When i heard that another Halo was coming out I was as excited as anybody else, then i actually took the time to think about a few things.
1. Are we all really gonna spend 60 dollars on something that's probably gonna be the exact same game play as Halo 1&2, but with diffrent charachters and a diffrent setting.
2. I know it's a new story and all based on events in which we already know the outcome of, but I feel like this is the last great story that remains untold outside of book version in the Halo Universe, and i was really hoping that this movie was going to happen. I dont know about you guys but after watching this trailer for the fifth time in a row i realized how awesome of a movie this trailer could become. I then remembered that the Halo Movie film was supposed to be based on the fall of Reach. I feel like the release of this game will solidify this state of preproduction limbo that the movie is currently in. And even if it finally does make it to the big screen what the hell kind off story will be watching. I do not want this to feel like Halo Wars where all the meat was taken in previous works and the writers were scraping through the bones to try to pull together a story, which in my opinion did not tie together well.
3. If this game does succed what will become of the Halo Universe? I love Bungie. Nobody knows how to make a great game like bungie does. If Halo Universe follows the footsteps of Halo 1 & 2 are they gonna decideto continue milking this series? Next thing you know we will be playing games from the covenent's point of view or Forerunner vs. Flood game. As much as i love the Halo Series I do not want to be playing expansions and add-ons for the rest of my life. In my opinion the Bungie crew have some of the most amazing crew and writers on staff. I still get goosbumps when replaying Halo 1 and Cortona reveals to master chief the true nature of the Halos. If that focus could directed on something new and exciting then Bungie could once again completely rock the gaming world.
But Yeah that's all i got really. Im not trying to bash this game in any way. I am truly as excited as the next guy and will probably be camping out at gaming stores on the release date in 2010 just like i have for previous Halos. But yeah i hope they finde a place to draw the line before we are all buying the same thing over and over, just with a diffrent cover and in a diffrent color.
Tell me what you guys think.
