It's hard to believe that it's been five whole years since Bungie unleashed Halo on the world! To celebrate this momentous occasion we've got a few small announcements that may be of interest to fans of the series as well as a little screenshot from a game we like to call Halo 3.

I fully agree with Fxt_Redwolf. It's a cheap way to get people to buy a 360 for no reason. Halo 2 was developed for the XBox and the new maps therefore have no technical requirement on the 360. I also am very disappointed that Bungie hides behind the Microsoft Game Studios. They know the limitation to the 360 for the new multiplayer maps is completely unfair, you can tell that from the energy they put into pointing fingers at Microsoft. From the gamer or consumer point of view, there is no difference between Microsoft Game Studios or Bungie. They only thing the consumer sees is an announcement that basically tells them that Bungie/MS has placed a virtual and unnecessary limitation on the multiplayer maps for the sole purpose of selling more 360s. Especially in light of the recent release of the PS3 this looks like plain marketing abuse. Other then that, the other announcements and the screenshot look very promising. Good work Bungie but please, stay honest and upright and don't hide behind someone else when you make less positive announcements.
