NO freakin way are u serious yes cannot wait XD

JaggedSac6303d ago

Oh, yeah, this is gonna rock.

Bnet3436303d ago

That's crazy nice, 24 maps not bad. I will be buying ODST as well. I got Halo 2, Halo 3, will be getting Halo Wars. All I need is the original Halo and I'm good. Halo rules!!!

Spike476303d ago

the multiplayer was fun though.

Bladestar6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

"the multiplayer was fun though." what do you think Halo 3 was all about?

Can you name a PS3 game that have more online players than Halo 3? There is a reason why Sony does not release online stats.

When you connect to xbox live the first thing you see is the hundreds of thousands or millions of people connected. Which PS3 game does that?

I mean think about it... Halo 2 still have a ton of people playing it online... Can you name a PS2 game?

Do people even play Resistance 1 or any exclusive game that came out more than 6 months ago? and if So, you have to be an idiot to imply that any of those games come close to halo.

Trust me the next Halo will focus a lot on graphics... but as Bungie said way before the game came out. They tried to keep the game truth to Halo 2 and their focus was not graphics.

Lots of people can bash Halo 3 saying how much it sucked but there is a reason why people keep playing it.. and once they beat and play the new games... they all seems to find their way back into Halo... this does not have with any PS3 game yet.

That's why I'm happy Microsoft made Halo wars.. I am an RTS fan... and if Halo FPS is a sign I am expecting this game to be supported by Microsoft for a long time... new content new maps..

we also hear lots about how the PS3 is future proof... but it's games are not... take a look at Halo 3... a new big upgrade coming this fall... Halo 2 even got a map pack right when Halo 3 came out.

PS3 is so future proof but it's games are forgetting within months. Where's Heavenly Sword? Encharted? and all the other good PS3 games? how come there is no support? If there is a great game... gamers appreciate enhancements... not to keep paying $60 for another game.

Same goes for multiplayer... when these old games stop selling.. what do you think they will keep all those server alive?

MasterBlaster6303d ago

So a game has to be realistic to deserve high scores? In case you haven't realized Halo isn't about realism, it's all about fun and competition. You just said it was fun twice in your statement. Isn't that what gaming is all about? Having fun.

pumpkinpunker6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

also, notice that Sony never releases worldwide console sales numbers either. My guess is they've sold less than what the tracking agencies are giving them credit for.

Sony has a lot to hide. They're in worse trouble than they're letting on.

Oh yeah, right now Halo 3 is selling about the same ammount worldwide from month to month as Resistance 2 and Halo 3 has been out one and a half years.

BLUR1116303d ago

NO... no no!! it's about KILLZONE 2 GRAPHICS not fun.

I_LOVE_MYSELF6303d ago

Erm Uncharted (Encharted) got a trophy patch, a home space and is getting a sequel this year... Theres the support :-)

marichuu6303d ago

Basically science-FICTION has to be REALISTIC?
Oxymoron right there :>

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_191d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto191d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay191d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730191d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty191d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602191d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty191d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981191d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts191d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno191d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE191d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai191d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex191d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover191d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator191d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia191d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

This collab proves that New Halo games coming to Playstation: CONFIRMED

The last pillar has fallen XD

Tedakin271d ago

I mean Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox in 2 weeks. It has a Playstation Studios logo on it. The first pillar has fallen.

lukasmain271d ago

LOL you think a live service game is a Playstation pillar? hahahahahaha

1Victor269d ago

The first pillar has fallen.
🤦🏿 Well the competitor’s house already got 2/3 pillars down and the 3rd one is rotted to the core about to fall any minute now bringing down the glass house of cards down FOREVER 🤣
THE WAR IS OVER DEAL WITH IT

Reaper22_269d ago

It doesnt matter. You can get playstation stuff on PC. That pillar fell a long time ago. And next gen it will continue to fall.

Tedakin271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

@lukasmain Their one successful live service game, and their most successful game in the last few years. Yeah I do.

lukasmain271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

It's not a pillar. Expect ALL live serviice games to come over. That includes that upcoming Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls as well at some point. But the PILLARS are the amazing single player games. The games they built their brand on. Helldivers LAUNCHED on PC. It's not a Playstation Pillar
