New Halo ODST trailer

It is pretty fucking stupid to have to pay for XBox Live, tbh.

As for ODST, I hated all 3 Halo games, and I’ve played all 3. Including multiplayer. They never kept my attention. They’re not horrible games, by any means. But as Yahtzee says, everything Halo has done has been done, and been done better.

Here come the flamers.

Abandon ship! I repeat: Everyone, ABANDON SHIP!

Oh, and look at what I found:

The last part is epic!

I’m not going to lie: It is. But what can you do? Be like Dias and say “o im soooo goin to pwn microsoft by not bying 4 der xbox live lol datll sow em im such a rebel!!!” Yeah, and you’ll miss out on 90% of the reason to own a 360.
Besides, it’s $50 a year. A WoW subscription is $15 a month! That’s $180 a year!
Paying for online services is a kick in the balls, but at least in this case it’s a gentle kick in the balls.
And let’s be honest: if you work, you can afford $50 a year.

Except that you’re wrong.

#25

Oh, of course, I forgot; you’re the world’s deciding force. If you like Halo, then everyone who thinks that it’s mediocre is provably wrong. My mistake.

#26

Apology accepted. Now go back to your slums, peasant!

#27

I should revise what I said this morning. I don’t hate the games. I just think that there are better games that have been released. I’d rather play Halo than say…Haze. Or The Witcher.

Also, people say that you play Halo for the multiplayer, while I, and a lot of other people, don’t give a flying fuck about multiplayer. I hate people, to be perfectly honest.

#28

Now that’s more like it.
I agree, there are better games out there, but I like Halo for it’s “15 seconds of fun” and “dumb luck” feeling. It’s best played with friends and drinks.
However, considering that you don’t “give a flying fuck about multiplayer,” this concept doesn’t apeal to you.

#29

So it can only be enjoyed while drunk?

#30

I don’t drink, either. So I’m kind of fucked in that area, too.

#31

Since when does drinking automatically associate with just beer? There are other forms of drinkable liquid than just beer you know.

#32

Exactly.

No, Halo can be a fun game with friends, but for me I really don’t like to play alone with some kids yelling at me over xbox live.

#33

This is a common stereotype with the Halo community. One that Bungie has easily resolved. Just highlight the player’s name in the Pre-Game Lobby (or hold SELECT in-game), press A, and mute em.’ Enjoy your peaceful multiplayer experience.
And has anyone here seen Red vs Blue?

#34

Wait, you can only mute in the pre-game lobby? And drink is associated with alcohol, in English at least. That is just how we roll.

Of coarse, and I’m not trying to be stereotypical. I enjoy the yelling with friends just to make the kid rage quit or just stop talking. :smiley:
I guess sometimes I forget to mute. Oh well.
Also, I do enjoy RvB. It does have a very good comical writing and the RL shorts they do also make me laugh.

#37

I accuse you of editing, be it true or not.

#38

There’s actually four halo game sif you count Halo Wars.

I think Bungie should have put Riddley Scott in the credits of all of he Halo games, seeing how the majority of shit is ripped directly from Aliens. (I.E; Sgt Johnson, The pelican, The Pilot, Eyepatch helmets, etc.)

#39

Ridley Scott and Neil Blomkamp should have teamed up for the Halo movie, forget Peter Jackson. It needs to be ballsy like Black Hawk Down, not overly-melodramatic like Lord of the Rings.

#40

There’d be nothing wrong with it being melodramatic. Especially if it was about the war between the Covenant and the Humans.
