Halo gets the Blues: related news

Why do so many gamers dislike Halo?

Along with a strong foundation of loyal gamers at Halo’s hands, the series has a wide variety of haters. Some of whom are Playstation fans who don’t like Xbox (for what ever reason, brand loyalty perhaps or just ignorance), and so with Halo being the face of Xbox 360 inevitably hate Halo as well. Other haters are "true", hardcore PC gamers who frown and look down from their high horse saddles of PC shooters and see Halo as an inferior breed.

PAX 2008: Gears 2 will not have a Halo 2-style ending

When asked if Gears 2's storyline will follow in the footsteps of a game like Halo 2 and its unsatisfying cliffhanger, Ortega comforted Joystiq's worries by admitting that players will "get nice closure."

Because that would totally put a damper on any trilogy hopes. So, no unsatisfying Halo 2-style ending, a sense of fulfillment and room to grow the Gears franchise? Sounds like a campaign winner to Joystiq.
