Lol, I think Microsoft should just change the name of the 360 to Xbox Halo. Because it sounds like the first to me.

All the hate is from the failure to self fellate.

If an ending is Fate, Joystiq is in a poor state. Halo fans still need a fly place we can congregate.

Podcasts? Does that mean a good indie show like Podtacular or something MS produced?

They do, but what's wrong with supporting the community? Podtacular has been around for a long time.

If this is going to be on xbl, and they're offering a podcast, I wonder if this means we'll finally be getting some iphone support.

I can see the future now of what the franchise shall be:

-Casual games as Halo Party, Halo Soccer, Halo Tennis, Halo Teabaggers
-Other games in different genres like Paper Halo
-Club Halo
-Master Chief appearing every where in the console

And thats one year from now.

Even though I wrote that as a joke, as I think of it, I wouldn't mind a Paper Halo, only to see how it will look. :)

At least their first real foray out of Halo's established genre was developing an RTS game. They are way ahead of the spin-off curve which has usually lead everyone's franchises to go the edutainment route.

I think they are on the right track. At least they realize that most people who like Halo love the story. I can't see them abandoning the heavy-narrative for a simpler gameplay approach.

I hope so, cause its a good game. I don't like it too much, but I at least want to stick to its root, that what made it good.

It wasn't the reply button that failed. The interwebs obviously calculated the worth of your comment and must have deduced that it was made of fail so it correctly placed it according to it's level of failage. Don't blame the internet for doing its job correctly, kapeesh.

More than W@W and CoD4 combined (on 360 - Not including Co-Op, Custum Games, and Forge in H3 or Nazi Zombies W@W).

Come midnight, there are still 250,000 consoles matchmaking in Halo 3. It's rare to see over 50-80,000 on either CoD game. Community is split right down the middle there.

According to Bungie.net, there are 127,075 people playing Halo 3 right now.

To answer your question, yes people still play Halo, a helluva lot more than any other game this generation and the previous.

I dislike everything about Halo... except for Game Fuel. That stuff was tasty.

Then again, what the hell do I do? I also liked Pepsi Blue.

Whoop-de-FRICK'n-dooooooo . . . .

Halo is totally overrated. It's true. The first game was the best one.... all down hill after that.

No, stop denying it.

It'll be ok.

Everything will be just fine.

See? You're doing it again.

The first step to recovery is admitting that there is a problem.

I know you can make that step. We'll do it together.

"Man, I wish there was somewhere where I could get all the latest information on Halo, the best franchise ever."

well, thats going a bit to far.

Halo 1 = BEST FPS EVER!!!

Halo 2 = big let down to me personally, but ok

Halo 3 = better than the second but not as good as the first, but the multi-player one of the best.

Now when you compare this to the Metal Gear Solid series, nearly all of the games released (MGS 2 was a bit boring) were amazingly fun, action pack and pure artistic genius, with MGS 4 being the best of the series and probably the best game ever made.

i know its a matter of opinion, but halo wasn't all that good when compared to other franchises.

And now that i have finished writting this, i'm wondering why im writing this in the first place :-)
