I have played this game only once and was not really impressed but it was the first version not the latest stuff out now. But i will still give this a miss.

My other comment Microsoft must be loving how this game has given them so much revenue.

To boost awareness of the upcoming Halo 4 (not that it needs any), Lewis says: "From the world's first ever red-carpet premieres for a video game to sending a man strapped to a jet-pack 50-foot above London's iconic skyline, Halo launches have continually broken the mould and we are back with a colossal bang for Halo 4, transforming a country on the biggest scale imaginable".
Talk about a waist of marketing $.

Ridiculous!

I tried playing Halo 1 when it arrived on PC 1 or 2 years after XBox and was bored out of my mind with wave after wave after wave of the same enemies attacking the same way only to learn that enduring that repetition was needed to advance.

F that!

Halo is for simpletons.

This is all very impressive for what is quite possibly the single-most overrated game franchise in history.

I play it for the storyline. It is one of the most immersive storylines ever created for a video game franchise. I'll enjoy the multiplayer for about 2 months before going back to Battlefield 3.

Modern warfare isn't it's own franchise, it's part of Call of Duty, which actually started out great and has since been beaten to death.
