The Next Step in the Halo Universe!


  
  After an impressive showing at E3, the future of the Halo Universe looks to be in great hands with 343 Industries since Bungie passed the torch.  Now, I know that Kenny posted on this earlier, but I wanted to throw my two cents in...  First things first, someone give me an Xbox 360.  I'm not ready to roll over on my PS3, but man do I want to play this game.  The games in the Halo series have always been great as far as the single player is concerned, but the multiplayer has always been a step ahead in my book!  It was really one of my first forays into the online multiplayer experience and I want to get back there like a junkie chasing an old high! [Editor's note: I just started watch The Wire, so expect a lot of really outdated references.]

  While we all know to expect the standards, Team Deathmatch and whatnot, Halo Infinity opens up your complete Halo experience by tying it all back together!  As the debut trailer stated, the lines between campaign, co-op, and online multiplayer are erased.  Everything you do helps to further your Spartan career!  All that being said, I can't wait to see what the Spartan Ops have to offer as things progress.  Spartan Ops promises a series of 15 minute co-op missions, each one tying the story together, and opening up with a beautiful cinematic. But the great part is that, after the game launches, five new missions will release every week!  And even better..... ITS FREE!  I'm sure that's subject to change, but its free for now, and in this economy that's hard to beat!  All joking aside, while the gaming market is saturated with timed exclusive and platform exclusive DLC, its nice that the developers of a major game like this are taking extra profit out of their pockets to give back to their fans!  And if that wasn't enough....
  PRE-ORDERS GET FREE POSTERS!!!!  AAAAAAGGGGHHH! It'll look so good next to my Justin Bieber Tiger Beat Poster!  Master Chief and the Biebs.... Swoooooooon.  But seriously, until someone hooks me up with a free (working, I know your tricks!) Xbox 360, I'll have no reason to pre-order the game, and will forever have an empty space on my wall.
