I actually had a chance to try out this game yesterday, my roomate brought it over from his place and we sat down and played for about 2 hours, and I have to say guys.... Its just like Halo1,2 or 3. So far, I have not seen anything but a few new weapons and enemies, which got me thinking.... why is this game so popular? Most of my friends are going crazy about it and I do not see any original ideas going into this project. This brings us over to the task that is forcibly imposed on me: tying this in to marketing. Okay, so why would Bungie, a respectable video game company put so little effort into this game? In my personal opinion, Bungie was simply trying to squeeze out a few more buck for their successful Halo franchise, building on a already depleted storyline with minimal effort in making it feel fresh because the brand is already popular. It then follows that in the public eye, the game promises as much freshness as the first three, but the game does not deliver, in my opinion at least. Any other games out there you guys feel fit the description of the "cash cow" franchise? Post it here!
