Re: A Message from Marty O'Donnell

In Response To: A Message from Marty O'Donnell (Marty the Elder) This is so, so true! I had the exact experience myself. I was waiting for Tribes 2 to come out, checking out all the screens, all the movies and everything, and then we I bought the game, there was nothing new. My mind was so used to seeing Tribes 2 from all the movies and screenshot I saw each day (yes, each day), that it was not much of a "suprise" that it was better than tribes 2 (a bit). Now this is just an example. Some really like Tribes 2 and some don't but that is not the point. It Sucks! (Jokes) So anyhoo, ya I can understand which way your leading us to, Marty. Thanks for the info. =) : Ok folks; take this for what it's worth. : I just got back home from playing a little golf with my dad (Bob O'Donnell : a.k.a. surly dwarf, Dr. Kerr etc.) and checked old bungie.org to discover : that Gamespot (bless their hearts) has put up a bunch of new Halo movies. : Here's the deal. If you are someone who's not sure whether or not you want to : play Halo or buy an Xbox or whatever, then please go check out the movies : and see if it helps you decide. If however, you are already a fan of Halo : or Bungie and are planning on purchasing and enjoying Halo to it's fullest : extent, then please ignore Gamespot and all the posts dealing with these : movies. : These movies are all quite simply "spoilers". Even if they don't : give away some important plot point, they will spoil your pristine : enjoyment of this game. Halo should be experienced from the beginning, on : your home system, with your own surround sound speakers, or stereo : headphones or whatever, not as short Mpeg or streaming movies off the : internet. : When I was quite young (shut up Claude) I remember seeing 2001 A Space : Odyssey at the Michael Todd Theater in Chicago. I had virtually no clue : what I was about to experience and seeing that movie in Cinemascope and : stereophonic sound blew me away. I can't imagine what the experience would : have been like if I had already seen the "cool" scenes on my : home computer screen with Mpeg compressed audio. It most certainly would : have lessened the experience. : Anyway, that's the extent of my preaching for now. I hope you all buy Halo : and enjoy playing it November 15. Be patient - it's almost there. : p.s. - as a point of clarification, I am in no way comparing Joe Staten to : Stanley Kubrick.
