Halo 1 was a great game, only 8 weapons, great level design, a not too horrible story, and good multi player. Ever since then it's gotten progressively worse and has become complex, predictable, and BORING. Also, Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to add in so much extra 3rd Person shit? I must say though, the worst thing about reach is the fact that it was made with the Havok engine. So what Bungie, after 8 games (Marathon counts) you finally got too poor to make it yourselves? decided to use the same fucking engine that was used to make Wolfenstien?

...That's like saying office work isn't repetitive because every group of words you write/type is completely different from the last.
Halo may be about multi player now, but I remember Halo 1 where you could have just as much fun in SP or Co-Op as in MP
Fuuuuuuck microsoft!!!!!!!!
What yahtzee says is true and it makes me sad. Microsoft will dig up this buried corpse and feed it to the vultures.
Anyway. I'm surprised by the small number of fan-boy's flaming. Usually when he takes down a popular game some fan-boy chucks a tantrum and i could never understand why. I'm a fan of halo, oblivion, mass effect 2 and April fools yet i didn't spaz out when he reviewed those. I'd also like to say, these video's shouldn't be taken seriously. It's all for shit's and giggles anyway. Why do you care about his opinion on an opinion based subject? But and i also see the refusal to review multi-player as not a big deal, because as I said earlier, it's only entertainment.

I bought Oni was back before Windows XP. At the time, I had Windows 2000 and the Oni system requirements listed that Windows 2000 was supported. But when I tried installing the game, I was presented with a lame dialog explaining that the device drivers that Oni needed weren't yet ready for Windows 2000, and that I should submit my e-mail address so that they could let me know when the drivers were ready.
Instead of fooling around with a vague promise of device drivers, the next day I took Oni back to the Game Stop and got a refund. They initially protested that they wouldn't refund opened games, but couldn't argue when I pointed out that the box clearly claimed Windows 2000 support that it didn't have.

Expectedly "out of left field" there.
I wonder if you worried that hating stuff will make people think you liking something is just done to make them surprised now, Yahtzee?

So he's reviewed what, 2? 3? Halo games now? One of which was an RTS?
An SC2 review is long overdue. SC2 fans certainly don't expect him to gush over it, we know what his reviews are like, but I do think he would actually appreciate the Galaxy Editor, seeing as it would not at all be hard to make his "ideal RTS" concept in it. Furthermore, it's one game that can stand up solely on multiplayer (which will be even better 5 years from now than it is now) that absolutely doesn't have to.

I hate all the damn halo nerds going on about the online anyway. Online on halo is shit and the single player isn't much better.

At least it isn't like stupid ass Gametrailers.com they play the same stupid Red Dead Redemption commercial on every ad for about 2wks now.
I gotta agree with Yahtzee the game is pretty good but at heart I'm just a 3rd person kind of guy. I just never got how the 1st was called combat evolved when there really wasn't anything new.
