No, they never said that

Does that make much sense? Release a brand new multiplayer game and then start up another one at the same exact time?

Why is there alot of people that do not read or search the internet. People post on here with questions that they can most of the time answer themselves, but instead wait for a response that is usually not a nice instead of using the service they are paying for to get the internet. Hey boneheads here is a tip that may help you in the future... Google can be your friend.

:roll: Again with the milking of Halo. Could we stop with that already? Here's what I have to say to that. Final Fantasy. Oh, and another thing. Mario.

You either misunderstood or read from an unreliable source. The ODST disc is the beta key for when the Reach multiplayer beta is released. The game is scheduled (not confirmed) to ship in the fall of next year, so it's likely that the beta will release during Spring 2010.

They never said anything about starting the Halo Reach beta asap. They only announced that it would be added. Makes no sense releasing a game then immediately putting out a beta for the next one. I agree with the whole milking the Halo series to the last drop. Just stay patient, don't think about it and the time will come before you know it.

I don't think I've seen that particular thread, but lists have been made when people here made threads about milking Halo. A whole 5 games right? I posted every Final Fantasy game in that thread. I'll have to find that.

I dunno, I agree that it isn't truly milking but you can't compare those series at all. Final Fantasy has 20(ish) different games with 17 different plots and stories with several different control schemes and game types.

Mario has evolved from a 2d sidescroll platformer to a 3d full on action game with RPG games as well. Lots of diversity.

Halo has 1 story and is basically one game redone 2 times with two spin offs one of which is complete crap (Wars).

I've heard people say that. That all the Final Fantasy games have different plots and characters etc. But it all falls under the Final Fantasy name. People take a look at a game and consider buying it because it has Final Fantasy in the title. You already have an idea of what it will contain. Same with a Mario game. So you don't consider THAT milking?

The only thing I consider milking in those are the re-releases and compilations, which are re-releases. Final Fantasy has always been about separate stories for the most part. A fan of the Final Fantasy series knows that no 2 games will be all that similar.

Like I said, I don't think what so ever that Halo is milking, milking is putting out bland sequels tagged with the name just to draw profit. Like any Madden game lol.

Halo wouldn't even be on a top ten milked franchise list.

1 story? You mean 1 universe. I don't know why you said the Halo series was redone 2 times, do you care to elaborate on that claim? It just sounds very biased to me. Also, a true sequel is one that continues from the previous game and expands upon the experience, anything other than that is not a real sequel. If anything, Mario and Final Fantasy should be more guilty of milking because of variety. Do they really have to include their well-known characters in every type of game genre? I'm sure Halo will follow their footsteps later on, but I've only been seeing people claim that Halo is the only example of milking, and it makes me wonder...
