Okay, before everyone starts saying, "The noob knows nothing!". I want to explain myself. First of all, it is hard to imagine over hyping this game seeing all of the pictures and movies and whatever. Quite frankly, are we setting our selves up for dissapointment? What if something isn't exactly how we expected it? How will we the Halo 2 fanatics take it? Will we shrug it off saying, "Eh, it can happen." or will we be expectiong perfection and if it isn't quite what we hyped it up to be, what then? Will we keep playing it? Heck ya. Will we enjoy it still? Maybe, because when we see all of this amazing stuff we expect it all to be that good. It's our mind's nature to put something on the exact same level as the preview. Why do you think movie trailers only show the climatic parts or the funny parts, or in all actuality most of the good parts. Because they know it will draw us in, they know that suddenly the whole movie will seem that good. Am I saying Bungie is doing this? Yes and no. They are doing their job. Marketing their game to make money, so that they can make a living. The no part is, from what I have seen of the game, the trailer is living up to all of what we have seen of the game so far. But I must say a warning, please do not expect perfection in this game, there will be bugs, there probably will be some parts in the game that are sub-par with the rest of the game. Do not hype this game so much that if this happens that it becomes the failing point. Hey there may be some bugs, probably not the "Enter the Matrix" type of bugs, but some. That is why the first HALO was so dang good. We didn't know what to expect, we didn't expect perfection, and we expected some flaws. But, we expected them and then we noticed them and said, "That could change" (Repetitive landscapes and confusing layouts <Library, Assult on Control room>) and we saw the good and amazing parts and saw that overall the good outweighed the bad.
There might be some of you who will simply brush this off and say something like "Eh, I won't do that I know that that could happen." You know what? That might be honest, and that 's cool. But I still warn you, be careful. Make this game as good if not better than he original HALO by not expecting perfection.
Heh, long first post. I might not become popular because of this first post. But you know? It was on my mind so ya.
