWN 60 DOLLARS FOR A GAME, IF ALL YOUR GONNA DO IS ***** AND MOAN!

Timeshift is an average game, the simpsons is an average game. Halo 3 it well above the average game that gets released. It's a game that while not perfect, is a lot of fun, and ends up being a game you go back to. The Sp has never been any good, story is too retarded for words. The multiplayer is great. I play before I go to the bar, or on a lazy Saturday afternoon, Halo is always there. After I've gone through the countless games that have come out like Bioshock, Halo 3 will be the game I'll still be playing 2 years from now.

Who cares if it's the best game ever, or game of the year, or the SP sucks? If the game is fun to play, then the game is fun to play. At this point, who really cares about the scores or hype and all that BS.And for all the threads like this, there are tons of people online every dayplaying this game, so obviouslythere's plenty of people that are satisfied.

That right there is the tragedy. People are so impressed by a game that for the most part is the same game that was released 6 years ago. The Halo series stagnated and people still eat it up, I can't for the life of me understand why. But then again this is Halo we're talking about, the "Second comming of Jesus" as it would seem. Halo 3 is an underwhelming and dissappointing sequel for the franchise. As for Timeshift, at least I can praise Timeshift for being more out of the box than most FPS clones on the market.

the only LOGICAL thing i can think of when i here u say that hal3 is the same game made 6 years ago! I would truely love to hear why you think this! halo1 is halo1 and halo3 is well halo3! i love the excuses and remarks that are made about this game i keep laughing so hard i really cant help myself comments like that used to make me get so angy i wished i could snatch ppl like u up out of your computer and smack you!

The core gameplay is the same capiche? And snatch me up and smack me? What are you 10? Oh wait this is the internet, prime breeding ground of the typical moronic E-thug.

In the beginning there was a game called Halo CE.... and it was good.....a little too good, everyone played it, both SP and MP.. When it came to making Halo 2, bungie really looked like they wanted to outdo them self's... remember the E3 presentation of Halo 2? Thats until MS stepped in, You see they saw the potential in halo 2 to be an even bigger cash cow, how so?

During the development of halo 2, MS was pimping out this thing called xbox live... They saw how popular halo's MP was and new that they could make there customer,s not only pay 50$ for the game, but another 50$ for xboxlive (and thats just in the first year)... So they forced bungie to concentrate on MP and we ended up with a SP that was a shell of its former glory...

thats why bungie going independent is such great news... i think by now its no secret that what ever dev MS controls turns into utter crap (rare anyone?)... So i say long live independent bungie and Screw MS and screw paying for online.....

Wow dude, your lack of info is stagering! Try reading the accual article. Bungie claims no such thing as to what you say! Bungie makes it very clear that they entend on making most games on xbox360 and future Microsft consoles and there will NEVER be a halo on any console besides that! Bunbie may be independant but they siad themselves the reason for the parting from big M was because they were trying to force them to make another halo and they wanted to focus on another titles for there next game.

You make it sound like bungie has been ruined when bottom line they have the most profitable partnership in gaming history and b/c u say so makes them ruined! LOL take your garbage talk elsewhere! If you going to state something try to state facts im tired of reading halo sucks this microsoft sucks that! Just stop posting on forums about how much you hate a game or a company, instead go make yourself happy playing your playstation or your nintendo!

What has microsoft done to you i ask? besides offer the BEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE ONLINE and truely great games! I dont like sony but that dont mean im going to make threads about it whining like a stuffed pig!

Microsoft didnt ruin Rare! Rare ruined Rare. Microsoft lets there developers take there time specially if there exclusive!

screw paying for online?

I cant get it through my skull how you and stupid cows claim that paying for online is garbage! $50 a year is not that much! You ack like your living in the streets or something! Id rather pay for online then have alot less features and crappy interface, plus i like to download classic arcade games and classic xbox games right to my hardrive, OHH and new released movies and music and dont forget tv shows!

You can never tell what someones true ententions are when talking about halo b/c most of the talk is hater bs but when u siad they ruined rare and what ever dev microsft controls i jsut cant understand how you came to that! your stating opinion and its far from the facts!
