Subject: Bungie's New Universe: The Story

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

The last three games Bungie has released has left me utterly disappointed in their ability to write an intriguing story for their games. While the last three games weren't horrible failures, they were when you judge them on their campaign, and unfortunately the campaigns have gotten worse, not better.

As Bungie leaves the Halo franchise to 343i to hopefully revive the Universe, I hope Bungie puts in more effort into their campaign of their next game than they do on the multiplayer. Frankly, Bungie can come up with a great Universe but lets it wither away.

Halo 3 and Reach had great campaigns. You guys are childish for saying they're bad because you're trying to judge the games equally, but you reallize that Halo 1 and 2 had terrible graphix. So when you judge the games you say they are best so you think people will think your judgement has nothing to do with graphix when in reallity you're saying they're the best because you feel bad for the games having doo-doo graphix. All games actually put up 3 years of hard work, creativity, and originality.


@Moj ODST was an expansion not a game.

I am judging the game in itself. Halo 3 was rush,over hyped, and had a change in development; all of which effected the campaign story.

Halo 1 and 2 have good graphics for their age. i will even say the reason i pick halo CE over reach in terms of graphics is because halo CE had textures. something the newer games disregarded.

Hard work, creativity, and originality yet all you keep referring to are graphics. I and others couldn't careless for graphics it is the plot we are concerned about. It is kids like you would would play a game like crysis just becuase of its graphics yet whine about it not having a story.

Hmmm...never heard of a $60 expansion before. Must be a coincidence it was the same price as a game. Oh and I also forgot that a game with no multiplayer isn't really a game. Haha, my mistake.

I love when people try to be smartasses but are clearly wrong.

It is an expansion to halo 3 hence it being Halo 3:ODST and not Halo: ODST

Bungie stated that it was an expansion (google it) and wanted to price it half the normal retail price. Microsoft priced it at $60 in which bungie apologized and said they had no control over.

They also state in a ViDoc that it was originally supposed to be an expansion, but bloomed into something more...

I won't get into H:Reach but H3 and ODST were in my mind pretty dang good with their storytelling. Yeah the squad may be a little cliche but the atmosphere and the overall story was in my mind pretty good. Not award material but I cared more about it than most games I've played. H3 was very nice as well. Only thing really bad about it was Miranda and her being a dumbass. The terminals were put together extremely well and their ARG was a big hit.

wasn't that referring to the amount of hours in the campaign or atleast that being a factor.

I am positive it had something to do with that.

Either way, I see it as a full game. It definitely deserves it in my mind. I think it's one of the best, if not the best, Halo game. But, that's just me. We can agree to disagree.

you can see it that way but it an expansion marketed as a full game just becuase it has "halo" in it.
