I Heart Halo

hmmm...looks pretty much the same as the last 3 Halo games (Halo 2/Halo 2.5& Halo ODST).....over leveraged brand with nothing new.....more looking forward to Modern warfare 2, bioshock 2, mass effect 2, Alan Wake etc.

You can tell all that from blurry screenshots of an unfinished game?! Your powers of deduction are amazing!
And anyway you can actually tell even from those shots the graphics look much improved. And if youre talking bout re-hashes you really shouldnt bring up MW2...

If fairness to ODST (I was a bit disappointed with it too), but it was only designed to be an add-on / mission pack type spin off from Halo 3 and not a full price release. It was probably the powers that be at Microsoft who thought that it would be a good idea (cash cow) to release it as a full retail release.

Shame, because as DLC or a cheapy mission pack it would have been OK.

Can't say I see much new in these screens though, but they're early enough so there's plenty of time to add something really new to the game, to refresh / reboot it after Halo 3.

New game engine apparently:

Even from the blurry shots, it looks like a noticeable improvement over the last engine.

hmm, I didn't know 'Reach' was a FPS.

Retr0gamer

Looks like Halo. In other words another lesson in generic first person shooter 101.

Otacon

I am shocked, retr0. Wading into a Halo thread to voice your disapproval. Its not like you! :pac:

On-topic: Not really interested in this just yet. They are going to have to do more to make this a purchase for me.

*yawn*

Took longer than expected Retro.

Vic Vinegar

It does look a fair bit better than 3/ODST there, even through those blurry images.

About time they got a new engine, lazy buggers!

A rehash of a game that was far far better in my personal oppinion than any of the Halo games, Just an oppinion...I'll still probably still get it anyway.

who cares halo is amazingly cr*p i didnt even bother playing odst becaus halo 3 was an epic heap o sh*t

Vegeta

Does it really only take slight graphical updates to excite people these days.

I enjoy playing the campaigns co-op in a LAN but other than that I find them pretty mediocre and never really understood the hype.

About the best thing I can say for them is that they are rock solid, I cant ever remember encountering a bug in one.

Still if it has a decent campaign I'd get it for the LAN action on legendary.

RAIN

All the same negatives can be applied to Modern Warfare infact I would bet that next Tuesday we will have folks branding MW2 with meh grenades and Probably rightly so.

It can't be that bad a game, it is still no1 on Xbox Live nearly 3 years after release.
This looks deadly, I am in a very physical relationship with the spartan lazer as it is, so the new look is doing it for me on all sorts of wrong levels.

DirkVoodoo

Oh no, please let's not get into some Modern Warfare versus Halo (which will inevitably breakdown into a PS3 versus Xbox rant).

Yes, Halo's formula is getting a bit long in the tooth. I thought ODST was a solid but overly familiar campaign, saved by one or two memorable battles (a not so memorable scarab encounter) and some great voice acting. Other than that, firefight could have been released as a stand alone add-on to Halo 3 for a tenner.

I think the Halo/Bungee philosophy is "if you build it, they will come".

As gay(-lo) as the story and campaign are, Halo 3 is my favorite multiplayer game in history....

I like COD 4 aswell, but I dont think the MP has a patch on Halo's, but thats my opinion, and opinions are like ar$eholes, we all have them!

Theres a story?

WolfForager

Played 30 minutes of the halo 3 campaign, couldn't stop comparing the feeling to a low fibre monday. Multiplayer is quite fun but i soon got sick of the screaming 12 year olds.

This looks the same a 3/ODST, Bungie have to move away from the "If it ain't broken don't fix it" frame of mind and realize that while it may not be broken it DOES eventually get old and outdated.

Sheepy99

i dont like halo.

CiDeRmAn

Mmmmm, I get warm joy joy feelings looking at this one!
Can't wait!
I have to say, only a fool with too much money plays a Halo game on normal and thinks he's seen it all so trades it in, they are fantastic on Heroic!
I am probably preaching to the converted but, well, you know, some don't get it!

So, when is this pencilled in for launch?
Autumn 2010?
Shouldn't there be a Gears Of War 3 around then?

Wait a second, the story is set in the future where we're fighting against aliens using spaceships and big-ass lasers and it doesn't capture your imagination? Jesus man, what do you usually think about?

DirkVoodoo

Last I heard, GOW 3 might not be seen for a long time. I think the official line was "waiting for the next generation of consoles".

Thats another thing, the guns are awful to say the least

Mickeroo

Screenshots look good. Do you play as the chief in this one again? I know he's not the only spartan in it this time around.

As for criticism of Halo, i see where it's coming from, halo 1 - 3 are essentially the same game, but if it aint broken dont fix it, and i think its wrth playing for the story line alone. Still, would be nice if they change it up a bit for this one.
