In Response To: Re: Bungie needs to cater to both sides. (Scarab) : That's too glib. You've got me there. I have a tendency of writing more than is neeeded. : 1) Hyperbole : I wasn't dissapointed in Halo2 because of the hyperbole. I don't think anyone was. That's not what I was saying. I was simply stating that the amount of hype surrounding it magnified any bad feeling that would come later. "The bigger they come the harder they fall", as they say. : 2) It changed. : If it had changed for the better then there would be no complaints. The

They could have. Then they would have a bunch of people happy as clams, and lost a much, much larger bunch. By which I mean nearly every casual gamer out there. : Maybe halo3 will satisfy most people if there is some common ground between
Then you are more optimistic than I. I see no way that these two groups can love the same game, when one wants Halo: CE v3.0 and the other Halo 3.

But no matter which way they go, someone's gonna feel like they've gotten the short end of the stick. | |
