Yeah. Halo is a popular franchise and all, but isn't it a bit too early to start the self-celebratory train?

I meant, too far for April Fools. They shouldn't raise our hopes like that.

You think this is too far?

This is NOTHING compared to the cruelty that is Sonic and Tails in Smash Bros Melee.

That game would be amazingly fun, especially if it had Halo-style multiplayer.

Someone needs to steal these ideas from their April issues.

Mushroom Kingdom Hearts was an obvious joke...but how AWESOME would it be if it came to fruition?! And Lego Halo? Yes please!

I got this magazine today for some reason. Didn't realize it was the April issue, because you know I wouldn't think they ship it out a month early.

I suppose I was right in wondering why the heck Bungie would make a Legal Halo game. Heh.

Magazines and comicbooks are always published with dates a few months ahead because of this outdated deal with newsstands. It is something that really doesn't make any sense at this point but they still do it.

Back in the day, newsstands wouldn't pull anything when the new issue came out. They would just leave stuff out until it was sold. Putting a few months in advance on the cover would lead people to believe that it wasn't as old as it actually was. It was basically a marketing gimmick that stuck around way after it was actually useful and now we have April Fools Day issues way before the actual date. I have no idea why they haven't changed this practice though.

It's just how stupid this whole thing has gotten. One it was a nice little joke to play ON THE DAY that would last until midday.

Now it's a huge thing that has taken up a full day and early scans start appearing a MONTH in advance.

It's stupid. Mostly the people who do it.

@ Mills and Boom
you must often find yourself at the ass end of jokes huh? no sense of humor or just a tightass jerkwad that doesn't like to see other people having any fun cause you forgot/never knew how? i suggest not stomping on the burning bag in front of your door this year, looking up when entering partically opened doors and don't reply with what when asked "guess what".

Why do people still fall for this? I mean, how is it even possible? Do people just truly want the games to be real and so are willing to overlook the basic tenets of common sense and reality to cling on to that hope? Is it that we as a society are conditioned to believe whatever we see and hear from otherwise authoritative news sources?

Or is it the fact that all these April Fools' articles are published at any time between February and May?

The joke may be on them. All it takes if for someone over at Bungie to say, "That would be a good idea." As well as the Lego Star Wars sold, Microsoft would back them if Bungie did it.

This one is much more feasible than other pranks they've pulled, except that i wouldn't think Microsoft would allow Halo to be "lego'd" this early after the legitimate trilogy has ended.

In five years or so, this could easily be a reality. A kickass reality

It's a good thing they separated from Microsoft so they can do something 'other than Halo' for a change *rolleyes*

As it turns out, if you -were- being sarcastic, which all evidence points to yes, then your post implies that you actually do think they are working on a new Halo game (ie: Lego Halo).

Also:

One could assume you merely were saying "Nice to see they're not working on a new Halo game." Which if taken sarcastically, "Nice to see they're not working on a new Halo game, NOT! Fucking losers lied and still are working on Halo games."

If you were doing what I think you meant to do which is to be so sarcastic as to be sarcastic twice over, making the whole post a jab at the (non-existent?) fantards jumping on the chance to mock Bungie.

I have spent far, far too much time analyzing your post. Kill me.

For those of you saying "this could happen...," no, it really couldn't, at least not at this time. All the other Lego games (Batman, Indiana Jones, and particularly Star Wars) were all preceded for months, if not years, by actual Lego models based on those properties. So until we see official Halo Legos, we're nowhere near the video game.
