my friend who is president at bungie studios says that there will be a love scene with MC and cortana right after you fight the last battle

[cyberg4]

My cousin's brother's aunt's husband's father's grandson heard that the game will focus mainly on the flood,  It will reveal that the flood are actually DOA babes who, when shot whith a new prototype weapon, change back to their former selves, sans clothing.  Also the game will be rated AO, and will only be available for sale at adult video stores.  The collectors edition comes vith a bonus video of the intense motion capture process taken by the bungie employees studying, and analysing subjects, to enhance the lifelike modelling and animations of the disinfected flood.

Man, I hate the flood!  

[Reaper527]

thats nothing compare to what i heard, i heard that the first 500 people to buy the collectors edition will get to play a slayer deathmatch against a real live spartan on an all expenses paid 5 day vacation on the pillar of autumn  

[mgamer20o0]

yes real life deathmatchs.

regardless of the fact that it wont be out the same day as the ps3 launch, it wouldnt make any kind of difference anyways.  think about it, anyone who is going to buy a ps3 at launch will buy one regardless.  even IF halo 3 launches on ps3 launch day then those who like halo will buy halo3 and a ps3.  same thing happened with the DC launch and FFVIII.  it didnt make any kind of impact on the sales of the DC and anyone who wanted either or both got it regardless.  IMO the only kind of difference a game like halo 3 will make is when the demand for the ps3 dies down and its available in stores (meaning those hardcore players will already have their ps3 or 360).  those who must decide between the ps3 and 360 after all the demand is over with, will then look at the games and only then will high profile games like GoW or halo3 make a decision easier to make.

that's not what it's about. Try to remember around 2 months ago when xbox 360 launched. It was covered everywhere. it was in the news and everywhere. Think back about a 14 months ago when Halo2 launched. It was covered in the news and everywhere. Since 360 got all that coverage it has sold out everywhere. If the 360 shared it's launch with another blockbuster ANYTHING it's publicity would be stolen a little. Let's say Grand theft auto: fuck and suck edition came out that same day... it would have stolen the 360's thunder.

The halo series is not only one of the most popular series of games of this generation but of all time. People anxiously await each release and religiously play them. If you really think the ps3 would be unaffected by Halo3 simultaneously coming out you're sadly mistaken.

A surprise release would be dumb. If everyone has been waiting for a PS3 for a long time and is really excited then why will they then change their mind in the store and buy a console for a game which they happen to see on the shelf and have heard nothing about? A surprise release would require no build up of hype, no advertisiong, no excitement and no pre-orders, which then results in no exposure and low sales for M$. I bet Sony would be quaking in their boots when they realise M$ has released their killer app without so much as a press release. Well done. The only people that would know would be us and other hard core gamers. That's hardly the main stream, who, as it happens, will be the majority buying a PS3 and it will be in the belief that it is 10 times more powerful because their friend 'Steve' at work told them and they also read it in Sonys own propaganda that is the Official Playstation Magazine.

Actually, what would be better is if M$ could release it a little while before the PS3 so that people who aren't familier with the series will see it and decide to get a 360 for it. I know a lot of Xbox converts who didn't gate Halo2 till way after release cos' they saw how good it was online. After all, anyone who is already familier with Halo will be buying it anyway and more than likely already own a 360.

Of course in the real world M$ won't release Halo for a loooong time.

first of all the 360 would have sold out regardless of the coverage on the news.  that is the main reason that the news kept an eye on the 360 because of the existing demand.  true their coverage probably gave the 360 more hype but still it would have sold out regardless.  

also as for GTA launching around the same time as the 360 stealing its thunder, again your wrong.  if you remember right GTA: SA launched around the same time as halo2, did it steal any of halo 2's thunder? no, because the gamers who were going to buy halo 2 got halo2, those who wanted GTA got GTA, and those who wanted both got both.  

yes i know that halo is one of the most popular franchises in gaming right now, but there are also people who wait anxiously for each release of GTA and play that religiously.  the same could have been said in the 32-bit generation in regards to the Final fantasy series.  many held FFVII as the best game out at the time, not just best RPG but best game ever, the game got rave and even perfect reviews (i remember gamefan reviews were 100++) everywhere.  now a game with that much fanfare and loyal gamers did not effect the DC launch, so why would a halo game do any different.  

you missed my point entirely that people who buy games at or around launch are 95% hardcore gamers and those kind of gamers will buy whatever they want when its available.  almost everyone who will be getting a ps3 at or around launch will either be a sony fanboy or a serious gamer who owns all the systems and buys all the best games for each system.  either way a halo release would not effect those who were going to get a ps3 anyways, all it would do is force those serious gamers to spend a little bit more on that day.  

i love the halo franchise and would love for your comment to be true but the sad fact is that it would not make a difference.  like i said, when all of the hardcore gamers got their system and the company can keep up with demand to actually allow systems to sit on the shelf, only then will games on your system make the biggest difference.  it will be when someone walks into a store looking for a new system to get that they will look what games are available.  if they see that the 360 has around 200 tiitles (yes including well known franchise like halo3) and the ps3 has around 50-75, then it would make the average consumer's desicion easier to make.
