New Halo Game: And its Not What You Think

A 4 minute video for a new Halo game.

Halo: Interactive Strategy Game is a table top version of the hit shooter franchise. This video covers the rules and gameplay mechanics as you navigate around the play field. Coming soon, from Genius Products and B1 Games.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

I'm sorry but that is just pure stupid!

[facepalm]

::facepalm:: The milking of the CASH COOOOWWW!!

I agree... this thing is stupid.

[mohib-uddin7986532]

THIS IS SO NERDY?

i stopped watching

[Peekay]

- lol - the irony!
I thought Microsoft said they weren't gonna let the franchise be milked and that they were serious about catering to the fan base?

[orakga]

So sad... yeah, milkage begins.. Holiday 2008.

It's even lamer that between the boardgame demo, they had to insert footage from Halo 3.

[Kami]

is this the new bungie Halo game that everybody was expecting??
men if its, it sucks!

[Bnet343]

Looks cool but I don't play tabletop, I wish it was a real game. :/

[badz149]

that's insulting the Halo's name!

[Montrealien]

Am I wrong in saying that a table top board game has been is nothing new? This is a Video from the DvD that comes with it I presume. This is not one of the Video game being worked on, the title of the news article is a pure baiting. And I didn't know Acid was also a table top game, why are people comparing this to that?.

[marionz]

yeah sorry but this is really bad, i love halo but this is too tacky for words

[Andronix]

This game reminds me of Heroquest which was a family friendly version of Warhammer Roleplay. It did big business in Europe. Anyway this new Halo game has a simple map and uses a PC for stats/sound effects. Which makes you wonder if the kids using a PC would much rather play the real thing?!

If it was made into a real board game, ie a physical object, which the whole family could sit around the table and play, it would be a stronger product.

[Diugu]

I also believe it is cool that they are trying some different things.

I wish it was something else but still it is a nice try. I hope it works.

[Montrealien]

"If it was made into a real board game, ie a physical object, which the whole family could sit around the table and play, it would be a stronger product."

It is a real board game that you can sit around the table and play, this is just a promotional video. The fact that they talk about the DvD that comes with it should of made it clear. Sometimes I wonder if people actually look into what they are commenting on in this place. As I said earlier, the titles is such a bait title, bad editing if you ask me.

[godofthunder10]

I'm not into this kind of game but to call it stupid is childish.The fact is that they have a lot of games like this that's out,h*ll they have a lord of the rings,harry potter and other games just like it on the market.
Just because a person don't like something doesn't give them the righ to say stupid remarks like they are makeing.The fact is that they have a lot of people that love games like this.Just because a person don't like it doesn't give them the right to call it stupid,it just show how childish they are.They can't even respect the people that like games like thiis and it's pathetic and people should be ashamed of their selfs for saying things like that.
I've read post where people are saying that this is the game that microsoft promised but it's not.Bungi is working on the next halo game and they said that it would probaly be a sequal.
They have a lot of people laughing and saying that microsoft is milking everything that they can out of halo and they are right.The fact is that if mgs4 was as a big hit as halo was then sony would be doing the same thing and every one knows it.Sony isn't any better then microsoft,they are out to make money and would do any thing that they can to do so,the people that claim that this isn't true should never try and open up a buisness because they would bankrupt just as fast as they opened it.
I know that some mgs4 fans would claim that mgs4 was a bigger hit then halo was.The fact is that sony even made the remark that mgs4 didn't have the staying power that they hoped for.The fact is that sell figures doesn't lie,all anyone has to do is look up the sale figures of both games and halo outsold it 3 times or more then mgs4 sold far and this is a fact.
I'm not a halo fan and i don't like mgs4 but facts is facts.The people that try and change fact are just fanboys who can't face reality.o

[potenquatro]

halo theme condoms and rolling papers.

[KRUSSIDULL]

LoL that video most be fake!

[Overr8ed]

This is Horrible!!! Why would they do this!? Soon we are going to get a Master Chief Plushy.

[darkshiz]

The battle of the milkage begins!

Mario vs Masterchief vs Sonic

[darkshiz]

Duh Duh DONG!

A new challenger approaches.

Dynasty Warrior!

[theusedfake]

halo party and halo kart are coming,
you watch ;)

[Buju]

halo kart could be fun, no?

[theusedfake]

i'm sure it would be :)
it would probably sell like crazy too.
at least better than a board game anyway

[mohib-uddin7986532]

THIS IS SO NERDY?

i stopped watching

[10YearFlop]

It's a never ending cycle of disappointments for Microsoft :'(

[Chubear]

Oh how the mighty have fallen QQ

[Montrealien]

lol, and posting in the comments section of a video game web-site is not nerdy? Also, isnt this board game old news?

[jcfilth]

they will come up with some stupid games and put the name Halo in it to sell well, that's a really sad situation.

[LoVeRSaMa]

I cannot be any crapper then:

PHAILO 3.

[syanara]

as much of a ps3 fanboy that I am I still like halo and master cheif. but it looks like their doing to halo what nintendo did to mario they're putting him n alll sorts of games soon there will be halo tennis or halo golf thats what it looks like its leading up to

[theKiller]

destined to fail!!! its a kids game

[mohib-uddin7986532]

"New Halo Game: And its Not What You Think"

What i thought is that it would be Gay Porn. I always that that was associated with Halo

So this is what you call a halo. looks like a power ranger with a large fast moving butt. You know what kind of people have large fast mooving butt?

[SpecialSauce]

thats a little weird. i thought it was an extremely over rated video game. but it turns out that its just an extremely under performing board game.
lol board tokens!!!

[Zerodin]

So...it's power rangers then.

[pp]

Wow thats so awsome

[SpecialSauce]

that thought this was g@y porn and still watched the video.

is this a 360 exclusive too, or can i play it on top of my ps3?

[Cajun Chicken]

Seriously; you CAN'T fanboy a tabletop game based on a videogame franchise, no matter what game series, from what platform, you just CAN'T!

That's just hillarious, not to mention equally pathetic.

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

Of course it is pp, now, go back to your corner *taps pp in the back*.

[Blink_44]

LOL OMG GOTY

[ape007]

halo kart:double dash

master chief drive while the arbitar is behind him throwing frags

[10YearFlop]

I wonder which Xbot will come to the defense of it.

[Zerodin]

It's not even a console game!
How's a sub-humanoid like you NOT on my ignore list...lemme fix that.
No wonder you think the PS3 good. You saw 360, and mistook it for the PS3.

[juuken]

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Now hush up dear.

[thekingofMA]

what a relevant comment...

but i don't see where you're going with that link-to show how many good games for the 360 there are?

i checked the latest bit of your comment history, and you posted this link in another one of your "i think i'm smart by using condescending remarks" comments

and again, you posted the link when it was entirely irrelevant

so to "pull a juuken," i give you:

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

relevancy FTL?

[juuken]

But noticed that the PS3 doesn't have so many red marks? That was the whole point of my post. Your 360 fanatics claim you have so many games and yet...let's see...over twenty of them are flops...no wait, scratch that.

Add Flop Human to the list.

I'm sorry but you're an idiot.

[Montrealien]

172 games on the 360 and 88 games on the PS3 with a score higher then 75? not bad that's a lot of well received games to play. :P

my cup is half full, I heart videogames. And Flop human happens to be one of the coolest games I have played in a while. ;D

[10YearFlop]

Probably gonna Red Ring the Xbox 360 before the Menu Screen appears

[RonDeMuerte]

If they think they can get the typical Halo crowd to embrace these stupid Halo wars and strategy games....the typical Halo fanboy is FPS shooter player, and most don't care for the story just the multiplayer.....my brother who's a Halo fanatic (we get along, but we don't talk much..) admitted that Halo has no story, he's just addicted to the online portion with his friends....the only thing Microsoft is accomplishing with these different genre Halo games is alienating their fans......hahahahaha which I'm all for by the way.....f@ck up the Halo formula Microsoft!!!!!!

[tako2000]

how come this game remind me so much of MGS:Acid...

[pwnsause]

lol they copied Metal Gear Acid LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL so whats next to copy Micro$oft????

[silverchode]

pokemon?

[Bladestar]

ohhh.. don't go there kid... Metal Gear didn't not invent this type of gameplay... we can go as far as to mention games such as Konami's Vandal Hearts, Square's Final Fantasy Tactics and Front Mission 3 and Sega's Shining Force 3...

here is a link of a bunch of games where Metal Gear Acid took the concept from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

I don't blame you are probably 10 years old... you are one of those sony leg humpers that think that gaming started and ends with Sony... boy you kids are wrong...

[juuken]

Um...Bladestar, wikipedia is not a very accurate source of information. People go in there and change information every single day. :)

[pwnsause]

LOLOLOL quit spinning bladestar, and stop using Wikipedia, its not a valuable source of information, LOLOLOLOLOL didnt your professors tell you not to use content that has been edited by 4chan and the rest of the Bowels of the internet?

[Bladestar]

"wikipedia is not a very accurate source of information" and "stop using Wikipedia, its not a valuable source of information"... you see? exactly the point I was trying to make... the games listed in that page are practically known many most gamers... I didn't think I needed some super official site to prove that those games actually existed... are you saying that those games didn't exist because they are listed on wikipedia? I simply used this page because it was a compiled list... sad... as I can see it seems like you guys never heard of these games hence why if they are not in a non-wikipedia site you take them as if they never existed.

hilarious!

[pwnsause]

LOL Bladestar, another uneducated person, just like some of the bots on the site LOLOLOLOL. http://media.www.bcheights....

Read this bladestar,you might learn something. Thank me when your college professor gives you an A on your essay for using reliable information.

[juuken]

And Bladestar has been owned by pwnsauce!

[Cajun Chicken]

I've played some of them on emulators, but that's like saying all RPG's copy from Final Fantasy, all FPS's copy off of Doom and all platformers copy from Mario.

Which we all know they don't; they branch out, but some of the gameplay mechanics really did come from a few of those games, with the board game like interface and the cards but some of these games did come out years before.

Be happy! Those games you possess would of probably never be made if it wasn't for its predecessors!

[Bladestar]

Genius... how did I get own? I never said Wikipedia was a reliable source... I would not use it for a scientific research or perform surgery... the same way I would not call "reliable" to practically anything on any game site... but the wikipedia page I showed you didn't need to be proven reliable or not... I didn't think you kids would need some officially seal and approve my the Global University of gaming to actually know that the page simply contains a list of games that every gamers older than 12 years old recognize (by experience!)... the page was intended to make you go, "ahh yeah... I remember those games.. and yes.. they are Tactical games I used to pay"... it was not intended to make you go, "ohh I never seem this games.. so please show me some official site that prove that those games actually existed"... you are indeed 12... the list of games on this wikipedia does not need to be confirm by some legit site.. you should know them...

You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

LOL

[Nodoze]

All FPS games ARE copies of Doom as they invented the genre.

There were no FLS games before Wolfenstein/Doom!

Also as far as I know, Mario was the first platformer.

So in a way all subsequent games are evolutions of these titles.

[butterfinger]

This child is a really funny piece of sh!t when he calls other kids, yet he can barely spell anything correctly or use proper grammar. Get a grip, fanfagg0t. You are probably the biggest fanfagg0t on this whole site.

[quiquitos]

it was a user made video but it seems like its actually a game omg i have no words to describe how lame this sounds no it has to be fake it just does

[adlt]

I totally love this...not

[dro]

is this ment to be a joke,even the girl/charters is funny,for a second i tought it was a fan made video and not a real game!!!

i lol so much

(>_<)

[dro]

:(hahaha) -----> PP ....(>_<)

XD

[u are my game slaves]

this game is pure a$$

its not even funny,its just plain dumb and foolish!!

i wonder what they will do to halo 4,5,6,7,8,9,10...e.t.c

this has to be the worst halo spin off

:'( ...very sad,an ugly.....yes ugly :'(

[u are my game slaves]

wtf is wrong wiv u pp!!!if u like this then u have serious problems,and i mean "serious problems" (-_-)

[Reibooi]

wtf.

[beavis4play]

is that video a joke?

[u are my game slaves]

an she said the possbilties are endles...i know another game that used that proper and shows it off so much better....its coming october ;D

[jerethdagryphon]

this is actually the first halo game that intersts me

i see potential in the mapping for use in dad d mondern :)

well ignore the halo part

otherwise
this is flagrent milking

[rosebowl23]

lol gay

to be honest it looks more fun than the real halo though. should be an xbox live arcade game

[Premonition]

I hope that this isnt the same game that Bungie was held back from showing at E3, cause if it is, someone needs a big slap up side their head.

[CommonSense]

i thought that too, at first. but i doubt they'd show a board game at E3. there's gotta be something else in the works.

This does look really silly though. and it does seem like they are milking the franchise. but i suppose there's an off chance this would be a fun family game. i used to play board games with my family every weekend and we always had a good time. this might be a good way for parents to connect with their kids. kids love master chief.

i won't be buying it though.

[Bladestar]

lol.. anti-halo people are just pissed companies are willing to pay a license fee to Microsoft in order to make a halo-base board type game... something that no company would be willing to do for any PS3 game... stop hating.. if a company is willing to pay for the right... duhh Microsoft is not stupid.. I am sure that Sony would love to be in that position..

[25]

i would not want a God of War strategy game. that would just kill the GOW franchise for me. but you know what? u enjoy this game when it comes out. i think that it sucks. but thats just my humble opinion.

[CommonSense]

i think the point is, master chief sells, and they want more money. take it for what it is. it kinda sucks, but you can't really blame them. money money money.

[SoulBrotha3292]

this has 2 be a joke and its not by bungie so its not the halo 4 we are all expecting...

[monkey602]

I'm finding it very hard to believe this is true

EDIT: Seriously has anybody heard of this before now? I'm sorry if I seem a little sceptical but the source is a user video from gametrailers.com

[Mr BlueScreen]

It's different from the other halo games. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't mind a game like this. To some it would be cool. Just not my cup of java(Computer pun!). I think it is kinda like milking the goat a little bit though.

[CViper]

lol

[juuken]

Lolz.

Wow...just wow. This gives a whole new definition of 'milking the cow'.

[DiLeCtioN]

but i cant see myself enjoying that game

[cmrbe]

another power ranger game for 10 year old power ranger gamers.

[jack who]

it will sell like hot crack in a durgfree zone!111

[Lou-Cipher]

@ the used fake
LOL. Halo cart & halo party I can see it now.

Here is a few more statagies for MS to consider

Halo Pinata
Halo fit
Halo monopoly
Halo pets
halo sports
halo lego
halo quiz show
Halo Eye Toy
Halo band
Halo theft auto
Halo & clank

I am running out of ideas now

[juuken]

Halo Gaiden.
Halo Caliber.

...*shrugs* I tried to help, lol.

They're milking this franchise to death.

[HighDefinition]

Halo & Clank was the best one, IMO.

I would rather play Lego Halo, then the actual Halo.

[Qbanboi]

Halo Rain

[theusedfake]

very good additions lol ;)

you forgot:

halo gear solid
halo idol
halo:world tour
ea's halo project (come on, you KNOW they're trying)
halo tactics advance
halo flavored milk and fruit juice
halo karaoke
halo vs. 100
and
halo leaf green

i know that i've missed a few, sorry :(

[Sanhlami]

Don't forget the biggest games!

halobigplanet
halozone

[Figboy]

made me lol. i'd actually like to see that one.

let Bungie and Insomniac collaborate.

actually, that's not a bad idea at all...

[kazan]

Too Halo :D

[qwertyuiopasdfghjkl]

Is that a 3rd grader narrating this garbage?

[patterson]

please consider eating at Taco Bell where you'll be able to get a limited edition Halo super-XXL-size drink cup with Master Chief posing with a gun looking up and to the right with the sun reflecting off his visor sponsored by Mountain Dewwww ESPN X-games! lol

[SSCOOLCHEA]

just say halo and they will come .....

[DreamcastFanboy]

lol.

[Qbanboi]

Wow, that was.... different

[Dyingduck]

LOL, the should renamed genius production to geek production LOL

[turbidDwarf]

I guess you actually CAN play Halo on a Playstation!

[10YearFlop]

Camping Trips are always fun as we use the Xbox 360 for heat at night

[CouchKing0]

Even though the Xbox 360 is crap, it makes a pretty decent heater.

That much is true...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA!

[rbluetank]

This looks like fly shiaytee on the back of an ants a@ss. Bungie wanted to break a press conference scheduling for this shiatyee game demo... Mega Bucks for Never=M Soft for not showing this shiayte after FF13...briefing. they could make more money on shiatye paper with Mchief face on it then this turd of a game,, The sloang can be call (get your cheeks relief with a spool of Mcheif 4ply tissue) proudly made by never=m soft tissue company in conjuction with Bungie. We want all of your load because nothing esle will make us feel better then wipe your A@$$ Clean...

[Deathlord26]

wow. way to conform Halo. i cant beleive they want me to pay for that. that game is internet flash game quality. THE NEXT HALO GAME IS A FREAKEN STRATEGY BOARD GAME!

[CrizzleC24]

Im a 360 fanboy (read my comments if you dont believe),

This is the biggest disappointment since I learned PSP 2000 was just a light psp(and not a psp2).

I thought it'd be something epic and cool but this is just Final Fantasy Tactics with guns.

Here's what would have been cool, Halo 0.5 (rise of master chief) Halo 4, Halo MMOFPS (oh god yes!) or Marathon Zero(meh,boooring actually).

Ok so now that I admit that this game will suck before it comes out, PS3 owners have to admit that Little Big Planet also looks silly (I mean dolls for pre-ordering sounds like a negative, how do you walk out of gamestop thinking your a man with a doll?).

That last comment will catch fanboy heat but who gives a shizz since this whole site has gone PSN4G~

Now lets see how many idiots can say something stupid after this (why do I even go on open zone anyways?)

[The-Director]

the sound acting is soooo lame

[Pika-pie]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Let the Milk-a-thooooooooooon Begiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!

[_Q_]

you beat me

[Needles]

what the hell? a bord game, that better not be what i waited for drooling in the E3...HOPEFULLY NOT!

[Needles]

this cant be...WTH! WORST NEWS EVER!, it cant be true, i simply wont believe it.

[Draperc]

...

[jay2]

That sucks, no buy from me.

[Firstkn1ghT]

I'm the biggest Halo fan but this looks lame. It's unfortunate other companies are trying to cash in on the Halo name. I guess that's what happens when your one of the most successful franchises in history.

[thereapersson]

Oh, wait...

[fopums]

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a few certain sites give that 10/10 across the board ;)

[Varg]

Can't anyone se how much bullshit this is. Like they would use Halo 3 charactermodels in a new game. MS and Bungie would never let this happend. ^^

[RememberThe357]

Give me a video game damn it!

[THC CELL]

Flop
xbox is going down hill

Metal gear should bring a acid game to ps3

[dabizo]

THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT IT NOOOOOOOOOOW.... But I dont own a 360 anymore :(
If Microsoft rease more games that are a bit different I will have to get an Elite.

[ROCCOZILLA]

what complete garbage,next they will have gaylo shoes.oh wait....sorry they do.what a joke!PLAY B3YOND waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay B3YOND!!

[ForROME]

If that isnt a pile of crap I dont know what is, If they were doing a pre or new halo I might have picked a 360 up

[Alcohog]

Milk that cow!

[Old Snake]

Is this a joke?

[Lifetrigger]

that since Bungie isn't with MS anymore, that they let Sony put this game on thier new PSP 3000 when it comes out and it becomes a huge hit? MS will cry thier eyes out XD

[III MIKIE III]

What a load of utter s**t!!.

[jerethdagryphon]

a rise of the master chief would have been fairly dull

as those who have read the books know books are considered canon

ages 5-14 training in military hard ass boot camp
14-18 underwent conversion process trained in new abilitys went on a couple of basic missions
(no armor)

19-20ish more basic misisons then read fell they got basic armor (noshield) and fought on reach

a multiplayer fps would be ok if you mean battlefield halo .but it would be marines as all spartans are dead before halo 2

the game would be a standard fps theres not enough 'bling' in his early life to make a viable prequal

[Arsenic13]

Eww. Not even gonna try it.

[chinesesoldier]

yayzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz another big fail! why do i even bother buying a xbox 360 this christmas? oh yeah, its cheaper tahn the PS3...

[jerethdagryphon]

ms owns the halo ip that was part of the bungi liberation deal

halo will always be xbox+pc

[Figboy]

did i just hear a cow "moo?"

[thehitman]

Halo==nxt mario

[Markh2001]

omg this is 1 of the worst games ever i really hope micro dont bring it out it looks so boring and a game for 5 year old seeing as it looks like lego but on telly

[davedixson]

Its not a video game - it is actually a board game. If you bothered to read just above the video you would see it says new halo board game.

I guess that the video was was all taken from the dvd that comes with it.

[Sanzee]

Well its good to know that this is NOT one of bungie's upcoming projects! It's proof that microsoft IS milking the series. Too bad. But at least Bungie has something dope on the way.

[JUSTICEFORALL]

i just hope your right dude

[Sanzee]

This is a board game!!!

AHHH RUN!!

[IPlayGames]

They didnt show this at E3

[JUSTICEFORALL]

what the f**k did i just saw? this is really really stupid, im a die hard halo fan but dude what the hell?

[Stickguy259]

I think it looks pretty good.

There, I said it.

[SolidSnake93]

I actually see this as a great idea, a Halo board game, it looks like fun, and if they charge it at a decent price I will buy it.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

No wonder they didn't enounce this at E3..
