That\'s nothing to be ashamed of, mm.

It\'s no worse than anything I hear playing Source

[MPTheory]

I played WoW for over a year and a half and definitely find that there are more assbags online with consoles. Although, I think some of that comes down to the game in general. Take for example a fan video from Final Fantasy Online as opposed to a a video from, lets say SOCOM. (I only use FFonline because its both on PC and Console). The FF video will be some cutesy little music video with ENYA playing in the background Where a video from SOCOM will have Disturbed blasting while showing a clan blow eachother up with Claymores and granade launchers.

It\'s official bitches!

ya official

There is nothing being said on Live that you won\'t hear while playing any online game on the PC. If you think there is, I suggest loading  up QuakeWars, WoW or CS:S and listen to the crap said there.

Microsoft will retain an unstated equity interest in Bungie, and will continue a publishing agreement between the developer and Microsoft Game Studios for Halo intellectual property as well as other future properties developed by Bungie – corroborating reports that Microsoft will hold the “first right of refusal” for an unknown number of titles.

The key being MS retains rights to Halo - the only game Bungie is known for.  Honestly, this was a dumb movie on Bungie\'s part, as I would say Halo was more a flash in the pan success .

but if they succed, people will know them for something else then Halo and will stop saying they can\'t do anything else then Halo.

Quite frankly, there is nothing wrong in willing to try different.

They may produce a cult hit, but the chances of them recreating the success they had with Halo is slim to none.

I can\'t imagine they\'re too worried.  If they never get out of the shadow of Halo they\'re still filthy rich.  I don\'t see them doing anything but we\'ll see.
