Didn't see a thread so put this up here, looks to be pretty ambitious, spanning 10 years.. wanting 40+ hours of game play.

Burned too many times to be optimistic, despite the pretty art direction.

I respect Bungie as a company. I didn't play Halo after #3, so I don't know if they got terrible or not, but I enjoyed those more than most people here might claim to. I thought they brought a level of refinement to FPS's that was nonexistent in consoles at the time. I look forward to seeing what they've got.

They plan to keep the game going for 10+ years, so PC ? I mean next gen consoles could easily last 10 years, but why limit yourself ?

Big words, shame there was nothing concrete.

It sounds like the announcement was so dull because Sony got them to pull gameplay so they could reveal it at their big meeting on Wednesday.

However, I wouldn't get your hopes up: I think that's for the PS3 version. I don't think there's a PS4 version until 2015.

Getting a major Gregory Benford's Great Sky River vibe from the setup. Not a sentence I ever thought I would write.

Apparently the only confirmed platforms so far are 360 and PS3, with PC not being out of the question. I guess you could play 360 vs PS3, but PC players need to be separated because m+kb stomps gamepad users.

You know if they made this game sort of an MMO/FPS game it could be epic. You have the central city where its server based, and all avatars can wander the city with shops, AH's and such for different weapons and armor. Different Clan Halls, Guild Halls, and job recruitment stations. With the storyline you can play single, or Id say up to 4 player co-op. After you play the campaign is when the city becomes accessible and you can find groups for other random missions. Full character customizations with rare armors and weapons. The different jobs you can take would be like Halo 4's Spartan Ops. Throw in some Firefight from Halo 3 as defend type missions with rewards similar to Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Future expansions are new area's taken back as you fight back against the alien threat. Like a jungle area, desert area and so forth.

As you grow in power so do the enemies get more powerful. Mowing down waves and waves of easier infantry who you struggled against at first and then fighting what used to be bosses earlier on but are now mid level enemies as you fight stronger bad guys. Viewing you more as a threat as you claim back more of your world.

Maybe even throw in some form of organized Clan play where clans can que up for competitions and such. 16 vs 16 payer clan fights in arena's.

So....basically Borderlands: Online?

That video was lol worthy for sure. They spent 4 minutes masturbating to the fact that they're bungie, and then that little guy at the end talking about how "nothing can top halo" with that little smile..

There was absolutely nothing that wowed me about this reveal. Not the environment, not the grand designs that's going to "change gaming forever". All I see is a FPS MMO that has a companion mobile app, maybe?

Good luck Bungie, you'll need it.

For the life of me, I don't understand why the evil aliens just don't nuke the city.

So this looked awesome at E3. It's shaping up to be something special IMO. I love how in depth the lore seems.

Game looks gorgeous and that 60fps HTML5 video they use on the site is really nice as well. Too bad I can't get into FPS shooters, would love to see this universe played out in a more story driven 3rd person type game like Mass Effect.
