Old Schoolers Unite!

Okay, I used to be really into "Halo: Combat Evolved" in 2001! Played that game forever with my friends and it always held a little nostalgia in my heart when it comes to Bungie. Then "Halo 2" came out... Multiplier was flawless. Seriously, that game is still unmatched in my opinion. Damage Ratios were so balanced and it seemed like you were able to relax and still be on the edge of you seat the entire game! Since then, I really didn't get into Bungie games like I used to. I mean, they were good. But, I think my everyday life changed and maybe the gaming styles in the industry changed. Anyway, I've been a very causal gamer since about 2004. I'll play and talk about Video Games with my younger Cousins and Brother every now and again. But, I can tell their experiences are totally abstract to mine. It's kinda funny how I'm looked at as a "Old Schooler" compared to them. While playing Halo 4 with them and talking more about games, they brought up "Destiny" in the conversation! Showed me some videos, told me more about the vision for the game... I felt that nostalgia again! That good old Bungie nostalgia! I'm just as excited for the release/beta of this game as they are! Hopefully other people experience the same feeling I'm having. Because, I really do hope that Gamers of all generations will be able to close the gap in gaming styles. I'd like to hear the rest of the community. What do you guys think? Also, What do you think a "Old Schooler" technically is? It seems video games change so fast that it makes new generations happen every other year!

    Felt the same way man. Halo was the first game I bought for the Xbox back in '01. Been a huge fan ever since. But when 343i picked up Halo and made Halo 4, I felt like all the magic had left. I loved Halo but when Halo 4 came out, they changed so much that I couldn't play it anymore. Then Destiny was announced and seeing how Bungie was no longer chained to Microsoft, I jumped shipped and went to the PS4 when I heard about all the goodies. I played the alpha and immediately was captured by that old Halo magic again. I could see it in the graphic style, the movement of the A.I., the weapon animations, etc. I loved it. Really looking forward to another 10 years of awesome.
