It was love at first sight when I hopped in a Warthog and was taking out Covenant Elite soldiers with every drive-by opportunity on the Forerunner ring world of Halo: Combat Evolved. With Grunts to my left and Jackals to my right, Master Chief and I held hands running through the flowery fields of death, destruction, and florescent blood soaked walls -- spewing out of the Covenant's finest.
With each Halo sequel announcement, Bungie became my haven for all things geek, and I slept soundly knowing that Master Chief and Cortana will soon return to "Finish The Fight." That was then, and this is now.
When Halo Reach was first announced at Microsoft's E3 2009 press conference, I let out a loud sigh, and dipped into my seat waiting for the world to end. With Halo 3: ODST months away, and yet another Halo IP in the horizon, I was tired, frustrated, and wanted nothing more to do with faceless marines and large breasted computer A.I. I'm sure I was quiet the surprise for Creative Director on Halo Reach -- Marcus Lehto, when I confronted him about my "hate" towards all things Halo.

What is the meaning of this?!
Bungie makes more money on the Xbox 360 alone then some companies make with multiplat games on BOTH consoles combined. I don't think they particularly care about one person, especially one who constantly bashes anything Xbox 360.
On topic, I doubted Reach, too. Thankfully that ViDoc that just released breathed fresh air for anyone doubting Reach; it's going to be better then my experience when I first played Halo:CE. Thinking about them adding matchmaking to Firefight like they said they would, too, makes my pants wet. I can't wait to mess around with Theater and Forge (I used to upload crazy levels all the time) with this new engine.
<--- Half-Life > Halo. As proven by my avatar.
That's Bungie's selling point, reason, and motive for halo reach.
x1251 desires a man's mouth around his penis. CONFIRMED.
LOL. I've never seen so much rage and anger from someone pulling one sentence out of my post. Insecurity, perhaps? I never said you bash every 360 topic, therefore you sir are the one who indeed fails. Just anything X360, and you've bashed Halo aplenty before.
I've seen you desperately try to defend yourself from either being called a PS3 fanboy or from trolling 360 in at least THREE fucking posts. It's not my fault that your cock is constantly in the mouth/ass of sexualchocolate/Carlton Banks. No need to take that aggression out on me, roffle.
Keep 'em coming, man!
It should be illegal to use Hunters' pic as an avatar and then flip out like some 2 year old who got denied a bottle of milk. It just sort of disgraces the whole idea of what he was about.
raaageeeeeeeeee + sexual tension = deprived nerd raaaaaging, AFAIK. No need to throw that sexual void at people at the internet.
Although I do miss Durandal.
Rofl, when all else fails, use the "ur a virgin lolz" attack. Even though, y'know, I'm married and all, some raging nerdy fuck on an internet post proclaiming he needs to release sexual tension expects me to be insulted.
No, seriously, please keep going.
Here, I'll post your obvious reply for you:
"you fail hard."
Instead of asking question after question, he tells a story connected TO the question first and makes the interviewee WANT to answer the question, instead of feel like he/she HAS to answer the question.
Jeff, Ryan, Vinny and less so with brad, from Giantbomb, all do this well to varying degrees.
Keep it up Rey.
Watch the instapost -
Well, what do you expect? Kids love to bash Halo, regardless if it is out or not. My personal favorite is the "There are too many" excuse, because there definitely aren't zillions of Jak & Daxter or Ratchet & Clank games out there. Not bashing those franchise, just saying is all. Plus, this looks like the best Halo since the first, so I'm very excited for this.
I effing LOVED Myth, and I'd love to see Bungie return to the series.
Keep fuckin' that chicken buddy.
I am excited
He's got a point there. Hunter did throw fits and expressed his frustrations in very interesting and creative ways like his famous article "Hurr Hurr, my cock in your mouth". Truly, x1251 channels his tortured spirit.
All drama queen shenanigans aside, great interview Rey. I feel the same way about the franchise.
Bungie doesn't own the Halo IP, Microsoft does. So while bungie is developing the game, Microsoft decides where it goes, and I highly doubt they're going to lend their prize cash cow to boost Sony sales.
That said, despite pretending to be in control here, and obviously holding a self-view of superiority, you're coming off as an ignorant 3-year-old repeating all the flaming remarks they've seen elsewhere, even when they don't apply. As this is the first thread I've seen you in, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say the others' comments were out of line and unnecessary, but your responses have been just as bad, if not worse, than theirs.
On Topic: I'm extremely excited for Reach. So far, it looks to be a fantastic game and a welcome expansion to the Halo universe.
Nothing like two morons arguing over the internet trying to maintain their pride. Really, you did make me laugh, I may even consider hiring you two as my personal clowns.
