I think that would be a negative.

Quote:

* Master Chief will not be part of this game
* It will be a stand-alone disk sold in stores and boxes next Fall
* It's also going to include some multiplayer maps, some of those maps will actually be part of the Mythic Map pack that will be released early next year on the Xbox Live Market place.
* It will be a First Person Shooter not a squad base shooter. There was mention of Stealth, NOT splitter cell
* As an ODST, compared to playing as in invulnerable Spartan, you are going to have to sort of pick and choose your encounters a little bit differently
* Everything you have grown to love on Halo 3 will be on H3R
* H3R is one of a few projects Bungie is working on
* Working on H3R is a "small agile team" made up of a "bunch of elders" who started the Halo: Combat Evolved franchise.
* 1000 Gamerscore dedicated to just the campaign for H3R with additional achievements for the multiplayer as well.
* Pricing more value oriented
* Still running the Halo 3 engine
* There won't be a huge leap into presentations
* More urban darker game a lot of night
* Built from the ground up on Halo3 tech
* Still will feel like a Halo game with game play differences, more fragile not a super soldier.
* Multiplayer will be Halo 3 but with new maps
* There are weapons, LOL
* This was the project suppose to be shown at E3
* Halo 3 and Halo 3 Recon multiplayer will play together
* Superintendent is somewhat a guiding hand not like Cortana though
* You won't bump into Johnson, all new people in H3R
* There still will be melee

Looks pretty good. Will be interesting to play without the abilities of the chief.
Retail only too, no download from the market place. I do find that kind of strange, As i thought that was the direction the industry was going. But i guess they want to catch all those without access to XBL.

That just pissed me off.....HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME GET UP FROM MY FUCKING COUCH.

Im going to the Bungie forums to bitch incoherently about being too fat to get my ass off the goddamn seat.

I prefer to believe that downloading instead of going to the store has numerous benefits:-

1. Not using the car helps to save the environment

2. My lack of presence means less people in the queue in the store so less frustration

3. I do not have to deal with the *highly courteous* employees at Game

4. I do not have to be concerned if the game is actually there i.e. in stock

I could go on and on but you get the idea.... there are always 3 sides to a coin Smile

Microsoft has a 3 time download limit, If you try to download the same download more then 3 times it will ask for you to repurchase it again.

Friend of mine told me it wasn't for purchase downloads like the legendary map pack for example. maybe i was told wrong ill have to see the next time buy something off of the marketplace.

Once you buy something like a map pack or game add on, its yours to keep. You can download it as many times as you want. Not with movies or tv shows though.
