That'll teach 'em for trying to milk money out of a (by the time it's released) two year old game that should have been released on Mac and PC a year ago.

To repeat from gaming section:

F Bungie. F them up the a$$. F them hard, f them deep. Yeah, go ahead, license out development for HALO. Too little, too late. All karma is shot to hell. You're still a pack of sellouts.

I agree. The game is already old, and it still isn't out. And it isn't that great a game anyway. Spend your money on a game for your GameCube...

I was about to mention Rogue Leader (since we're speaking of good gamecube games), but then I remembered Pikmin. It's absolutely barmy, but SO much fun

Doesn't anyone think they will update the game with newer graphics, etc? When they released GTA3 on the PC, they tweaked the game's graphics.

And, while I don't think the game is fun, there are still a ton of people that play CS/Half-Life and it is on the quake2 engine, thus proving its not the graphics that make a game, but the playability.

The chance of me buying this game is steadily resting at exactly zero. Yeah, I'm upset that Bungie is effectively gone, but can you really blame them? I don't know what their financial situation looked like, but I would have probably taken the deal too.

Too little, too late.

RIP Bungie

I was stoked to buy Halo originally, but I'm over it now

Boycott Microsoft and Bungie.

First of all it's for the Xbox... Then the gamecube sucks unless you're under 18... hehe... then I liked Halo, we play against each other with my friends.. Too cool.. Or have U tried commando style with two Xboxes and two TV screens in different rooms, 4 players in all.. That's just awesome !!!

2 years too late. That's it. UT2003 and Doom3 will be out first and Halo compared to these two will look like complete crap and not worth my $$$.

Uhhh.

Why would the game be stupid just cuz its old?

<img border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" title="" src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" />

There are tons of games older than halo that I find to be awsome games with GREAT GAME PLAY. I have no doubt Halo will still be fun to play! Who says Doom 3 and Unreal 2 and UT 2003 will have better game play? You can't just assume that... Shure they will have more polygons but don't be a moron about this.
