How many Halo's is enough?

3 games? Milking? No.

You want milk? George Lucas has squeezed every ounce possible out of Star Wars. Thats all he does.

halo 2 was enough to know that the series was genericRigga911

[QUOTE="Chaos_HL21"][QUOTE="L_Samax"]What is Halo Zero?

L_Samax

It a Free Halo side-scrolling shooter game. I also don't see the reason to count Map pack and Ports. Right now there is just Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: ODST, Halo wars. Halo: Chronicles had been missing in action.

That isn't that bad.

Halo is massively popular and there is def no shortage of games in the series for fans to enjoy. My concern is that like with many other games there is a such thing as too much.

Who thinks Halo will go overboard with additions?
Who thinks Halo will needs as many additions as they can make?

There is already: Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 2 Map pack, Halo Triple Pack, Halo 3, Halo Zero, and Halo: Custom Edition. They are already planning on Halo Wars, Halo: Chronicles, and Halo 3: Recon.

You're going to use fangames and map packs to increase your list?

Halo is a fantastic world with a large string of stories that can be told. Like Star Wars, it can be told in different ways and perspectives. I say they can make as many Halo games as they want as long as they're fresh, and quality games. Halo is still young, as old as it is, and the millions of fans don't just want it to fade away. There's more to be told, and there's so many interesting perspectives (Halo: ODST, Halo Wars, Halo: Chronicles) that bring new interest to the franchise.

As you may have comprehended, Halo is prosperous to a high level. Apart from Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV, no game has hammered Halo 2's day-one sales record, $125 million. For what reason would they stop?

krp008

Halo 2 sold about 7-8 million (guessing) in its lifetime on the Xbox with only 20 million Xbox's sold... Thats pretty amazing seeing how the PS2 struggled to sell that much of one title and the PS2 was owned by nearly 80 million customers

But the highest selling game last generation was Pokémon Ruby and Saphire!

no it isn't as bad as the TC is making it. u really can't make map packs as a halo. it is just content, if u can then the PC has a lot of milkage because of all of the great mods out there.

At least the Final Fantasy games are different.Ragnarok1051

UHmmm...since 7? You ever see the concept/character sketches for the older games? NOt exactly the crew from Gears in those games either. They just didn't have the console power in the NES and SNES days to properly render their vision.

they should have stopped with 2

I wished they'd just delayed the game until late 2005/early 2006 and did it right

If the game was anywhere near the E3 2004 trailer I would've been happy

but it fell so short of that

Name one single time when Sony or Nintendo showed up at a game conference and simlpy said "MGS/Mario is coming out this year" - no visuals or gameplay or anything - and the fanboys claim the gen is over, Nintendo/Sony have won the show and game of the year and will rule that year?

It's never happened. But it happens every time MS comes out, walks on stage, says "Halo" and then drops the mic on the floor and leaves. Lemmings declare E3 or whatever over, and MS won, and then gen is over for the competition.

I can understand hyping a game once we've SEEN it, but I've never in my life seen such an extreme fanboy reaction based on just announcing a release date, or showing a fake Halo Tattoo on an MS execs arm.

Every system has a trolling band of fanboys over an IP. Look at the Mario/Zelda lovers and GT or Metal Gear nuts.KingTuttle

I'm going to go with: The day one scores 6.5 or lower.

EDIT ( shhh, not really ) Opps, I forgot, KZ2 in coming so umm forget that theory. :twisted: Don't jump cows, I think KZ2 will score well. :)

Seriously, Halo is far, far from milked as the series has seen nothing but AAA's so, Just sayin. :P

1. At this point halo is pretty much the least milked franchise out there. It takes bungie 3 years to make a new iteration every time, and even though there's also map packs, these usually go free after half a year or so.

2. No one's complaining about too many FF's or too many COD's too much, so halo is save for some time.

3. As long as bungie or another studios put some serious time into every new halo game, and make it a quality game, there's really no "too much" of it.

Your counting map packs :lol:

Yeah you lost all credibility with that one.

I couldnt agree with you more. Unfortunately this is where good series go downhill and start to fail because after spin 38742387 it seems to lose its luster and appeal.

Halo 1 was a very enjoyable game for me on the PC and I did play it considerably since it was basically the start of online gaming for me (I just wasn't experienced enough to have a crack at Quake III but I could appreciate the reason behind it's popularity, but I prefered offline play tbh)

Then there was Halo 2... It was the reason I bought the first one, because I was considering purchasing it but it was only for the xbox, which in my eyes was a trashy system. So I didn't buy it, but I did get it free with a PC some time ago and all I can say is boy... it is just awful compared to the first.

Next is Halo 3, it's a solid game that just doesn't appeal to my taste, but it seems to go for everything that I thought Halo didn't stand for; closed in environments even when outdoors, an excessive amount of weapons and a bunch of equipment pickups that just throw the ballance of combat into clumsiness. No battles that really tested any complicated strategies besides drive in circles until the numb AI managed to crack a weak spot (letting them drive is simply out of the question). I didn't ever feel like cinematography had been used effectively and to top it off, most of the levels in the game were beyond questionable when it comes to design choices.

The Halo expansion pack had better drastically change the gameplay or I wont enjoy it. You see I feel that the previous games relied to much on strategy over skill (besides the fact that the second two were some how even more linear). I never liked the idea of a quiet assault rifle that couldn't be aimed, or a sniper rifle with tracer rounds, and enemies that use their armour as an excuse to act predictably numb.

Halo Wars may be good, but I will remain apprehensive.

Summary: 1 Halo/halo 1 is enough

How many Final Fantasy's are enough? How many Metal Gears are enough? How many Guitar Heros are enough? It's all profit uinfournatly, if the game has profit and sells they'll milk it till the day it dies.Solid_Max13

I actually like how they are doing it differently with ODST. Halo 2 and Halo 3 were so horrible... nothing could beat the first and the only reason both of those were a success was because of the first. I swear, if Halo 4 has dumb and ignorant success like 2 and 3, I'm going to shoot myself because the developers are just milking the money rather than caring about the gameplay. I know tons of people that own Xbox 360s who all admit Halo 3 was just flat out garbage and are still in wonderment at the reviews and sales Halo 3 generated.

And Halo Wars will be alright, but Star Craft 2 is on the horizon, and we know RTS's on consoles just never work.T

They should just seriously end it already... do something else instead...

At least Mario/Zelda and the Metal Gear series actually release good, maybe even great games from time to time.

Really

This thread was just a cheap cow attempt to bash Halo and it failed

Halo has 3 freaking games and 1 full game and 1 expansion on the way

How is that milking

You want milking go look at mario, madden, final fantasy, metal gear solid and dynasty warriors

those franchises were milked to the core

How many Metal Gear games have we seen in the past couple generations? Even excluding the Solid series and the remakes and re-releases.Johnny-n-Roger

I said before and ill say it again

This was just a cheap cow attempt to bash the 360

Halo isnt being milked not even close

You wanna see a milked franchise look no further then final fantasy, metal gear solid, dynasty warriors, madden sonic mario
