| Endz said: The problem is the timing as another person stated, one that they didn't start milking the franchise back with xbox but now milking/releasing halo too much all at once on xbox 360. They should have spread it all out. I wouldn't be surprised if they let you add your "avatar" in a halo game at some point. |
Not going to happen. Avatars are only possible in games without violence.
I am objecting to the fact that they are releasing an expansion and two games in the same year.
Also, @SHMUPGurus, those are from three different series and two different developers. I mean, I would have no objection if they were timing this right, but two new games and an expansion being released at the same time just seems over the top.
And these are all spin-offs. None of them feature Master Chief, without whom Halo is really nothing, making them truly entirely different games with the magical four letters added on.
So here we are: Halo without Bungie, without Master Chief, without run and gun action.
Two different spin offs to Halo in 2 different genres.
I guess Metal Gear kind of did this with Metal Gear Acid, but I found that pretty annoying too, especially since it was such a failure.
Note: I am partly annoyed because Sony has yet to announce anything important at TGS. Well, the main conference hasn't happened yet, so hopefully something will turn up to counter all of these "Microsoft has won TGS" arguments
1. They will release Halo Wars in Early 09 and Halo 3: Recon in Fall 09. I'm pretty sure Halo Chronicles won't come out until 2010. We know nothing about this game and haven't seen a single screenshot. => I see no problem
2. Halo is nothing without Masterchief ? WRONG
He is an important character, but the Halo universe is far more than just one spartan. I want to know what happened before Masterchief and that's why I'm looking forward to play Halo Wars. I want to know what happened from a view of a normal soldier. That's why I'm looking forward to play Halo 3: Recon
