What's with all these people screaming and whining? If you hate Bungie so much, then don't post here. Get a grip.

Bungie rules! (And they know what they are talking about)

Before I was just like "Halo 3: eh, I like the game a lot but big deal. How good can it be?" In the past month I've gone from this to drooling over anything Halo. The more I see, the more I can't wait. After that vid about the multiplayer stuff and this hot screenshot which the lighting is just over-the-top ridiculously amazing in, I can hardly wait. Who knows about the gamepley, but I bet this turns out to be the best looking game on the 360 yet!

That was already known, that is given away in the trailer and in halo 2. i kno this and i havnt played halo 2 campaign and dont kno the story at all, cuz i could only play halo 1 cuz i didnt hav an xbox. also it shows that the AR (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is back... but that dont mean much cuz i already saw weapons reverting to the origanals (weapons from 1 that were modified in 2 sucked in 2 but all the new additions in 2 were awsome)

i agree with this guy why would you make maps only for 360 when halo2 was made for the original xbox that makes no sence .

I can't stand you, Bungie.
The word "Sell-out" comes to mind everytime I read one of your supposedly "great" updates.
Yea, whatever, Halo 3...It's coming, yea...we know. Peopl are impressed, I care less. I will never buy a 360. Period.

First I read that you guys were making Halo 2 for Vista, and I knew Microsoft had you buy the "no-nos". Only reason that IT MUST COME OUT ON VISTA is so they can sell that OS. Plain and simple. Without you, Xbox would've died. So they look to you guys to make sure Vista won't bomb. It'll run on XP just fine, but you say it won't, when clearly when you were first programming the graphics and coding Halo 2 up years ago for Xbox, Vista wasn't out. Wasn't even called Vista. Longhorn was the name, and you guys most likely coded the game in XP, or heck, even 2000. Who knows...Therefore, H2V should really be H2XP, because the original was was made and tested on the older OS, and then coded to the Xbox version and encrypted and what-not. It worked then, it should work now. But I figure I'll just rip Vista somehow, just like my XP I have on my PC. I kinda got over it.

But then to read that you guys are making maps for H2, which, lets remind everyone, and, hmm..lets remind you guys since you must've forgotten somehow...that Halo 2 was made for Xbox, and the last time you guys tried to do something that would work with 360...crapped out (I'm looking at you Backwash). You're doing the same thing with Microsoft again. Halo 3 is eventually coming out, but with the lack of sales that the 360 has, especially with two other competitors FINALLY stepping in, Microsoft is getting scared and wants, NO, NEEDS something from the only good company that has made anything worth playing, to suck more people into buying their system.

I'm ashamed to know you guys. I regret buying your games now. I regret that I ever had faith in you, for everytime you guys try and "do something nice", you let down a good sized chunk of your fan base, and without us, you'd have died aloooong time ago.
Thanks.

I'm pawning, wait...no I think I'll just give away my copy of Halo 2.

the OS has a whole new chassis for gods sake its practcly a new OS and that ******* dare speak like that?!?!? yes its a bummer that its not gunna run on XP cuz Vista is gunna be expensive, but lets face it, Windows is finally about to finnish the goddamn OS race with vista. so they have to do that. and as for using halo 2 vista to protect microsofts money, THIS IS WINDOWS WE ARE TALKIN ABOUT!!!! YOU HAVE TO KEEP USING WINDOWS WITH UR PC OR BUY A MAC OR SUMTHIN!!!!! ITS THE MOST POPULAR OS OUT THERE,, AND U DARE IMPEADE BUNGIE????????

actually com to think about it i bet the new maps hav a few surprises, and they are probly meant to be played in HD or sumthin, although i think that the origanal XBOX is becoming otdated, as many owners have theirs explode after YEARS of use, many are just springing for the 360, and i think Microsoft is tryin to leave te origanal XBOX behind. not being a huge player of the original XBOX, i still kno that it supports HD, for example Ninja Guiden was HD, and it looked like sum of the 360 games, so i think they need to integrat the 2 xboxs with a firmware updat for the old(and possibly new) so that its all happy.

I cannot wait until the BETA, it is a great idea to help weed out the cheats before they start. Also the commercial should be amazing as all Halo videos are and I must say happy 5 years Halo! Its been an AMAZING 5 and I cant wait for the next 5.

Uh, Bungie? You're lying when you say that's an actual screen-shot from the game, right?

I mean, it's brutal!

That screenshot looks like crap...

looks like someone used clay to mold the master chief!!!

I hope the graphics are better than then the screenshot or i might just go buy a PS3!
A witty signature




.....................WTF???????its not a -blam!- pic of -blam!- reality its a -blam!- video game, and its not a finished product, yes it was a little unfinnished loooking, but gee, i wonder why. the PS3 is gunna have a few games that look a bit better yes, but graphics arent evrything. players base such decisions on graphics. But the people who have a love and respect for the art that is Halo, they base such desicions on love, not shalow graphics. if games actually looked like reality, ppl wouldnt play them, least not as many. thats the beauty of games, we dont want reality. We want fantasy. Halo is an XBOX game. The PS3 has its icon, and the XBOX has its icon. neither are better except in the eyes of the fans.

Ok!? I realize i'm not a real active member of the Forum Community, but everytime i get on here there seems to be some "fan" who seems to think that they have the Ultimate Feedback. Why all the negative messages? Why all the whining like little spoiled babies? Why haven't these complainers recieved the love they need at home as immature, I-Live-In-My-Parents-Basement-And-Have-Never-Done-Anything-Fo r-Myself, fools?
No one cares that your not going to buy a 360! Have fun playing Drake of the 99 Dragons on your old Xbox. Cause we all know, games on the 360 will never be that awesome.

I'm assuming Bungie is looking at this forum as a place for excitement and (if you must) constructive critiques. Please! Be happy that there are games such as the Halo series out there. I am, and i'm very excited for anything new from Bungie. I like well-crafted video games. I don't care if it's on a new system or not, things evolve and thus bringing about new and better systems. Lets all be mature, and enjoy games.

wow - in the same article we are coined "halo nation" we find out that half of our "nation" that made this game the success it is are being betrayed by not being able to play new content for the game we bought because we own the system it was designed to be played on.

That screenshot looks like a terd inside my toilet. Master Chief is the new clay monster

Now for the reasoning on why bungie wants to create new maps for x360 only because believe or not.. today is the release of PS3. So for the people who have original xbox, your -blam!- outta luck because bungie wants you to go out and spend your hard earned money on a new system because they are afraid xbox users are gonna transfer to sony. So anyways, its a bunch of bull to go out and buy an xbox to play HALO 2 maps.
ITS MARKETING

so the only way xbox is gonna get sells is through your lil mommy and daddy!

Hey dip-blam!- Nappy Al, ps3 doesnt come out till -blam!-ing tommarow. Go -blam!-ing shoot yourself. And yeah the ps3 is technically better but not worth $200 more. Oh yeah, so now because companies are "marketing" you arent supposed to buy their stuff? So......your saying the ps3 isn't marketing? Every company in the world is marketing.....it's how you sell your stuff dumn-blam!-. wow dude. I'm embarassed for you. And about the ONLY way the xbox 360 is going to sell is if "mommy and daddy buy it for you. So your saying by the first year's end (about a month or so), Microsoft had sold 1.5 million units to 1.5 million kids' parents? Good point dude, i think you really have a point there! And i dont think bungie is soooo woried about people switching to the ps3 when hundreds of thousands of people are still playing their game on xbox live more than a year after the launch. Dude, if your going to diss on something, actually try to make a point, not just an idiot out of yourself. thank you.
