Halo really needs to be delayed completely. While I don't do campaign co-op, I know how important it is to the series. It is something that so many have done since the first game. It's integral to the series. I'm sorry, but I cannot be excited for a game that's not finished at launch.
just love watching videos of flight sim like street view on google maps just you get access to more rural locations (like north korea or the middle of nowhere where there is no roads).
listening to this after the presentation is so cringe lol. Hoping for more Thursday.
combat was hard for me in mass effect 1 than my bro showed me it's much much easier if you just bait them into a choke point. anyway i suck at action games due to my disability not sure if this is what you meant but just wanted to share my experience mostly since I've not played a game that improved to that degree.
could see lack of exclusives as a plus... as there is a lack of memory as well so what's the use of having 5 exclusives when only 2 or 3 will fit lol
speaking of turning media on it's head im impressed how 343 handles the craig memes it's more criticism but they take it, postpone the game (and this looks like a big postpone which to me is a good thing that says they're really listening) and roll with it too making fun of themselves!
..
another awesome cast guys look forward to the after E3 talk 👍👍
Awesome podcast
