Destined to sell more copies than it should.
Too easy?
Seems like. On my -10 to 10 scale of confidence it is sitting at a -5. Too much promised, too much idealistic talk of how awesome it is, and definitely too much circle jerk over Halo. I mean yea it's a good series, but no Half Life 2. As I hear more to their actual in game development I will of course keep my scale updated. As of now? They didn't show us anything impressive that we haven't seen before. They didn't explain any details. It sounds more like they are trying to sell us this game before we know what we're buying.
