It did break international records on its first weekend.. so what's funny?

EDIT: I just got a disagree for stating a fact? Oh, right. People are actually in denial over this. Sad.

bobcostus4976d ago

Whether you like Halo or not, denying it's immense impact on the gaming industry is complete ignorance.

hennessey864976d ago

niether side will accept a games greatness, 360 fans troll killzone, ps3 fans troll halo. It will always be the same, i have both consoles and i think both games are amazing but i prefer halo which the sony fangirls wont accept

bobcostus4976d ago

I agree completely. It's sad how many great games these guys (of both camps) are going to miss. You should play the game, not the system. (metaphorically speaking)

boodybandit4976d ago (Edited 4976d ago )

Trolls, troll.
Fanboys are fanboys.
Haters will always hate.

For me it's this simple.
F reviews, sales and especially the haters (trolls or fanboys).
I play what "I" like and could care less about any of the above.

Perjoss4976d ago (Edited 4976d ago )

you cannot compare halo with killzone, one of them made a huge impact on gaming and is hugely successful with millions still playing it online, the other is just a pretty tech demo.

Yes it is.

But you have to try it to know it.

ndibu4976d ago

Highest selling exclusive, barring Wii beast of course, this generation.
Most hated game by PS3 Fanboys
Biggest and coolest online community.
Oh yeah, you're right, nothing legendary there.
Did I forget, broke the record for entertainment in its launch week? Has a playstation game done that this generation? Honest question

hennessey864976d ago

is an amazing game that is still played online to this day. I dont see whats funny or is it a fangirl joke

The game was/is so successful because it had a solid single player campaign, unrivalled multiplayer which is easy to pick up and play for the unexperienced and well balanced for the more professional gamers out there. There is no evidence of glitching bastards and every game is a challenge for every player.
IMO Halo 3 is one of, if not THEE best game ever where you get more bang for your buck (along with orange box)

hennessey864976d ago

and with halo reach looking to take it to another level i cant see an fps competing with it for a long time to come, ok you might see better looking games but halo is alot more than just eyecandy. I feel like im steeling halo reach paying only 45 pounds id pay a 100

bobcostus4976d ago

Yes, but the difference is that Bungie was/is good about fixing exploits as best they can. IW took forever to fix anything, and the game is still incredibly broken. (granted the studio is in shambles now, but still)

dark-hollow4976d ago

Yeah but when a beta like halo reach had less glitches than many full games you gotta admit that bungie is the best when it comes to polishing

HDgamer4975d ago

Lol I never said anything about IW slow pathetic ass. They made an incredibly broken game that they couldn't even fix.

dtalon34976d ago

your intelligence is evident in your pre-pubescent use of retarded internet slang...your point is invalid and/or moot.

HarryMonogenis4976d ago

Haha! Bubbles for confusing the Troll. XD

dark-hollow4976d ago

You can't judge halo by watching some random youtube videos
That's the problem with most people
You gotta spend some time online and specially with some of your friends online or split screen and believe me you gonna be addicted in no time

fastrez4976d ago

Put it this way, some people still feel it's 'cool' to hate Halo..

...which is just retarded really.

Bungie Replaces Marathon Director Amid Leadership Shakeup, Fears of Layoffs

Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.

Kaii36d ago

Layoffs should be hitting the incompetent management at this point.

Profchaos36d ago

Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.

I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream

Rynxie36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Are you serious? Do you just talk out of your arse naturally, or did it take years of being a POS?

Profchaos36d ago

You normally get so offended by internet comments or did it take years of being soft

purple10136d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Yes I see your point mate, someone clearly didn’t read the article.

Specifically the bit:

“Notably, multiple sources at the time and since have shared that Sony has largely left the studio to sort out its own troubles and was not responsible for the layoffs, with CEO Pete Parsons taking responsibility.“

He’s just spouting nonsense

Huey_My_D_Long36d ago

lol what so fucking hilarious is that you called him out so bad he projected him being offended onto you.

Its been well documented that Bungie's management has been more responsible for their shortfalls, even mentioned in said article that we are commenting on.

Its ok, just admit you didn't read the article.

MIDGETonSTILTS1736d ago

Arrowhead Studios will be Sony’s GaaS consult now.

Gameseeker_Frampt36d ago

I like how for some, it is never Bungie's fault. Microsoft, Activision, and now Sony - it is everyone else who is pushing Bungie to make all these bad decisions.

-Foxtrot35d ago

Thrown under the bus?

Are you joking? This is all Bungie, we all thought it was 100% Activision but it's clear the higher ups at Bungie don't have a clue how to run the studio and are more bothered about saving their own skin and the money that they rake in.

Sony gave them an extra $1.2 Billion to make sure that employees didn't leave and they didn't have to cut anyones jobs. Where did that money go because Bungie still cut peoples jobs and I bet you the higher management still kept a hold of their big fact paychecks and bonuses.

Sony invested poorly in this and the best thing they can do now is throw the old Bungie management out and take hold of the studio fully.

MIDGETonSTILTS1735d ago

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Somebody at Bungie is the golden goose making great shooting mechanics, and the rest need to justify their paychecks.

This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues

ChasterMies35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Worked very well for Microsoft. Microsoft’s mistake was letting Bungie go.

Fearmonkey35d ago

it worked so well with MS that they so wanted to be away from them they bought the company back. Only to do it again with activision-blizzard, and then sold to Sony...Sony shouldn't have bought them...Bungie hasnt been the same for a long time..

As someone who bought every story DLC for DESTINY 2 but not every season. the first thing I would do as game director is , if anybody pre-orders The ?Final Shape , they will be able to play all older DLC and seasons with purchase of FINAL SHAPE. . I think that would bring back a lot of DESTINY 2 plsyers who have not experienced the seasons a chance to play season activities before Final Shape comes out.

DickyD122683d ago

I agree but I was just able to get all dlcs for 50 on steam. (Have it on PlayStation but don't always have access to the TV)
