I've played Halo 1 and 2, and that was it and went to ps3 for better graphics. Dont know what else Bungie has done or what games they made for the past 8 years but seeing the other Halo games im willing to bet this new franchise might kick ass! Gamestop sent me an email that Bungie is coming out with a new franchise for both ps3 and xbox360. When I read it I was psyched out of my mind!... So now I'm excited, not only for the game,but also I finally get to see the potential of their far advanced engine. Cant wait to meet new people and join or make new clans on this new franchise :)
