Time to turn off the Internet

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).

/ end rant /

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.

Cause Halo sucks?

"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.

I like Halo too. I mean, I can see most peoples problem with it, and ya it's valid, but I still like it. And to me Halo is not a fucking sport but another form of FPS multiplayer.

Another form of FPS? it is a generic, overhyped FPS.

Blindside, can I just ask, did you play Halo on PC or Xbox or both?

Xbox, I am not a PC gamer...last PC game I really played was Rainbox Six and then Alien vs. Predator 2 (yeah, in that order, used game).

Hmm, well then, at least it's kinda valid, i suppose... cos the PC version, as I'm sure you're well aware, sucked, and I can understand that. I've got my problems with the game but I want to know why you dislike it so.

Master Chief wins the war, Cortana is saved, the evil overlord flood guy gets killed, the Covenant council gets overthrown and peace is restored, some hint at a future title, the end!

Halo was fun here and there but the single player was atrocious and the multiplayer was the only decent part about it. But it is nothing that hasn't been played before...but I digress, for now!

MUWAHAHAHAHA

SPOILER ALERT


Master chief is master chef, the big daddy. Instead of a drill, he has a spatula arm.

Cortana turns into a little sister.

I think alot of people are just annoyed with the fact that there are so many people that praise it and claim that it's one of the best games in existence. These are also the people that don't understand what an opinion is. I mean sure, some may love it, some may say it's overrated. But either way people need to understand what an opinion is and what it stands for.

I like Halo however I am drawn more to games that allow for bots to be in the mix. Call me old school but one of my favorite things to do on Perfect Dark on the 64 was load up the game with some bots and play for hours on end.

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.

"I’m always happy to be enveloped in a great plot, and therefore a great ending."

So you must have loved Halo 2's ending.

Cardoweth...same thing. Pick my weapons, get a bunch of bots and make sure I have a bunch of slow-mos! I crashed the game SOOOO many times doing that, but I just booted it back up.

Halo has really great multiplayer.







But I'm talking about REAL multiplayer. With 12+ people, 3+ tv/xbox's and ALOT of beer.

I thought Halo and Halo 2 were really well-done actually. I agree that a lot of people probably hate the idea of Halo more than the game itself.

@AgentMOO: Snape kills Dumbledore. Then kill master chief.

@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.

I completely agree with your love for immersion. I thirst for it, like Jack Thompson thirsts for love.

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.

Spoiler Alert!

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...
