Halo Waypoint detailed, captured on video

You know, Master Chief is a dude, I think, not a cow.



So....I wouldn't go drinking the milk of him....

Actually, Archi, you can milk anything with nipples.

I know but it wouldn't make my comment any more disturbing....only creepy.

There are a few games more milked than Halo you know? I am going to assume because everyone else says Halo is milked you are going to say the same.

Dont get me wrong. I liked Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST. Didnt try, or want to try Halo Wars, but whatever.

But all these Halo games/content/etc/whatever, just feels like too much too fast. The period of time between Halo 3 and ODST, Im fine with that. With the Reach Beta in 2010 sometime, cool. But now an Anime, another stat tracking website, the massive amount of toys that are out there... Its just too much too soon in my opinion.

Also, shhhh... Im reading the Borderlands review over at IGN.

it better be the stool you sit on and not the one you create. ya creepy bastid.

I still fail to see how the Halo franchise is being milked.

Action figures are awesome, I wish every game series had their own lines. Well, maybe not every, but you get my drift.

4 halo games since 2001. 5 if you count halo wars. I just don't call that being milked.

Lots would drink the Master Chief's milk - regardless of where it is milked from.

i have nipples, can you milk me?

"4 halo games since 2001. 5 if you count halo wars. I just don't call that being milked."

there has been more stuff then just games

How is free content milking?
Jesus Christ, people.

Okay.. so Square is NOT milking Final Fantasy, Kojima is NOT milking Metal Gear Sold, Nintendo is definately not milking Mario, Rockstar is NOT milking GTA.. Should I continue?

Yeah wtf??! Another halo game? Halo 1, halo 2, halo 3, halo wars, halo recon, halo odst, halo reach and now this??

This is not a game, and Halo Recon does not exist.

go back to autoblog already

^

LOL

Not gonna lie, that is a brilliant idea.

They're milking it. Microsoft sees Halo players as an infinitely exploitable resource.

How is it being milked? I'm beginning to think a lot of you just like to hate Halo because it's the "cool" thing to do. Never ONCE have any of you given a clear, logical and/or coherent argument as to how the Halo franchise is being milked.

I wish more games that I liked had more support like this. Fleshing out a series of popular games with new and unique features and expanding the story are not "milking" the series

I dont see whats wrong with milking, if you dont like it, dont buy it. Stop making other peoples free time your problem.

If people are dumb enough to keep buying milked stuff then why not make money out of them.

You need to realise that while there is a market we will always see Cooking Chief: Party Party Edition

[BTW i'm not calling this milked, i think its a cool idea designed for the discerning Halo fan]

@why not the LS2LS7?

No, they see Halo as their first truly successful franchise, and they want to see if they can also make it more cohesive and consistently interesting than the other mega franchises out there who have been "milking it" for years (or decades in the case of mario).

Microsoft likes going all multimedia with stuff, and bungie gave them a solid universe to try it with. If it works out, great, if it doesn't, oh well. They were still good games (and a couple of surprisingly solid books too), and I enjoyed what I got out of them. Halo 3 was massive bang-for-the-buck considering how much time I spent playing it.

Also, as has been said, waypoint is effectively free, really just a convenient alternative to bungie.net. Most of the map packs, unlike those in Gears, went free after a few months, so if you aren't playing hardcore, you can just hang out for a while. The long and impressive radio drama that came out of the ilovebees promotion was left out there free for anyone interested in a taste of the universe outside the games.

If anything, aside from the media promotion overkill at times, I think the Halo franchise has been damn kind to us compared to the competition (so far). I say let them try, I'd like to see more games, in more genres create a solid evolving community and universe like this.

i'm cool with being exploited if it means more Halo. on the other hand, that's not really exploitation, is it? people are buying these games willingly.

Practical is an illusion.

True.

JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR

Sorry 'bout the bad, quality. I don't have the best scanner.

There's also some really cool other things in This month's issue like Skate 3.

WTF are you plugging Epic Mickey for?

Oh well, I guess it's a good opportunity to plug this game too:

SMASHN' PUN'KINS on the iPhone and iPod Touch in the App Store! Halloween/Achievements/Facebook Integration!

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=332241472&mt=8

Support indie gamers!

Yeah. That felt good.

;)

Wasn't "plugging" it, I just thought you guys' would like to see it, and I wasn't about to wait for an Epic Mickey post. Last time I do something nice, lol.

Love the art style for it. Thanks.

Haha, its all good Traceur, thanks. :)

Anything that doesnt look like NXE is ok with me.

I kind of like this since my xbox generally is mostly just for Halo now.

random thought. MS should release a HD with all the Halo games already loaded into it :D
