You face an opponent who has never known defeat, who laughs in foreign tongues at your efforts to survive. This is Reply suicide.

Say Anything - Every Man Has A Molly
1. Anyone who uses the argument "They only want money" has no idea how economics works and are completely idiotic in their own right. Of COURSE they want money. What is wrong with a company wanting money? Let's see, companies need money to OPERATE. They have to pay their workers, their pensions, their health plans, costs of production, costs of support, costs of future production, while still taking home money to THEIR OWN families in order to live in a way which comforts them. Is it wrong to be rich? No. Being rich is what many people WANT to be. But somehow, when someone else is rich and you are not, you think they don't deserve it. No, rich people deserve their riches. They earned it through hard work and dedication. The only ones who didn't earn it, are the trust fund people. And they blow through their money in a generation or so, so who cares? If a company produces a product you enjoy or want, you pay the price for it. If you don't like the price or product, you don't buy it. The company doesn't force you to buy it. It's ENTIRELY choice. It's what they're charging for their game. Live with it, or shut up about it.
2. See my answer for number one. That's the price they cost, live with it. Buy them or don't.
3. Actually, Nintendo is accused, quite frequently, of releasing an "incomplete game" with pokemon. Many people, like myself, wish they'd just put all the pkmn in the game, with no rares that only people who live in SELECT CITIES can obtain. This is stupid, this is annoying, and it's an EXTREMELY poor business practice. However, accusing Bungie of not releasing a "full game" just because Johnson isn't in the games that weren't preordered... That's kind of childish. All he is, is a reskin. I doubt he even has armor permutations to unlock or anything. He's just there for fun. He's just there to show people online that you preordered the game when you play with him. He's a "novelty" and not an actual "gameplay element".
4. If you already own Halo 3 (and why would you be in these forums if you DIDN'T own it already?) then there's no need for Firefight to have a "multiplayer" type option. The one you have is "Firefight". To be honest, Firefight looks far more balanced and fun than standard Halo 3 Matchmaking is. There is no way to get matched against people better than yourself, while having all the idiots on your team with Firefight. The enemy team can't glitch out of a level, or with a weapon, or even a kill. Lag cannot help the enemy get kills and allow them to shoot you through walls. Firefight, in my opinion, will be far superior to the standard play of Halo 3 multiplayer. Especially since all anyone uses in Halo 3 is a Battle Rifle. Gameplay has gotten dull and stale, and I welcome this change.
5. Modern Warfare 2 will pretty much already sell to the existing Call of Duty fanbase. Being a sequel, it isn't likely to draw new players to the franchise. It will draw SOME, but it won't draw a lot. Halo 3: ODST is the same way. Though, since it is not really a true sequel, and could probably stand alone, it may have a larger chance of bringing in new players than MW2. Besides, the only reason you get a Call of Duty game is for the Multiplayer. The campaign is bland, tired, and done a million times before. Badguy is bad, take out badguy. Oh, and badguy has nuke, or army, or something else that makes him more dangerous than he should be. ODST, looks like it will be sold on the basis of the campaign instead of the multiplayer. However, even if MW2 sells more copies... Big deal. They still make a profit, games still get made. Who cares which games are on top? A ton of people like Gears of War, and I absolutely hate it and can't see why people enjoy it. But, that doesn't mean I should hate the success of the game. It's a game people like, let them like it. If people like MW2 more than ODST, oh well. Some people will be buying just one of them, but most people will be buying both of them. Buy whichever one you like and enjoy your purchase.
