How's the weather in Liverpool?

Bolts6844d ago

LOL this hype is getting quite silly. I played damn the beta and it wasnt all that. The only thing I like about Halo is that everyone is in bring colors so its easier to pwn them than in Gears or GRAW2.

i Shank u6844d ago

love the pic of halo man, hahaha lmao
halo is awesome because with it, i get to play an awesome game, and also get alot of laughs from all the losers hating on the net

sajj3166844d ago

To have a mini site dedicated to the launch by a general gaming site? There is no denying the popularity of Halo. I wonder if there is another title that 1up or EGM would do this for. It is quite transparent their affectionate love for Halo. No wonder they dogged the Killzone 2 AI.

ktchong6844d ago (Edited 6844d ago )

EGM and 1UP.com also have minisites for other games like MGS4 and Mass Effect. However, other minisites are not active right now because their launch dates are so far away.

Only successful franchises and developers that have proven their worth get their own minisites. Halo games consistently received review scores of 90%+ (according to GameRanking and MetaScore.) MGS series consistently got scores of 90%+. BioWare (the developer) has scored 90%+ for every single one of their game.

On the other hand, the first Killzone game got 73% at GameRanking and 70% at MetaScore. The developer, Guerilla, has NOT even had a real hit yet. So far, both the franchise and the developer have not proven themselves beyond the hypes. Maybe if the Killzone franchise or Guerilla the developer has finally proven themselves, they will get their own minisite.

THAMMER16844d ago (Edited 6844d ago )

Seems like you need a pick me up. So I'll give you one..O.K.

PS3 is cool too, and one day...just one day (in the future) the PS3 will have a game as cool as Halo 3. It is coming just you wait and see. At that point you can stop acting like a immature and ignorant child and you will stop trolling this site with lame attempts to be funny or flame.

edit: Cool you like losing bubbles. Why do you hate Halo so much? What valid reasons do you have?

Mr PS36844d ago

For picking me up i did'nt realise i'd fallen but cheers and good of you to admit that one day the PS3 will have a game as cool as Halo??? W.T.F Hell even Blip tennis is better than Halo 3 Ha Ha now go on and get ready to give your nerdy PC crossover consoleing buddies a virtual high 5 when you Oh so own someone by shooting them Oh im so jelous of the Oh so loud and colourful Halo 3!!Come with me my fellow Xbums and lets defend our Halo and anyone who dare say anything bad about this oh so load and colourful game. They shall get all of our fancy insults like TROLL,and FLAME,and FANBOY!!! Ha Ha you got me there that was a low blow did'nt see that one comming better go anyway dont forget the louder the colours the bigger the statement and the statment is HALO SUCKS just like all the xbums on this site. I'm here to add a little more colour on this site admitedlly not as much as in the shambolic Halo but anyway be loud and proud come out of the closet and don't be afraid to wear bright colours and confess to the world I AM GAY AND I'm GONNA BUY HALO!!!!!!!!

THAMMER16844d ago

So what you are really saying is that your pissed that Halo 3 is a game and it is bigger and more popular than the PS3 all together. Such envy and hate shame on you. War Hawk is out go play some it mite help you with your hate problem. Games are fun.

beavis4play6844d ago

the "minisite" concept is stupid and i don't care what game it would be for. successful games don't need it and it just caters to the psychotic fanboys of any system.

ktchong6844d ago

This is a Halo 3 news, and this news is in the Xbox 360 channel - only.

why are you Sony trolls even doing in the Xbox 360 channel in a Halo 3 news thread??

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_213d ago

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

Tacoboto213d ago

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

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay212d ago

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

thesoftware730212d 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.

medman208d ago (Edited 208d 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.

Travesty213d ago

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

monkey602213d 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

Travesty213d 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.

jjb1981213d 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.

crazyCoconuts213d ago

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

Inverno213d 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.

JEECE212d 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.

isarai213d ago

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

franwex213d ago

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

Software_Lover212d 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.

TheColbertinator213d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia213d 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.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii874d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies874d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
