The single player mode but really be dumbed down to handle 4 people now.

While I loved the co-op play in the other Halo's, 4 players is pushing it.  It is going to be insanely easy with so many people unless they have the horrible idea they did with legendary on Halo 2 and have all players respawn when one dies.  I never played co-op legendary in Halo 2 because of that horrible new feature.  You can be doing great and your friend takes a bullet since he isn't quite as good and you have to start all over.  I can't really picture anything difficult enough that could actually kill all 4 players.

Perhaps they'll do it like Serious Sam and add "more enemies" and "enemy HP boost" options to the game setup?

That is a good design choice, Serious Sam, that will help Halo become the epic they exclaim it to be!

Dave Perry is batsh*t crazy.

GI: What do you think about the development situation on the Wii, in that a lot of publishers are jumping in late to the party and they’ve also got to compete with Nintendo’s first-party titles?

DP: That’s the bottom line. Do your homework. You have to allow for that. You can’t assume it is going to be like the other platforms, because you are going to have Nintendo taking most of the sales. And if Nintendo really sees you as a threat, they will take the moves to wipe you out. They are not going to let you win.

Meaning, if you sell your game and you are charging USD 60 or 50, or whatever price you choose, they will sell their games at USD 39.99 and they will kick your ass. So, the bottom line is, whatever you thought your business plan was, they can shake your world at a moment’s notice and they have a track record of doing that. So I would be very concerned with wanting to bet the farm on a Nintendo platform.

While it's certainly a legitimate concern that 3rd parties have to compete against Nintendo games, Perry is convinced Nintendo is deliberately trying to screw them over.

Where in the holy hell is he getting this nonsense about Nintendo selling their games for less? When did this ever happen?

Wait. . . why should we care what this guy says?

Oh and yes, agreed that he has no clue what he is talking about.

What's that idiot doing asking for 50-60$ for a Wii game? Of course Nintendo is going to undercut him if he's going for a price above the average. 50-60 may be a good idea on the 360 or PS3 but on the Wii the prices are going down, not up!

Also I don't think he had any real business with Nintendo since the SNES days so I expect his knowledge is from back then, too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most third party games on 360 sell for $60, while most first party games sell for $50?

Shhhhh!!!

[Stogi]

Actually no that's not true. They all sell for 60 bones.

I know, because I recently bought a 360. *crowd gasps*


It was a halo edition. *crowd gasps again*

I'm a shady person when it comes to businesses. I bought it with the sole intention of returning. Why did I buy it you ask? Well to play Winning Eleven for 7 days of course. *crowd sighs with relief*


Yes I know I'm shady. Winning Eleven is the best sports game I've ever played though, so it's worth the trouble.

EDIT: I should probably add a disclaimer. I only done this (this is my third time) to companies I hate (i.e. Wal-mart; Microsoft).

Gasp!

[ReverendNoahWhateley]

I actually prefer Doom 3 to any of the Halo series.  Seriously!
