Blah Blah, Halo is so yesterday, nothing new here, move along
(I am hiding my anticipation behind a facade of indifference, can you tell?)
Typo:
"Halo 4 is a long way off a release dae, but if you can't wait till then for a bit of Master Chief action, check out Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, an updated version of the original Halo game, is due for release in November 2011."
I'm maybe missing something, but I thought the whole purpose of the Halo “campaign” modes were purely to train players to get onto the online modes. In which case, there's no need for a novel-like “back story” and they can do it a lot simpler, e.g.
"Hi you're a soldier, here's an artificial intelligence that accompanies you sometimes, there's also a couple of other soldiers who aren't as tough as you. Here comes the enemies, they're called the Covenant. Right, now trying some shooting … don't forget to reload. Now do some driving from here to there. Now shoot something else (with different weapons). Congratulations - campaign finished, now go online".
From what I understand, there's plenty of other game titles out there more worthy of the attention - Deus Ex, Bioshock, etc, etc, etc. Certainly I've not spent any cash on Halo title's since ‘3 and that didn’t even get finished.
