Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

Wow, just wow. I don't even understand how you came to that. First off, the name change was because to many people associated the name with Recon armour. I don't even know what to say about the rest.

Yes, i call it Halo 3 Recon because that's the title they announce it as at E3. I am a true BUNGIE fan, so i'm going to stick by what they called it until (obvious) legal action forced them to change the game's name to ODST

Alright, Johnson has VISR mode even though he doesn't have a Helmet. BUNGIE's response to this was ''it's a game, deal with it, he still has VISR mode''. Meaning, BUNGIE isn't being serious about the game's storyline in ODST.

The story's going to fail for this reason, as I think the singleplayer campaign is taking a LOT of lessons from Modern Warfare (an obvious demand by 'microsoft' that halo must take on modern warfare BEFORE It's sequel gets released in November).

Microsoft realized people didn't like to feel all too powerful, and wanted to feel weak and had to use skill and stealth to get through situations, all obvious factors evident in Halo 3 ODST

And now, Microsoft wants to tackle EB GAMES directly as they do not want them to get any more money from USED GAME Sales, since bungie doesn't get any money from it (BUNGIE HAS stated in the past 'we should never stop getting money for a game'). To do this? They take the most popular human, Sgt. Johnson, and make him unlockable in Firefight. This obviously wasn't bungie's idea, at all.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Microsoft is pulling ALL of the strings on the Halo series from now on. BUNGIE has said ODST will be their last halo game, but now they announce they'll be making 'HALO:REACH' after 'Halo Wars' had HORRIBLE Sales. What does that mean? It means Microsoft realized Halo needed BUNGIE to survive, and now is forcing them, through increased pay wages, to continue supporting the halo series.

Yep. Microsoft is officially milking Halo. I'm getting off of this crazy train before it crashes. Peace.


You are quite simply an idiot who is making baseless assumptions and cannot construct a valid point through the muck of random statments that make up your whole "point".

Bungie doesn't hav to be serious about it because the objective is fun and really ur not buying it is ur choice, though I fail to see why helmetless visers affect ur descision

So you think that even though Johnson has VISR mode even though he doesn't have a helmet makes you think that Bungie isn't going to take the campaign seriously?

Just a note for OP, Johnson will only be for firefight which is not relevant to the campaign.

You never left the crazy train OP.

“I’m Your prisoner by choice. I will rest at Your feet, and I’ll only lift my voice when You want me to sing"

Your accusations are false and with no evidence. Firefight is not related to the halo canon so you cant even say that the entire single player story will fail. Bungie stated that ODST was their idea started by a small group of their employees, NOT Microsofts. I'm not even going to comment on the rest of your post because its just plain stupid.

So you're going to be a moron? K. For being a "true" fan you're awfully stupid about this, Firefight where Johnson is in happens to be Multiplayer, and we know that has to do with the campaign.

Haha, modern warfare? Are you serious? Do you know what "modern" means? If you think ODST is modern warfare, then so is Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo Wars, Halo 3...

And Johnson is only usable in Firefight...who cares if he can use VISR? Why would they take away the feature just because it's a different character model that shouldn't have it? It would ruin the game play.

And oh my, I don't have time to respond to the rest, so I'll just say:

You're a buffoon, a moron, etc, etc, etc.

  • 06.19.2009 6:50 PM PDT

um so its gonna fail because johnson has a visr

  • 06.19.2009 6:56 PM PDT

Keep it classy Flood.

Here you go: If it urks you that Johnson can use VISR without a... well visor, then just think of his cigar as a flashlight.

I know, that was a sad attempt at a pun.

  • 06.19.2009 7:01 PM PDT

You don't sound like a "TRUE BUNGIE" fan, you just sound like a prick.

Look at yourself, would you want money? Of course. Johnson is just a bonus, almost like a joke. Get over it.

Bungie did not make Halo Wars 8-), and Bungie said that it would be their last game, except for the projects they were working on. Which were ODST and Reach.

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

Is the OP retarded?

Blah.

"Here you go: If it urks you that Johnson can use VISR without a... well visor, then just think of his cigar as a flashlight"

I lol'd at that ^

Wow, can anyone say this guys an idiot? Practically everything he said was based on fals assumptions and accusations. Wow..just..wow, i would say more about this guy but im not at the fear of getting blacklisted.

I wish I was still legendary.

1. Name change wasn't due to legal issues, it was because the original title had nothing to do with the game.

2. Johnson, as with ALL marines AND chief, has neural implants that give him a reticule and status markers. Read the books.

3. Halo Wars actually had great sales, nowhere near as horrible as you claim - especially for a console RTS, the most unpopular market.

  • 06.19.2009 7:10 PM PDT

Blah.

Halo Wars to me was surprisingly good for a console RTS game...

Umm does a 7 foot guy in a uber powerful suit sound serious either? NO

I ask the same question....

Yes, because dedicating an entire team of paid employees on a project to make it and spending probably millions more on marketing but making Johnson have no VISR mode is totally not serious man.

Really?

You need to take a break and stop nerding out. Get over it, its just a game.

edit:
lol microsoft milking Halo? Have you seen zelda or mario or any other game franchise?

Bungie never once said that they are done with halo, they said that there isnt any plans for new side stories for halo. Who said halo reach is a side story?

Get over it.

FYI Bungie didn't make Halo Wars. Ensemble Studios did. Why don't you get your facts straight before going on a rant on the internet.

Johnson is ONLY usable in FIREFIGHT which is not Canon (Like Multiplayer). However if that is not a good enough answer for you, then i'll say this. Johnson wears AWESOME Contact Lenses. :D
