I'm no console snob. I hate all consoles equally. They ruined PC gaming, afaic, even though the PC is a superior gaming platform. I've been cursing consoles since the Halo fiasco, when the game was made an XBox exclusive, destroying what was shaping up to be an incredible PC game. The console version and very-delayed PC port were just crap. Since then, most AAA PC game developers have been tripping over each other for a piece of the huge console market. Cross-platform development has taken it's toll on the PC versions of games, as games are designed for the lowest common denominator (consoles). The controls suck, the interfaces suck, the endless QTEs suck, the hand-holding sucks, the cover systems suck, the hide-and-wait healing sucks, the graphics suck, and most important of all, the gameplay sucks.

Thank FSM for indie developers who make PC games.

Wasn't that the guy that sold doritos for halo at the beginning?

To be fair, he never played Halo 3, but was only trying to. Similar to the millions, when it's actually released.

This video is wrong about the new Xbox!

It can't play Halo 3, because it's not backwards compatible.

Lindsey+Halo, I had to. =)

Hi @lucky760, Now that we are using iframe yt embeds, which support start and end like tubechop (ref http://apiblog.youtube.com/2012/06/all-good-things-must-come-to-end.html) I really wanted to chop off the end of this vid... but siftbot stole my param

Is this an easy thing to change, and if so, would you consider it?

My example vid, to which I wanted to add the param &end=230 is this one:

I like both. I absolutely LOVE Half Life and everything to do with that universe, I'll play it forever I don't even care if they release Half Life 3 (but seriously motherfuckers release the damn game!). That being said, I love Halo too, it's a great series. I don't mind that I have to play it with a joystick, it's just another challenge. I don't play PC games because I like to point and click more than joystick it, I play whatever games are good.

Um...I can watch TV just fine without a new $500 box. WHF MS?
And if there's really this 'no used game' feature, I guess gamefly won't be supporting them. There's a reason right there to not buy one. It seems to me that they implemented a huge number of features that I (and maybe most others) just don't care about at all, or even dislike. I don't want to pay for the ability to watch TV or integrated Kinect (there's a reason I never bought it).
Not a good look MS.
I sure hope they come out with the non-Kinect, non-disk tied, non-TV watching version for the rest of us soon, or we'll all have a ps4 and simply reminisce about playing Halo and Gears. HUGE misstep.

The presentation wasn't terrible, it was just full of "who gives a shit?" TV features? Don't give a shit. More Kinect? Never gave a shit in the first place. Halo tv series? Unless it's a game, don't give a shit. Sports games? REALLY don't give a shit. Call of Doody MW4? Stopped giving a shit a while ago

Nice, but they need to work on the HDR halo-ing and focusing on the foreground...

Oh and the lyrics i forgot to add on...

------
You complete my fate
The world unwinds inside of me
You complete my fate
The halo crawls away
You repeat my fate
Rewinding all we can
You refill my place
You refill my place

Come and save me
Come and save me

You complete my fate
The heavens stroll inside of me
You repeat my fate
Revealing who we are
You refill my place
You refill my place

Come and save me
Come and save me

Believe in me
Drink the wine
Take my hand
Fill me up

Believe in me
Drink the wine
Take my hand
Let me follow

After watching this I find myself kind of torn, a lot of this feels like Halo but dressed up in a different set of armor, mentally I was filling in a lot of the blanks with Halo names, like the Earth being destroyed by the Covenant and it seemed to fit nicely. That said, I kind of liked the Halo series, at least the parts I was allowed to play as a lowly PC gamer, but if this is going to be a console and or multiplayer only affair, then I suppose I can stop caring.
Oh, and then I saw this little gem over on Rock Paper Shotgun,
"We did a bunch of ambitious things on Halo deliberately to reach out to people. We limited players to two weapons, we gave them recharging health, we automatically saved and restored the game – almost heretical things to first-person shooters at the time. We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo ’cause nobody wants to."
Compliments of the studio's co-founder Jason Jones, I haven't experienced milk flying out of my nose like that since gradeschool.

"How could anything be bigger than Halo? I guess we'll find out."

Halo isn't even in the top 50 selling game franchises, and no, you won't find out anything. Everybody in this video is a deluded, lying corporate hack just like the Bungie forebearers that paraded around E3 2000 making PC gamers salivate worldwide before selling out to M$ a month later and claiming the series would never come to PC. Halo turned out mediocre anyways and was only taken seriously by bandwagon bro gamers. Karma is the only dish left on Bungie'$ menu.

Sounds impressive.

But they overpromised and underdelivered on Halo, too. I'll believe it when I see it.

I loved every second of that. Halo 4 is a great game, and making fun of it is definitely warranted.
