If I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good nite.
When I was in 5th grade, a friend of mine, my best friend, came to me and said that he needed help beating a level. He was stuck in the Library.
A friend down the street had an xbox. I became better at Halo than he was, despite not owning a console.
I got my first xbox and copy of Halo with my own hard earned money.
Ever since beating the game on Co-Op, I wanted nothing else but a sequel.
Bungie delivered with Halo 2. There was Hijacking vehicles and dual wielding weapons and a usable sword. The multi-player levels were amped up. The universe expanded. I thought ODSTs were so cool. Then Master Chief says he's gonna finish the fight and the credits roll. I can't wait.
So when Halo 2 was coming out, I wanted 4 player Co-Op. It didn't happen. Instead, it came with Halo 3. But I wanted to play as an ODST as players 2-4 with player 1 being the Master Chief. Instead, it was Chief, Arbiter, and 2 other Elites. I was cool with that. But I still wanted something else. I wanted to fight unlimited bad guys, because I had played Mech Assault 2 where you would fight endless waves of bad guys. But that didn't come in Halo 2 or 3 either.
Then came Halo 3: ODST where I got to play as an ODST and Firefight debuted. I was thrilled. But then I wanted to play as Master Chief one more time and also do Firefight with him.
Instead, I got Reach with Armor Abilities, and Chief's voice for Firefight. I got Noble Six, whose armor I could change and make my own.
So I turned to my friends throughout all of these games and said how I still loved Combat Evolved's physics engine the most.
If Bungie could just put a new graphics skin on top of the Halo: Combat Evolved gameplay, I would be the happiest gamer ever.
Bungie then announced Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
At every turn in my relationship with the Halo Franchise, whether it was Bungie or 343 Studios, I've been catered to. Everything that I've thought of, they have put out. I didn't email them. I never sat down and wrote this out (until now).
Thanks for making such a great universe. The story and the gameplay are simply fun and entertaining. I couldn't ask for more. Thanks! Thanks a million!
I'm looking forward to Anniversary.
