i still think it's fake. (That's just my opinion which im entitled to so don't go and attack me) Either way i blame it on stosh
-
I KNOW that Micro$oft is behind this. I can feel it.

Balls. *Unholsters spartan laser and aims at microsoft*

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Appo117 why not drop something else?[/quote]Several reasons might exist. For example, it could be the most far off game. Why bother telling us about a game that's 2 to 3 years off?

Dear Bungie, I'm having an awful day, and i've been following your E3 news very closely. I want to say that you are my favorite company, and i've been backing you guys since marathon. I know whatever your next project is, it's going to what everyone expects; an influencial game that will ripple across our community, and the industry. I'm backing you guys 110% and thank you for being who you guys are. -Rainrix
-
I'm sorry on your behalf because you were looking forward to this as much as we were. So there are no plans for it to be announced later this week. How come?
-
Sigh. Microsoft ruins everything. Bungie, You still rock.
-
I bet it had to with GOW 2 and Microsoft wanting to keep the spot light on that game.
-
Once again, Microsoft takes a dump on its users and takes one step closer to making every person in the world hate them.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] StewArt of War I can't has Halo 4?[/quote] Funny...
-
I think Bungie is still awsome, it was a bit of a let down when they didn't tell us but it's ok, I bet they've got something up there sleeve....or do they?
-
Does it really matter if it was gonna make competition? So what? And even if they were concerned about this why not drop something else? It just doesn't make sense that Microsoft would drop the title that made the XBox, rather than some of those crappier titles they had on E3. C'mon, I doubt anybody gived a rat's ass about Banjo-Kazooie and Viva Pinata?
-
Wow that really is bad news, worst update ever.....not because of you guys but because it was news I didn't want to hear. Well I look forward to whatever it is you have and hopefully you will do something as cryptic as you were before the plan failed, it did make sense though, "please remain calm" and "there will be delays". Do you have a set date we can at least be ready for?
-
Luckily, I'm a very patient man. :) I actually don't mind about this delay. There is still plenty of time in our small lives, getting worked up about this isn't necessary. I'm with you all the way Bungie, even in times such as this.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Computerdude103 So are you telling me that Microsoft didn't know that GOW 2, Fable 2, ect. were going to cause "internal competition" until 7 last night. They should have realized it when they were planning the conference, months ago.... it just doesn't make sense why Microsoft would piss off people like this...[/quote]So you know all the factors that contributed to MS' late decision? Please, do tell. All you know is that MS pulled the plug, you can't tell why. Yes, we can infer that things that happened up to that point influenced MS, but you don't know exactly what, how, or why. All you know is that MS didn't reach that decision until that point. One cannot argue something with most of the facts missing.
-
I'm not really too steamed, since I didn't even know that E3 was on, until I saw this fiasco unfold. Though, I don't think anything gets accidentally leaked anymore, if what people are saying about Microsoft is true. You'll understand, of course, if I take everything with a grain of salt until I have all the information.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] AT AT Assault [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Appo117 That was low microsoft. They excluded Bungie because they wanted to show they didn't need big titles to show they're the best gaming company, and we see how that turned out. In the end, I think microsoft suffered, but not as much as Bungie. Loose-loose situation, just because microsoft has to act like a 4 year old. Kinda insulting. I hope Bungie gets them back BIG time. And I'm also wondering about the lack of chatter from Bungie on this topic. I mean 26 pages and nobody in Bungie has posted.[/quote]So Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 [i]aren't[/i] big titles? You may not like them, but the numbers don't lie. They are big titles. Microsoft doesn't want internal competition. Its bad for business.[/quote] So are you telling me that Microsoft didn't know that GOW 2, Fable 2, ect. were going to cause "internal competition" until 7 last night.

Why did they say Publisher and not Microsoft? you think they would? could the publisher not be microsoft this time? i smells something different in the air...

Its alright. I can wait. Im patient. Waiting for PAX, microsoft actually making a good decision? Or are they just waiting so the game can be in a better form and get the hype train rolling at a much faster pace later on? Or maybe they dont want to risk taking some of the spotlight from Gears 2 or COD5? IDK, but there better be a reason that at the very least makes business sense or im gonna bite someones head off.

They put a LOT of time into this, recorded a podcast, and made a video. Then Microsoft tell's them they can't release their own news, and then Microsoft accidently leaks the news. I'm guessing if they posted anything right now they'd prolly be more pissed than us, and that just wouldn't look good. [Edited on 07.16.2008 5:25 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x10 Da Bomb x10 wow really dissapointed bungie i waited the whole time and this is what i hear NOTHING! .......just really mad right now at you guys >=[[/quote] Be mad at Microsoft not Bungie,they tried to put on something fun for us and it got pulled. I have no doubt in my mind that the Bungie crew are just as upset about this as we are but there is no reason for some of you guys that are saying stuff like -blam!- Bungie they screwed us over Blah..Blah..Blah. It is just annoying that Bungie singlehandedly put the Xbox on the map and they are treated like this.
