I'm a teacher that plays Halo. What of it?

If it does happen to be a new Halo game, and it's in the likes of Halo 3, the game probably wouldn't be released until 2010 anyways. But still, when the game studio that catapulted your company to the highest level has something to unveil, you let them have it. You owe it to them.

is this true?

MS was absolutely embarrassed by what Bungie had to announce and show. The upper echelon made a command decision to forbid Bungie from showcasing their latest, upcoming title, due to "an overwhelming potential for embarrassment", even for an unfinished product. Bungie was informed that until they have something worth showing, keep the announcement on hold. MS apparently was appalled by the decision of Bungie to "even think of showing this off". What they have to show looks so bad, MS was just plain embarrassed to "show it off". Bungie may make an announcement if/when they can showcase a little of the product, as long as that show and tell doesn't involve "embarrassing visuals..."

So turns out that it may be a good thing this got put on hold. I cant imagine how bad this Bungie game must of looked for MS to stop the announcement, but it mustve been horrible


Ok, lets see... Name one thing from Bungie that was an embarrassment... now name one thing from MS that was an embarrassment...


Which one is easier to do?


HALO 3. Cough..

Why do we fight? To protect home, and family. To preserve balance and bring harmony. For my kind, the true question is... what is worth fighting for
-Chen Stormstout

Hey, no one blame Bungie
They really looking forwards to unveiling this project, you could tell they were putting a lot of effort into it
But, then micro$oft comes in and pulls the plug, because it might interfere with GoW2 and other games
All for the money, they unplug one of their greatest companies to produce games for them
If it wasn't for Halo: CE the xBox would've been a letdown
Halo 2 added to the amount of people buying xBoxes to join in on the revolution that was Halo
And come Halo 3, EVERYONE was hyped for it, people went out and bought a brand new xBox for Halo 3
Way to let down your fans, and your #1 company Micro$oft

Legally, they probably can't.

  • 07.16.2008 11:34 AM PDT

Thank you Bungie,

See you starside.

Heh, I thought it was a fake...

Oh well, I'll be sure to have the pitchforks and torches at Microsoft's gates tommorow :)

Take me into your heart! Accept me as your savior! Nail me to the -blam!- cross, and let me be reborn!

Let there be CHAOS!

For everyone who keeps saying "You've lost a lot of fans because of this" and "A lot of people are going to stop playing Halo"... Oh please.

Delays happen, and most people are aware it isn't even Bungie's fault. And honestly... who is going to stop playing Halo because Bungie delayed an announcement?

That's like me saying "I'm never playing a Duke Nukem game again because 3D Realms keeps delaying Duke Nukem Forever!!!1" I don't know anyone spiteful enough to actually stop playing a game series because the developer's had to delay something.

  • 07.16.2008 11:35 AM PDT

Understandable, but unfortunate.

But do not fear, Bungie. We will stand behind you until the end!

  • 07.16.2008 11:37 AM PDT

Are you kidding me.......At the MS Conference, "They did that We are in the Movies" demo......That made me embarrassed to watch it. AND NOTHING CAN BE MORE EMBARRASSING THAN THIS

Thank you for ending the rampant speculation that was going on. At least we know now.

It's not the most ideal situation, but at least we know.

  • 07.16.2008 11:38 AM PDT

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

Great...Microsoft ruined everything. Now we have to wait for probably months, and even then it won't be as exciting. If SI comes back, we will all know what is going on which will ruin it. And the worst part is, we are still going to have all the ridiculous theory threads in the Halo 3 forum (that have nothing to do with Halo 3). At least clean up the forums please. I know its not your fault, but the whole situation just sucks. And is an explanation to much to ask for?
