October 5, 200718 yr A new franchise would be nice. But this doesn't sound like anything bad. It actually sounds beneficial. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
October 5, 200718 yr This just sounds like Bungie is getting too big to be worth being run as a part of Microsoft. Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
October 5, 200718 yr On Penny Arcade, they were discussing what an Irrational developed Halo would look like. Bungie is great, but this hardly means Halo is dead. Maybe we'll see Myth again!
October 5, 200718 yr will we get to see a real myth three now? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
October 5, 200718 yr On Penny Arcade, they were discussing what an Irrational developed Halo would look like. It's a nice thought, but you can't fix stupid. Maybe we'll see Myth again! I think they're calling it "Warcraft" now. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
October 5, 200718 yr Myth and Warcraft don't really have anything in common. If anything, Myth is an early precursor to a game like the Total War series. You don't manage resources, you use formations and terrain to win battles.
October 5, 200718 yr Oh noes! No moar haloes! Halo 3 took $300M in its first week. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
October 5, 200718 yr Not bad for a game that has been described to me as "boring." Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer. @\NightandtheShape/@ - "Because you're a bizzare strange deranged human?"

October 5, 200718 yr I'm sure the Half-Life series still did better sales-wise than the whole Halo trilogy. Rain makes everything better.
October 5, 200718 yr I'd be very surprised if that was true. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
October 5, 200718 yr I'm sure the Half-Life series still did better sales-wise than the whole Halo trilogy. Not to break your hopes, but that's impossible. The very fact Halo made mroe than any other movie or game in it's first day makes surpassing it in terms of sale impossible for years. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
October 5, 200718 yr Not bad for a game that has been described to me as "boring." Better sales on the first day then any game released, and posting stuff like "yeah well my friend said it was boring" doesn't really help much.
October 5, 200718 yr Not bad for a game that has been described to me as "boring." Better sales on the first day then any game released, and posting stuff like "yeah well my friend said it was boring" doesn't really help much. Also a bigger marketing push than any other game ever released. I wonder if there's a causal relation here... "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
October 6, 200718 yr Oh noes! No moar haloes! They basically say in the article that they are going to make more Halo games. Most likely no Halo 4 but there will be spin off games "
October 6, 200718 yr Myth and Warcraft don't really have anything in common. If anything, Myth is an early precursor to a game like the Total War series. You don't manage resources, you use formations and terrain to win battles. Warcraft 3 seemed to take after Myth quite a lot, both in the "run the gauntlet!" style of gameplay and the "put your ass to sleep!" boringness.

October 6, 200718 yr Right, and Half Life 2 was built upon the ideas introduced Halo 1, that's why it was trite and dull. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
October 6, 200718 yr It's all about availability. What Half-Life is for PC fans, Halo is for the Xbox kiddi...ahm fans. Besides, most of the customers are herd animals. The marketing just needs to create a phenomenal storm of hype, and no matter whether it holds actual ground or not, many people will just buy into it. How else could you explain a mediocre SciFi FPS to be so successful? Edited October 6, 200718 yr by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
October 6, 200718 yr I'm gonna have to say the first Halo wasn't "mediocre", else even the hype wouldn't have saved it. The other two, however, had (and have) so much hype it didn't matter if it was (or is) crap. Besides, you can't call "Halo" a mediocre shooter. Average, yes. Non-innovative, yes. But the game is definitly not a piece of horrid crap. Edited October 6, 200718 yr by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking.

October 6, 200718 yr Besides, you can't call "Halo" a mediocre shooter. Average, yes. Non-innovative, yes. lol waht? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

October 6, 200718 yr lol that I meant it doesn't innovate as much as it should, but it's still a fun shooter. Hmmmz... it seems I've said something stupid. I think I'll go away now... "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?

October 6, 200718 yr Yeah no doubt that it's fun. But "fun" alone isn't enough for me anymore to waste time and money on a game. Edited October 6, 200718 yr by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
