Never had the good fortune to play Halo, but from what friends have told me and what I've seen I missed out big time. My biggest fear when I first saw advertising for this game and the name Activision was that it would turn into what it has. But I was reassured by people saying but it's Bungie, it'll be good, the beta was fun and fair play the hype at E3 last year was very well done, it's just a shame the game doesn't live up to the hype. Who do I blame both Bungie and Activision they are as bad as each other in my eyes.
