So I had played Halo 1 awhile and was totally disappointed by the crippleware Microsoft turned a once-promising Bungie product into. Based on my disappointment, I skipped Halo 2. Now, however, that I learned about the Halo 3 Beta being over, I kind of want to try it. Unfortunately, it looks like that will be an XBox-360-Only release. Well, I’m an avid anti-console kind of guy, so I won’t be going out and buying a $450 console just for a $40 game that’s worth ten bucks and comes with a bad track record. Sorry, Microsoft, you just don’t learn.
Once upon a time, the original Bungie developers intended Halo to be a seamless inside-out ring world that could be explored seamlessly. Beautiful idea; didn’t go through.
