...only without using the headset to sell. Honestly, the only new 'gimmick' that sets it apart from other squad-based tactical shooters is, well, Marines, I guess. Nobody's done them yet, at least, not ground marines. Sure, Space Marines, been there, done that, gatted that Tyranid/Zerg/Alien/etc, but marine Marines, shooting terrorists?
Well, at least this means that many of those who were intimidated by the Xbox + Halo's $230 US price tag are going to be slightly more willing to consider purchasing the most powerful game system on the open market... and the only good game on it.
In other news, all 10 Xbox users who didn't buy Halo are having a ball. Thx Gamerdad.

Pathways, Marathon, Maelstrom and Escape Velocity. Oh childhood, where art thou?
Oh yeah, playing Halo on a Microsoft Xbox and Freelancer on Windows XP.
Really a pity how shallow the Mac's gaming shelf has become. I mean, Panther wipes the floor with XP for just about everything except games.

Unfortunately, the game series is much less popular in the US than it is in Japan - the same goes for many, many of SNK's games.
