Good to see. Hopefully M$ can create some more 1st party games



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

Proof that Halo may be going more sandbox in the future?


It may be going for that,but that's not proof one way are the other.


Pandemic has only done sandbox games this gen... I agree it isn't proof, but more of a hint.

Bungie hired someone from the Rainbow Six series, but Reach isn't a squad shooter

lol. are you sure? I see 5 spartans around when I see reach footage...

you're not going to be able to tell your temamates what to do. Just because you have teammates doesn't make it a squad shooter; Halo 3 and ODST had teammates and that didn't make it a squad shooter.

 

definition of a squad shooter- A tactical, squad-based shooter is a variation on the shooter game. Here, a player not only controls a character as in a conventional shooter, but also issues commands to other characters in his or her party that may be controlled by the computer or by other players.

Uh, oh. Horrible draw distance and pop-up confirmed :(



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Since seeing so many develope companies going under or developers losing their jobs, Me thinks Microsoft should go out and snatch the best developers and create a new 1st party team to............... you know create exclusive new games!!!
