It's like a retard riding a bicycle while eating hot wings.
Sometimes you have to take the bike seat off to really enjoy it.

It's his opinion, why do you guys care so much?

Nope your not the only one. I'm still debating over modern warfare 2, left 4 dead, and odst. My money is more towards left 4 dead and modern warfare. I love the halo story but i wish the game itself was better. I like the game mechanics for modern warfare and left 4 dead is just awesome multiplayer and unique. But I don't feel that halo 2 and halo 3 gave me enough to want to buy an expansion to campaign. It feels like something I can just youtube eventually and fill in the plot hole if any.

Reason for modern warfare is because I really do enjoy the semi-realism in the game. I hate that when i throw a grenade in halo its made of rubber. even though you can argue in COD you can throw nades across a map. Besides I recently got WaW so I guess I am a bit biased to the COD series although it will never fill the awesome story halo had.

You know what? You're right. As much as I like more Halo, I would have loved if it had stopped at Halo 3, which for the record, is the second best game in the series and is only a let down if you want it to be. In fact, if you love something, you have to let go of it and after Halo Wars, my love of Halo told me to let go. But then, I remembered Bungie's Track record. With the exception of Halo Wars (Which was an okay game), all of Bungie's Halo games have been terrific. So have their previous games. And thus, I don't care if its a series milking (Which I personally do not feel like it is) or anything, I will play any Bungie made game, especially Halo

And like I said, I'm a complete Halo geek. More Halo? I'd probably buy any game that has the name Halo slapped onto it.

And wow, seems like there are a lot of better games coming out? Have you played ODST or any of those games? Did you just list Madden in that list? Bungie's games never demo well, with the exception of Halo 2's E3 Demo, which ended up disappointing more people in the end due to the absence of it from the final game. Even before Halo 3 came out, there was a lot of talk about it but at trade shows and all that, it never was the buzz. And yet, when the game came out, GOTYs everywhere.

Sure, Halo 3: ODST's E3 Press Conference showing was...bad and therefore, the general talk around it mediocre. There's no huge marketing being done for it and therefore, once again, not much talk about it. Doesn't mean its a bad game. Doesn't mean any of those games above are better (Again, seriously...Madden?)

Halo 3: ODST is a labor of love to hardcore fans. Fans like myself have begged to be able to play as ODSTs since, well for me, since Halo 2's E3 Showing and finally, its getting done. By Bungie, the fathers of Halo no less. ODST is pure fan-service and Halo: Reach probably would be as well.

I can't speak for the other Halo games probably being developed deep under the Microsoft labs but for now, as long as Bungie's name, not the Halo name, is on the box, I'll buy it. Because, at the end of the day, its not about Halo. Its about the sheer amount of detail, immersion and entertainment I'll receive from a game from Bungie.

Oh and why would you buy a new game just so you could play the levels that are in Halo 2?
Because, they aren't in Halo 2. They are in Halo 3: ODST. Dropping into stores: September 22nd 2009.

Well ive bought every Halo when it came out but is anyone just getting sick of hearing about new Halos? Kind of like they're just milking the name for money, because most fans will buy anything that has Halo in it? It also just seems their are alot better games coming out( and having every game in the series good.Example:COD)Madden 10, L4D2, COD6. And Halo3 seemed like a big let down. So why would i buy a new game just so i could play the levels that are in Halo2?
PS: Im gonna get flamed but o well.


Man your points make complete sense.

You know cause they are totally milking halo. Four Halo games not including ODST as it is not out yet. You say COD is a great game, I agree with you, you will buy COD 6,

wait, why not make a thread on that, couldn't you say that they are milking the Call of Duty Name. Well they are about to release the SIXTH game.

YOU ARE NOT PLAYING THE SAME LEVELS AS HALO 2!!

You are not on delta halo, high charity blah blah. This is a new perspective and a whole lot of new levels, firefight and Mythic Maps.

Get your facts stright before you go running your mouth, ironic?

Well it looks good and the levels will be completely new.


Paying 60$ for maps is a little overpriced.


Not really, you get the Campaign, Firefight, multiplayer (with 3 new maps that you can't get any other way) and the invitation to Halo Reach, I think its a reasonable price.

It's his opinion, why do you guys care so much?

Think about it. A guy goes into a forum specifically made for something and says, where everyone can see, that he doesn't want it.

It's like going into a thread about football and posting "i hate football". The poster might be thinking "oh im so important on this earth and i think the whole world is directed at me". It's just equally downright pointless and stupid.

I agree with him

Go Kansas Jayhawks!

Wait.....you think Halo is getting milked. Look at how much Nintendo milked Mario. Now don't get me wrong, many of those Mario games are awesome. I think a company can milk a franchise as long as they want as long as the games are good and worth the money.

  • 06.27.2009 1:04 AM PDT

Why is his gamertag thatlolguy?

Well I see your point. And yes even though all the CoD games are good they're kinda milking it as well. I mean there's gotta be some people getting tired of CoD aswell. If you're not sure about ODST then rent it and see how it is.

  • 06.27.2009 1:06 AM PDT

In Veni Veritas

dude, Bungie didn't make halo wars, but Microsoft had the rights to the Halo franchise, so someone else developed it. I absolutely refuse to buy HW because Bungie didn't make it. Bungie makes excellent games and will continue to. I hope they always keep continuing the Halo series, but i also hope to see an equally amazing storyline not set in the halo universe. so, anyway, Bungie didn't make Halo Wars and Bungie freaking owns

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

6 Hours of campaign, a Horde mode, H3 Multiplayer and all the new and old maps.

Yeah, umm. Shut up and stop complaining. It's well worth the price, and everything Bungie has made is great.
