It is a huge piece of Halo lore that if (when) you **** it up, you're going to have to deal with the wrath of everyone who ever loved this game and universe.

This game will be an atrocity. I challenge Microsoft to prove me wrong. Believe me, I'd love nothing better if they did.

As far as I know Bungie's developing this one. You're telling Bungie that they're gonna -blam!- up their own game? Their own story line? Nope.

I'll consider this series milked when they (as in Bungie, not ensemble etc.) put out a bad game that has a bad plot line, and a bad game in general, and only care about money.


*cough* halo 3 *cough*


then why are you commonting on the bungie forums and why are you a fabled member i've been posting for quite a while and i'm not so you must have been here a while

to any who would consider this milking... why not make additions that would help expand a new universe? Halo 2 and Halo 3 were still pretty fun considering what never made it to the in-game story, but if you read the books, this universe went from something small to ginormous!

i think you should focus your efforts on Star Wars... get Lucas Arts to develop a new IP that's worth spending time on.

  • 06.01.2009 4:40 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

If the games keep being this good, then I don't care how much it is milked. Maybe it will force other companies to get off their asses and improve their products.

  • 06.01.2009 4:42 PM PDT

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

Bungie can't -blam!- up Halo, only other people can -blam!- up Halo. It started with all those books, which while admittedly good reads, took a lot of liberties with the canon and set unrealistic expectations for the games. Halo Wars was a complete travesty story-wise.

However, Bungie is back in control for ODST and Reach. ODST (dumb name aside) looks absolutely drenched in awesome. I'm sure Reach will be good, too. Just as long as no one else but Bungie uses the Halo IP, I'm pretty sure the franchise can survive and flourish.

Still waiting for that new amazing non-sequel original game, though...

My game rules:

1. Camping- okay
2. Power weapons- go right ahead
3. Janitor (aka Scrapping)- also good
4. Spawn Killing- What, I'm supposed to give you a chance to kill me?

Considering that Bungie, you know, created Halo lore, I'm pretty sure it will kick at least some derriere.
Halo Wars was good, but just too simple.
And yeah, Halo is nowhere near milked yet.
I love how the bad in your rant has all to do with MS and nothing at all to do with Bungie.

I.SEE.YOU.RECLAIMER.

I've liked every Halo game I've played so far. Which is Halo 1, 2,3, and Wars. I plan to enjoy (actually love) ODST and Halo Reach looks awesome.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

I totally understand the concept of milking something for all its worth, but when it isn't broken, don't fix it. Bungie has yet to mess up this franchise, and with the expansions of Halo Wars and I'm sure soon many others, we will only see it get stronger.

No, Halo 3: ODST or Halo: Reach isn't Bungie's way of jumping the shark, its their way of showing you that not all things Halo have to revolve around rings, space, and half-naked chicks inside your head - not that I'm complaining about the chick :)

This will only set the stage for endless fun to come.

UMM.... dude ODST is an expansion. look it up on xbox.com.

That is Y its called Halo3: ODST and not "Halo: ODST".

Get your facts straight.

I have still not played Halo Wars. I knew that game was going to be bad from the beginning as well, and I was proven correct by reviews and the fact that the game is almost dead already.
You can usually tell, based on your own personal taste, if a game is going to be good by a couple screenshots or a few seconds of gameplay footage. That's all it takes. I've seen enough of ODST to know that I'd probably like it ok, but not enough to justify buying it.
Admittedly, I know nothing of this game other than that trailer. I get a slight "bad game" vibe from it, which is why I challenge Microsoft to prove otherwise.

And to the one showing me a Harry Potter Christmas ornament, I respond with Halo 3 action figure.
. Wah wah cry me a river you tool. Ever heard of Mario? The most milked series alive? Yeah, how can MS milk Halo if we asked for stuff like this you think it's milked by opinion have fun but really you haven't played Halo Wars yet you're judging it Halo War's in my opinion was somewhat great in it's own way but could have been better but you haven't even played it yet you're judging it, retard.......

Funny, you guys always call the latest Halo game 'milking it' and 'mediocre' before and during it's release before another Halo game is announced.

Make your freakin' mind up already.

  • 06.01.2009 5:55 PM PDT

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

Mario = Milked

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Until you play Halo 3: ODST, or Reach, you can't really judge the quality of the games. Halo Wars is not a Bungie game. And only Bungie Halo games are true Halo games.

The Halo universe is huge, and there is much left untapped, and stories left untold. Frank O'Connor already confirmed that Halo 3 was not the last time we saw Master Chief in a Halo installment.

The main story arcs may be over, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other stories of importance for us to play.

Halo is that kind of franchise that should have its universe massively explored, and so long as Bungie has a story to tell, I will have my wallet ready.

  • 06.01.2009 6:03 PM PDT

2. of course halo is going to get milked
3. you realize because of the trilogy bungie is a super developer and they can employ alot of people
4. bungie knows how to make a good game
5 they have been working on odst for a while. they only just realised the information that they are.
6 bungie created halo i think they know about the storyline
