Why all the Sony hate?

Microsoft isn't in it for image, they're in it for control of the living room... And future profits. Just like any other company, particularly your beloved Nintendo. After all, they are charging $250 for a slightly higher-specced GC. Is it worth it? That's up to you but stop pretending like they're looking out for your greater good. They just want your cold, hard cash just like any other company.

That's great you don't like shooters. Many don't and that's fine. But if you think Bungie walked into Halo with the idea "we're going to make a generic shooter funded by Microsoft", you should just shut the hell up right now because it's blatantly obvious that you know very little about the history of gaming.

/end rant

I swear to God, I don't know which group of fanboys is most annoying around here. I think it's a toss-up.

Oh, I know a lot about the history of gaming, as I am 27 now and have played video games for 20 years. I just happen to disapprove of war games. But I won't start arguing about that, I've long given up on that. Especially if my "opponent" is from the US, then it's completely futile.

Well, I'm 30. So I guess I have you beat. *sigh*

If you were that "into gaming history", you would have known that Bungie was originally a Macinotosh developer and that they were hyping Halo as a Mac platform based off their Marathon game.You would also have realized that Halo at the time was breaking boundaries of distance, open space, and general open gameplay. It was also a computer game at the time.

Then Microsoft bought them and turned Halo into an Xbox game right before the original game was to be released.

But I guess somehow Bungie just made a "general shooter funded by Microsoft" and called it a day despite the fact that they had been working on the game for two years before MS even bought out the company.

And BTW, your comment about war games and US citizens only reeks of ignorance. How about actually making an argument? I'll play, bitch. If you make generalizations about an entire country of 300 million people, I'll be more than happy to argue, you ignorant bastard.
