Bungie wants to maintain the control of info that we the fans recieve. The people that come to these forums are the people that go out in the streets and hype the game at school, at work, at the bar, etc. WE are teh silent majority that really sell the game. If we gain too much info though through leaked screens and info, bungie loses a major cog in their hype machine if we don't like what we see. They'd rather us know nothing and think the game great before release than know enough to see that its really not as great as it will be made to seem. If you doubt me, go watch the believe trailer, and then play the game, and tell me when the game hit that level of hype and excitment that the commercial did, becasue I never saw it. Halo 2 and 3 were good, but were def disappointing to some degree.
You hit it right in the bullseye. Bungie would rather take all our money if the game sucks then let us know and get no money. Bungie is a business and they are out to make money. They might care about their fan base but at the end of the day they are in it for the money. Bungie has done a fantastic job at hypeing up their games. I have been disapointed by Halo 2, Halo 3, and mostly ODST. They were all great games that are a lot of fun, but they were not what Bungie said they would be. They pull the blindfold over our eyes and tell us a nice story that gets us excited so we buy their game.
If Reach isn't amazing and revolutionary with amazing ahead of the time graphics and gameplay with an incredible story and cutscenes that were not taken from previous games then I will be done with Bungie. They have been feeding us Halo CE for the past 8 years. Reach needs to be creative and inventive with unique style and cutscenes with amazing graphics and gameplay. If they expand on what they started in ODST then they can give us an amzing game but I question wheather they will actually put forth the effort. I think they are willing to spoon feed us the same game again to milk some more money out of us.
