Alright . . . I've tired to keep good humor about this, but this time I'm going to sorta rip on Bungie. I'm SICK of jumping through hoops in order to get my Bungie fix. I've always respected Bungie as a company that listens to (and even respected) their fans, but the truth is that Bungie has released VERY LITTLE directly to this faithful community, especially in the last six months. Instead, we have to go through all these mags. I understand the relationship between software companies and mags (if the software makes the mag look good, in the form of previews, exclusives, etc., then the mags make the software look good). It makes me so frustrated that Bungie has a video that they could release, but would rather make us wait two months (it's the middle of summer!!!) to give it to us.
If it's hype that Bungie's trying to get, we fans are as good of source as any. Personally, I've already convince ten+ people to buy Halo. If anyone deserves exclusives and previews more, it's these b.org guys. They are more faithful than any mag and most fans. They do the real work.
Instead of releasing 95% of Halo to mags and gaming website, I think it should be more 50/50. Believe me, we the true Halo fans, would still jump the hoops for Halo.
Whaddya think?
