Yeah, I'm hoping that the next Halo game after Reach will follow up the ending of Halo 3.
Although I doubt Bungie will work on another Halo until the next xbox comes out.

You sound like a 12 year old whose first gaming system was the Xbox 360.

You can't possibly think that.

Its cool seeing the whole story like that. Especially since Ive only played Halo 1 & 2. I REALLY want to play Halo Wars and Halo 3, but I need a 360.

I always felt the AI in the Halo games were a bit brainless. Just massive waves of enemy AI.

The two things I will always give props to Bungie: 1. Amazing soundtrack in every game they produced in the Halo franchise. 2. The expansive battlefield during combat.

Halo is one hell of a solid franchise, and ODST does not dissapoint. Bungie sure know how to make a compeling shooter, at least I think so.

I only ever played Halo games at friends' houses, so story wasn't very important at the time. It's interesting to see this. However, it's still very complicated, especially due to the short time constraint. I think after a couple more views, I may actually understand it though.

I loved the tongue-in-cheek humor in this though. Especially the end. Haha.

Excellent Video. Very informative and helpful.

Obviously this will help the people who have not played any of the previous Halo games.

I love the Halo franchise. Thus, I will say this.

WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?

The story stopped making any sense when Halo 2 came out. Sorry Bungie, I don't like your trilogy, but thanks for at least going to Reach, since the books were awesome.

The story to the Halo series is amazing. Its a space opera story, and is becoming as deep as the star wars universe. Compelling music from Marty O'Donnell just like John Williams. Epic story that has multiple, intertwining characters, just like the star wars films. Unique and beautiful artistic design, just like star wars. Several novels and comics to expand the background story of the Halo universe, just like star wars.

Its a great universe, i cant wait for Reach and ODST. It amazes me how different it is from star wars though, and thats good that they tried to be different. Its kinda like how Uncharted tries really hard to be different from Indiana Jones, and pretty much pulls it off.

Yea well you probably havent read the novels either, or if i asked, you probably wouldnt be able to explain hardly anything i asked you about the story. Only the people who dont really understand it dont appreciate it. Thats ok though, it is the video game world you cant expect the same kind of intelligence you get from the film world.

Halo: In 5 seconds.

You turn it on.
You Shoot some aliens and drive around.
You beat the game and then play multiplayer for awhile.
The end.

Yeah well Half-Life goes a little deeper than that.

There's science n' stuff. Also physics puzzles

lol @ Half life goes "deeper"

they are shooters ffs, what are we expecting here?

give us interesting characters, good story, solid shooting and great action. If you don't like any of the above, avoid shooters all together.

The end.

While probably a joke, this is exactly why people have such a daft and ill informed ignorant opinion of it - they haven't played it long enough to have the first clue from their first impressions

At a glance it looks to play just like any other shooter of it's type but there is real depth past it's initial arcade style play

Halo is quite easily the best game of it's type

and don't forget fun. We play LAN parties for hours on Halo. The best of times. We have one planned at work in October. 100" HD screens, 4 people per console with 4 consoles. I can't wait.

Exactly like Killzone 2.

Except KZ2's graphics aren't tired and played out. Hell, Halo 3's graphics were tired and played out 3 years ago.

Of course if graphics are your highest priority then Killzone defenitley beats out Halo.

But then again what kind of gamer judges games on graphics?

I don't know, maybe one that doesn't want to settle for outdated visuals when he's playing his game of choice?

If you don't care about graphics and improved gameplay, then why don't you go buy yourself a Super Nintendo and play Mario again? That game was great, 15 years ago.

What would I be angry about?

I own all three consoles.
I don't need to make false claims like you 360 fanboys do.

Halo is an outdated shooter. Either they improve the game on all levels, or it's going to become a forgotten gem.

Disagree? Then you're a typical fanboy.

I love how the entirety of 3.2 games can be summed up in 5 minutes. Of course it is, in fact, Halo we are talking about here. So I guess it's not THAT surprising. Story? What story? I hate books and don't want to play a movie or anything that resembles intelligence, just give me a gun and let me shoot stuff with colors! And where's my ritalin!?! Just kidding... sort of. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I'm just glad I'm not that two dimensional.
