Video Games Halo 3 ODST ad

Can't seem to get all that excited about this one.

**TinyEvel** · 09-04-2009, 11:13 PM

well, if i were a 15 year-old boy who has never tasted the sweet tang of hot poontang, I would be all over this game like it was Megan Fox on a waterbed mattress slathered in corn syrup.

One thing M$FT has been good at is making multi-million dollar ads for their key games. I mean, when you have an OS package that basically has a monopoly on the PC world, you can burn dollars by the bushels to support your gaming division.

Nice ad. Well produced. Not sure if the game will live up to it. But as long as 360 gets my $$ up top, does it matter?

Oh, and the "XBOX ELite now $100 off" is a MAJOR buzzkill at the end. I call that "visitor from another commercial"

Not a Halo fan, but that's a hell of a commercial.

The Regular Halo 3 didnt live up to it, but it sure made a ****ing killing. I suck at FPS games, so not going to buy into the hype of this game. **** that.

Only games i am getting this year is NHL2K10/NBA2K10 (cause i get them free) Though, i would get NBA2K10 if i didnt. Borderlands possibly, its another 2K game. lol Assasins Creed 2. I think thats about it for me for the year.

Yeah. Halo Combat Evolved got me into console FPS. I loved it.
Halo 2 was a great followup until the end. God that pissed me off.
Halo 3 was a letdown though. I hope this title is better.

how was Halo 3 a letdown?

I assume you mean the "game" itself? The campaign?

Because the matchmaking and online play/ranking system is SO MUCH BETTER than COD...SO MUCH BETTER...

I played COD the other day...it's fun...it really is...but it...A) doesn't take nearly the amount of skill as Halo and B) isn't nearly as polished online...the ranking system is SEVERELY flawed...it's like social slayer at all time...you are matched up against the best and worst at all times...it's no fun to try and rank up in that game because the rankings mean nothing...at least in Halo you can strive to be a 50 in every game (doubles/snipes/mlg/team/big team/etc...)

Dude, apples to oranges, COD requires no skill to rank up, lol.
As far as HALO is concerned, they just need to make the ****ing movie already.

Sweet ad.

Campaign. Too short. Not the epic ending I was wanting.

Remember, I could care less about online.

If Halo 3 never came out I would still be playing Halo 2. Halo 3 was fun but it just wasn't as good as what Halo 2 was. I mean H3 is obviously better, but you know... hard to explain.

I didn't know that, but I only have like 30 friends or so and they are all people I know in person.
