You do realize that Bungie said nothing of the sort right? They came out right away and said this was CGI and that a company that really only does CGI work made it for them. So lets not be so childish and make things up ok? Thanks.

1.6 - Agreed.
FFXIII was the reason why MS held off on Halo. Square said that it was a last-minute decision to bring FFXIII to 360. MS realized that they didn't need Halo this time. Everyone thought that the 360 was out of ammo. Instead, they had more than enough ammo with Gears 2, Fable 2, massive dash overhaul, Netflix, game installs, and FFXIII.

1.7 - More than enough ammo?
That's like re-using bullet casings, in my opinion all they had was a grenade (FFXIII). And even that grenade had a faulty pin on it.

After GeoW2 and F2 drop Microsoft will go back to their strategy of relying on multiplatform games to get them through the first 8 months of the year :P

1.9 - why does it have to be halo?
If microsoft is still the publisher, they'd still be able to have a good amount of control over the advertising. The fact that, as publisher, they control a lot of the money going to bungie and have enough to throw at them to stay shut up, makes it at least an uncertainty.

Call of Duty 4?
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2?
Resistance: Fall of Man?

Seriously dude...if you haven't played RFOM, which you haven't, you should. The online is incredible.

Also, Call of Duty 4 already beat out Halo 3. What are you smokin'?

A squad based game ala SW: Republic Commando or RS: Vegas would be awesome. I am sure in the next couple of months we will hear more.

If you don't like it, you'll sell it to me, right? I need a new one.

Also...MGS4 has phenomenal online. You people pay no attention to anything anybody says do you...?

We're not "stuck" doing anything but enjoying our games. The PS3 is owning now and you all know that. It was coming and we all saw it. You doubted it, for some strange reason, but the PS3 is gaining ground and fast.

So, lay off the trash talk and just go play your Halo...or did you trade that in for Call of Duty 4? Sometimes I get mediocre crap mixed up with masterpieces...you know how that is, right?

When is LittleBigPlanet coming out for the 360, by the way?

G4 Game of the Show anyone?

Has anyone plugged up a 360 and a ps3 next to one another and checked out how much content each one has over there respective networks (movies, demos, videos). I'm coming out 100% biased but I'll still say it, 360 has more demos on live than ps3 has games. Please check it out for yourself...

Maybe someone should "accidentally" leak the teaser trailer, then we could all see what Bungie is up to. ;)

If this Halo game is Halo 4, it will have a LOT to live up to. When there's shooters like COD4 that have basically set the standard and other upcoming shooters Killzone 2 that are pushing the graphical limits of 7th generation consoles and introducing the First Person Cover system and Resistance 2 that are taking multiplayer to the next level in a FPS console game, if Halo 4 doesn't have anything else to offer, it will just be "another first person shooter" but of course to the Halo fans it will be much more.

I seriously don't know why Microsoft was holding back the trailer because they didn't announce or show off ANY 1st party games for 2009 and beyond and this trailer could have proven that Microsoft does have a 2009 lineup at least.

Youre confusing GoldenEye with Halo for the console FPS standard thing

everyone knows halo came out long before GoldenEye. and has a better title. no one even has a golden eye so halo is more realistic too.
Shut this user up Let user speak
LeonSKennedy4Life - 526 days 6 hours ago
8.5 - yeah
It was Goldeneye.

If you're talking about the GC/PS2/Xbox generation, Agent Under Fire set the standard. It lacked online though.

Seriously, it's still some of the best multi-player. I play it all the time.

Halo was great and all, but they took everything from Tribes.

squad based multiplayer only. Hoping for 25 vs 25 Spartans vs Elites with different classes. and bring the gameplay back from Halo CE.

11 - maybe for TGS?
Bungie informed fans that plans had been changed on Tuesday, later promising something “further down the road.” Meanwhile, Microsoft maintains that the announcement was held back for a “more dedicated event.”

Maybe they will say something at TGS or X08.

12 - Yeah, it would be too much
Because Halo 3 killed PS3, right? And DMC4 going multiplat did too right? And so would FFXIII coming out on 360 in 2010 did too right? Yeah, a CG trailer would kill them. Forget about the actual line up.

12.1 - PS3 has been poisoned!
Competing with the largest selling exclusive of this generation and losing formerly third party exclusives from previous generations is like a slow poisoning. PS3 is dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

I'm looking forward to it a lot. Hope its Halo 4.

I wish they had shown it at the show. Personally I didn't get what I wanted from MS at the show because the new IP's they showed were all for casual gamers - a new core game could have sealed the show for them.

Lets hope we get some deatils sooner rather than later.
