I know that there isn’t a lot of love for Halo here on Destructoid but I have to admit that I am a fan. I was there at midnight, lined up in the cold darkness, for Halo 2 and I’d be doing the same thing this year if I hadn’t landed myself a sweet gig for MS where I get first party games for free (yay!).
So we’re 14 days away and I’m thinking it’s getting close to the time where I shut down the ol’ RSS reader and jump off the grid. I know that there is some asshole out there who is going to spoil the end of the story for me just like they did for Harry Potter, Bioshock and countless other stories that I was anticipating. You see, I am very much a gamer who enjoys wrapping the fictional world around myself. I’m always happy to be enveloped in a great plot, and therefore a great ending. I don’t think I really need to say more, do I? I mean, there are people on the interweb dedicated to ruining my experience!
You know who you are, and if you’re reading this… you’re an asshole. I hate you as much as I hate the term eSports (and if you’ve read my other blog you know that’s A LOT).

In other news I started playing the Call of Duty 4 beta yesterday. Holy crap is it ever well done. I played for just over three hours and managed to level myself to 12 which I’m assuming isn’t too bad. I was never a big fan of the other COD games, as WWII never really appealed to me but this new modern warfare is fantastic. The aforementioned Halo 3 has a lot to live up to.

"turn of the internet" huh? NICE!
Master Chief...it was a typo all along, he is actually Master Chef! He complains to everyone about the typo in his name in the game and gets really pissy. Then he takes the plasma sword, finds a dark corner and becomes emo. His suit will turn all black with black and red eyeliner on the visor.
Tits.
MUWAHAHAHAHA
Master chief is master chef, the big daddy. Instead of a drill, he has a spatula arm.
Cortana turns into a little sister.
Halo's multiplayer requires alot of people for it to be exciting, and the sad truth is that many of the people you are teamed up with spit curse words out of their mouths every five seconds, or find it hilarious to team kill and act like asses :P.
So you must have loved Halo 2's ending.
But I'm talking about REAL multiplayer. With 12+ people, 3+ tv/xbox's and ALOT of beer.
@OP: off has two 'efs'. Just being helpful :)
I actually hope COD4 beats the pants off Halo this year. I know it won't happen, but it would be nice. I think Halo will be good, I just don't know until I get my hands on it; but honestly I'm frothing at the mouth like teh rabid wombat with 40 enchantments on it (hooray for +40/+40) for COD4. Their hype machine has done WAY more to get me tingly in teh pants region than Bungie has this year.
All I know is that AAA games coming out this year means gamers=win and poor!
That is all.
Also, if you don't want spoilers, you don't have to turn off the interent. Just stay away from 4chan, somethingawful, and YTMND, and don't watch any illegally downloaded movies. You will be totally fine.
Master Chief takes off his helmet and reveals he's a girl named Justin Bailey. Then you can play through all three Halo games as Ms. Bailey in a bikini.
End Spoiler Alert
I hate it when that happens...
