Re: Halo 2.5 announced
You know, this just pisses me off even more. Halo 2's single player sucked, and I just cancelled my Xbox Live account because I have more fun playing CS online then I do playing Halo 2.
Halo, the original game, was one hell of a package. Not only did the single player come full circle, but it was lengthy, hard, and fun to beat on multiple difficulty settings. Halo 2? I think not. Halo 2 felt shorter to me, the sinle player was not gratifying, and the cliff-hanger ending sucked. Oh, and Halo 2 recieved way to much credit in its reviews. I don't think it scored under a 9 anywhere, when it really should have gotten a 7 or 8, and that would have just been for its multiplayer content.
The fact that Halo 2 felt like it was cut short was bad enough. Speculation suggested Bungie intentionally did this, but after 3 years of f*cking delays fans deserve better then this. Talk about taking your fanbase for grant it. This is equally as bad as what Valve has been doing, if not worse.
So what better way to make up for a sh*tty single player experience and 3 years of f*cking delays then by telling the fans that the game was intentionally not the best it could be? What's that Bungie, Halo 2 sucked so you could make spin-offs of it to help whore out Microsoft? Again, speculation that Microsoft crapped all over Bungie is now also confirmed. There is no doubt in my mind that Microsoft was the main power behind all this. It's to bad too, because Bungie was one hell of a company, before they conformed to Microsoft.
Anyway, I'm super pissed, and no, I don't think I will be getting Xbox 2, or Halo 2.5. This is the biggest scheme ever, and after waiting for 3 whole years, WAITING MY ASS OFF, expecting Halo 2 to triumph over the original in every way possible, I have no sympathy towards Bungie or Microsoft. In my eyes, both can suck it.
