I really don't like the way that Microsoft is using Bungie to market other games. First the Halo 3 Beta invitation through Crackdown, and now this? I mean come on, they are actually using Bungie's website to get awareness of the game out. In all fairness, the game does look decent, at least better then Crackdown. Still, Bungie makes the best games for Xbox, why can't Microsoft just leave them to their business, instead of trying to rub off a little marketing through a company thats worked so hard to get the respect from so many people.

Yeah for real.


This honestly isn't a Microsoft ploy...ex-halo people helped make the game, halo people tested the game, who cares if they put a plug for it during a slow Bungie news week? And as for a majority of the comments on here...why the hell do you put up a comment saying "I've never heard of this dumb game" or "It looks retarded"...especially if you don't give reasons why it's "retarded" and have never even PLAYED it. Tons of games have terrible press releases and negative feedback and the games get on the top 10 Games of the Year, you can't decide if you like a game just on one tiny block of information. Bungie's not gonna give you a cookie if you announce you hate every game besides halo 3...so stop acting like their lapdogs starved for attention, it's pathetic.

looks really stupid.

Magic and guns do not mix well


Actually, they mix extremely well! Ok you made me do it.... here's my pre-beta preview of the game with some video (below). There's some better video of the beta on the net. But again, none of the visuals are final, expecially my videos. They've done extensive tweaking of the visuals.

No need to be "convinced" now....just bookmark this and try the demo when it comes out. The maps are well-designed, it's worth a look.

--the Colonel has spoken...listen well

I find that last little question quite interesting, considering the "leaked" Beta video...coincidental timing? I think not...

yeah Shadowrun actually improves on social aspects of the Halo 2 matchmaking system. After you play a game in matchmaking, you can then play as many games as you want with the same opponents. So if you find a group you want to play with, you don't get whisked off to the next random match. But if you want to move on, then you can leave and find another match.

Well its a shame its not as social as it claims. You can not have split screen.

















PEOPLE, THERE IS NO SPLITSCREEN, THAT MEANS NO BUDDIES COMING OVER AND PLAYING WITH YOU.





Please prove me wrong otherwise. I use to be Deep into this game, but after hearing that, it lost me.

Magic and guns go extremely well together. It works so well. I love this game because I can leave an engagement if I choose. Nothing sucks more than being stuck in an engagement because of something small, knowing that you can't win it, but having to fight it anyway. This game is the best FPS I've ever played. Ever. And I think it'll be better than Halo 3 IMO. Depends on your taste. I've completely given up on Halo 2 and Gears. The SR beta held me over for 6 months. Now that it's gone, all I have is AC4.

True, but I have reason to believe they're going to add it in in a post release patch. Work was already done on it, but it was dropped because of time restrictions.

This is pointless, I don't care about shadowrun. I come to bungie.net to find out three things, stats, updates, and anything concerning halo 3.

Hold your tongues you little babies this game is so unique and complex that you can't even comprehend how intra kit the game play and matches are. I beta tested this Game for 2 months straight and it was a hell of a 2 months. I am going through so much withdraw after it ending Yesterday that I would snap 80 copies of halo 3 in half just to play Shadowrun right now. Shadowrun> Halo . Yes I went there what you gonna do about it with your basic FPS controls? huh? Play on my turf in Shadowrun and I'll slice your throat with a Katana in a matter of seconds, think I am joking TRY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bungie your still cool but your fans need to learn some respect.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

I greatly enjoyed this story, and I eagerly await future interviews and stories of this nature.

[22:08] [JohnHoward:] The Halo 1 pistol wasn't a mistake...
[22:08] [JohnHoward:] It was also intended to be the ultimate hold out weapon...
[22:09] [JohnHoward:] I always believe that balance is about giving each weapon / ability / whatever it's own perfect situation.


GT: Hitzel

I've been in the Shadowrun beta for a long time... great game. I've put aside Halo 2 and Gears of War to play it these past 4 months. Once the Halo 3 beta is over, I suggest that you pick this game up. I know that at first this game may seem a little weird, but once you play the game you'll just say "Oh! I get it!" Heck, you may probably play Shadowrun alongside Halo 3, when all you intended to do is play it to hold you over. You can consider Shadowrun a more tactical and complex version of Halo if you need to compare it to Halo. It's very reminiscent of the original Shadowrun, with it's depth and character customization.
