Dammit, Bungie! (Part deux)

So, Bungie put out a video of the multiplayer gameplay for Halo: Reach. Now, after Halo: ODSt(Also known as Halo 3+1/2), I fully expected this thing to look a lot like the rest: all machine guns, rocket launchers and swords.

Then I saw the video. They still have the rocket launchers and swords and automatic weaponry (as well as the gravity hammer, which should infuriate some diehard fanboys), but there seemed like some intriguing new weapons. One that I'm a bit excited to use looks like a battle rifle, and seems to fire like a guass cannon from Halo 2. They also decided to put in more awesome assassinations (not sure how this will factor into time spent killing), which should make for nice movies. Then I saw it. Jetpacks.

S**t.

Yes, Halo decided to include jetpacks in the game, upping its awesome factor by at least 10337%, which does not bode well for my social life, or for anyone else's. Reach is shaping up to be a really good game, provided Bungie doesn't f**k it up with prequel shenanigans, like George Lucas did. I can assure you, however, that good or bad, many people's social lives will be obliterated by this game.

Look ma! I can embed videos now!

Dammit, Bungie! (and other frustrations)

Bungie just released their first ViDoc previewing Halo Reach. Against my will, I'm impressed. The graphics seem awesome. The story looks capable. The gameplay looks different, if not improved, so it doesn't look like a generic Halo 3 clone (*cough* ODST *cough*). It looks like it's gonna be a good game. So, what's the catch, Bungie? Are we gonna see the Master Chief's face? Are you gonna do a George Lucas and throw as many characters in as possible in a prequel? You better get it right this time, that's all I'm saying.

I'm really getting sick of the weather right now. The one place north of Florida that doesn't have snow is the place holding the Winter Olympics. Get it right, Mother Nature.

My graphics card also crapped out on me today. For some reason, it thinks displaying menu options constantly is a good thing. I'm getting pretty close to just replacing the thing. Stupid Intel.

Another thing I'm frustrated about is Blizzard. Stop milking your cash cow (A.K.A WoW) and get on Starcraft II already!
