According to statements made by those sources, the ...

Im afraid this is not a rumor guys, but its really happening.  Gamasutra contacted microsoft and they would not say anything about it but they did say an official statement was en route.  It sounds like the studio is remaining open while the staff on the halo wars project finishes up but eveyone else has been laid off.  As soon as ...

Moderators could we get some more forums so that we dont have 50 different topics to discuss!

Sultan Travi: I have heard before that Halo 3 is a lot darker than the previous two games.

forerunner120: For me, being Live enabled would make the game that much better. I'm sure some of you disagree, please share your opinions.  Every single game for the Xbox 360 is Live Enabled.  

U1tramarine: Hi all,  You may know me, you may not but lemme just tell you a small story. I was the leader of the Halo: Retreat and Retaliation mod for DoW, we also had other sister project such as the HaloGen mod for CnC Generals. One day Microsoft sent the old "Cease and Desist" order to HaloGen after 3 years of hard work from ...

Reisgar42:because you CAN'T stand in line for both at once. I'll probably get the game asap and see the movie when its in stores. Ill do both of them.
