Are Activision [being] dicks or something? 

Yes. Activision is dicks. They ruined Blizzard, too.

[JCTucker]

No way this had anything to do with Activision. Bungie insulated themselves as an independent company from a publisher running their business, they were very paranoid after MS.

 

 

When has that ever stopped Kotick from destroying his toys?

[Drew]

It was the board of directors of Bungie, not of Activision, that fired him.

 

We are never going to get an answer as to what actually went down, but I'm guessing it's related either to his politics or to his pay.

 

I am excited to see what he does as a free agent, though. A wide variety of games with Marty music? Should be neat.

Nothing that really inspires me, but I'm waiting for the competitive MP reveal at E3 anyway. Jesus, that reminds me of the H2 reveal in 2004. I remember coming home from an AP test and loading up videos and being in awe at Zanzibar with vehicle boarding and energy sword. lol.

 

10 years ago. Ugh....

The competitive side of things is the last thing I'm concerned about. It's even less so now that they are only limiting sides to 3 per team.

[JCTucker]

Not true.

Don't forget the first time they show dual-wielding with the SMG and Needler. To think that Joe Staten isn't even a bungle anymore.

It should be 3 per fire team for the "campaign" portion of the game, but I'm sure competitive multiplayer is a higher amount of players.

I've not been watching videos or really reading anything about this game in the hope that Bungie will blow my mind with an awesome game.

It's looking more and more likely that I'll be buying this for the Xbone too.

Pretty disappointed about 3-player co-op in campaign... Seems kind of like a step backward.

 

Raids might be 6-player, but how many will there be? Kinda sux.

[DualX]

The only thing I'm kinda at odds with the game is that the guy voicing your Ghost seems very disconnected, bored even to everything that's actively going on. This was even more apparent in the videos that was just recently released. =/

[JCTucker]

That's Tyrion. Peter Dinklage. You take it back.

Not the end of the world as far as I'm concerned but I find it strange that they wouldn't do at least 4 players as that's what's considered the bare minimum these days.

I mean, he has a point though. It's not really his best performance.

This reminds me of when Respawn said Titanfall would only have 12 players for "balance purposes."

"We couldn't get four players to work on last-gen consoles, so let's make up some bullshit instead."

Imp Slap!

I actually thought the same thing, except I started thinking they'd probably use the cloud and other dedicated servers.

cocop in dat public alpha.

[phreak]

The alpha embargo was lifted so there's lots of content. Here's some MP:

 

 

It definitely feels like CoD with the sights and sprinting, but there are some elements that feel very Haloish, like the shotgun, sniper trails, and that thing that moves and fires like a ghost.
