I don't think we are it is there last halo game for a while apparently and I think people just want it to be great but I think it's to late to add any of the big ideas I'm pretty sure they have been working on this game for a few years now
Yep. Right after Halo 3 ended.
And, well, apparently Microsoft's working on something big too. They had a job listing up for Multiplayer designer on a Halo game.
And anyway, its just that Bungie's games thus far have been remarkable. Exepectations that have been set, no matter how high, have been touched for the most part.
Halo 3 was the high point of the Halo series, no matter what anyone says. Sure, I prefered Halo 1's story and now ODST trumps it, but it was the point for a lot of people where Halo did everything right. Online integration, 4 player online co-op, Multiplayer with constant support, screenshots, THEATER, Forge. It did so many things right.
And of course, the obvious thing now is that everyone expects Bungie to exceed those standards with Halo: Reach.
Which is unfair because even if Reach is half the game Halo 3 was, it will still be a fantastic game. Not saying it will be, I'm just saying that Bungie is in a lose-lose situation here and at the end of the day, come Fall 2010, when Reach comes out and is amazing, someone here will be complaining. Not because the game was bad, because he made the game seem bad to him based on the expectations he set on it for himself.
This is also the reason why COD4 made somewhat of a huge splash in 2007, Bioshock as well. Halo 3 kinda stole the spotlight and that fact, coupled with the other fact that they were 2 very good games as well, propelled them upwards.
