Halo 3 Details Begin to Emerge
Eurogamer has a short rundown on some Halo 3 details which have emerged from the Swedish games mag LEVEL. There are a few details on weapons, levels, combat mechanics, and a super-special helmet edition for the game. From the article: "Finally, there's news on the contents of the Halo 3 'Legendary Edition', which will consist of four DVDs' worth of content and, amusingly, a replica Spartan helmet. So what's on those four discs? Well, the game, obviously, and then documentaries and developer commentaries, bonus material like Red vs. Blue episodes, and cut-scenes from Halo 1 to 3 in high-definition. There will also be some sort of Halo film trailer located in the package." 1up has announced they're going to have a bevy of features on the game tying in to the new issue of EGM, so more details should be available online soon.
If Bill Gates shoved Millions of dollars in cash under your nose, I'm talking tens of millions of dollars for you and your co-partners, wouldn't you too say "Buh-bye" to Slashdot ethics of cross platform this and open source that and say yes so you could start living the Good Life(TM)?
You know, the one where you have a house on each cost, frequent trips over seas, a massive yacht, girls who look so good that EVERYONE is in general agreement you wouldn't have them if you didn't have the money you now have, and most importantly, All The Computer Gear You Could Ever Want!?!?!?!?
Or would you, seriously, tell Gates "You know what, that $30 million you are offering me looks real tempting, but uhhhh you know I just know this wouldn't sit right with teh Slashdot and Open Source crowds so even though those two camps wouldn't give me so much as a pot to piss in I'm going to have to say no and stick to working two fast food jobs to make ends meet and support my computer/internet habits."??
Please people be honest in your responses here. No matter which way you choose, be true to yourself.

Halo has the most run of the mill standard every other game has done it gameplay. And yet people worship it. And then people who hold board meetings to decide the next big game go "Oh hey that sold well lets do another exactly the same!". And the AI isnt anything all that special either.
Yes. Im saying you need to learn to buy games responsibly so they stop making crappy ones like Halo. The last game with multiplayer I liked was C&C Renegade. To this day I have yet to find any kind of multiplayer FPS experience that satisfies me the way Renegade does. Every single is the same thing "kill everything you see" but with different maps. Way to go industry. People will blame a whole host of reasons on the decline of the PC gaming market but the simple answer is nobody tries anymore.
Games like Tron 2.0 and NOLF2 for single player experience dared to be different and provide unique experiences. C&C Renegade dared to be new, and innovative, meanwhile just because Unreal Tournament looks pretty people worship it like Halo when all it offers is the same old stale formula that Doom had. God I hate you all.
