Rather than being deconstructive and complaining, maybe you can make some suggestions as to what they SHOULD HAVE done. The only even half-hearted suggestion I'd seen so far was a render of a Hunter. So what else would have made you happy? Stay ON TOPIC, no whining about what wasn't shown, everyone knows you're unhappy about that already. Also, no complaining about the videos not being handily available at bungie's site yet. That too, is a topic that's been shot to death already.

I think it was perfect. Anything made by Bungie and titled Halo 2 is just perfect

The content at E3 was great, but I'm worried that Bungie is focusing too much on multiplayer (to appeal to the typical gamers) and not singleplayer. Pretty unfounded accusation I know, but I probably not the only one who is wondering why a Halo 2 campaign screenshot was absent at the biggest gaming event of the year. Don't give me nonsense about spoilers, there's plenty of stuff they could release that wouldn't give away the story.
Too much hype always leeads to overspeculation, which leads to hysterical enthusiasm (this is where we are now), which leads to disappointment when the game is finally here and we've been overimagining the project for the past two years. It isn't too late though. Keep us tantalized Bungie, but not starved.

I'm alone, where is my microphone.

I really don't think so, Bungie is known for Halo and it's huge Singleplayer, I thought in the first Halo that Multiplay was in for the ride.

I enjoyed seeing whats new for multiplayer but somehow I feel that bungie did not show everything they could like melee combos,looking around corners etc.but thats NOT A BIG LETDOWN

btw. can you honk the horn on the warthog like it did in that MP demonstration?

Hmm... I thought it was perfect besides the fact that they did not show one new gun. Is that so hard to ask? Because I want to know what the one gun is that the elites are showing off in that one screen shot. Wait, nevermind that would kill the suspense it was perfectamundo. Wait, no, they could have shown how hard it was to run someone over in a vehicle. Because in the last game you could be going a mile per hour and could kill someone with a vehicle and they would fly back twenty feet. Not to get off topic but if you were running into a wall with the warthog but not going anywhere but the wheels were still moving and someone else touched the car they would die. So I would've wanted to see any changes the made as far as the bugs from the last game like roadkill.

It wasn't bad. I loved the fact that they showed off a playable demo which shows that the game is practically done. I wanted more movies. I wanna see real people play the game, not bungie employees doing a small comedy act with a demo. Movies damn it, MOVIES!!

It was said in a recent magazine that it's the new Covenant Carbine. Name pending, perhaps.

This year they had mutilplayer last year they had singleplayer just because they show a few things for multiplayer doesn't mean all three years went into multiplayer

Too much hype always leeads to overspeculation, which leads to hysterical enthusiasm (this is where we are now),

I thought the general complaint (mainly from TheDocter and CaptainMilky) was that there wasn't enough "hype."

And i don't know about you, but I've been in hysterical enthusiasm since November of 2001 when I first played the game. I remain enthused, but patient. I've watched forum crawlers bash game devs for years, and I say that anyone who thinks Bungie is handling this wrongly ought to take a look at the debacle that was Daikatana, or the poor sods waiting for Team Fortress 2, or Duke Nukem Forever. Maybe then they'll have a bit of perspective. And if a game/book/movie/album/whatever doesn't live up to a person's expectations, then maybe that person should re-evaluate their expectations instead of bashing the hard working creators of such things.

I just expected some acknowledgement of their progress. That's all.

What's with this crowd? Constructive criticism = I'm making death threats to Bungie? Not quite. Look around at any major forums (BGH, HBO) and you'll see fan fic and crazy-ass ideas that "om0g bungee shuld totaly use".

Who said anything about death threats? In fact, who said ANYTHING untoward about your comments? I'm confused.

I guess I could sort of agree about that but what would they say without wasting to much time? "by the way singleplayer is really cool. But would I think would be really cool is to have coopertive play with up to 16 people!!!!!

I go around the world leaving a path of destruction in my wake. When I come to a city, grown men cry and women wail. I collect the skulls of my enemies and display them for all to see.........I also kick puppies. For fun.

well in the MS demonstration, they said they would be playing zanzabar at the show, but last year, the e3 demo didnt come out right after the actual e3, but when it does come out this year, there might be some more stuff that will satisfy some of you guys

Ok, first of all I'm surprised you know how to use caps lock. Second, I'm not talking about the press conference, I'm talking about Bungie's actually presentation. The 8 minute vid was pointless. Most of the things in the vid we already knew about, and the things we didn't, could have been given to us in updates. I'm talking about a real vid, of what Bungie had to show at e3. For future reference, don't be such a dumbass. Thank you, have a nice day.
