Jezum Crow, there’s a lot of info here…  Bungie style.  So that means a lot of platitudes and very little on anything else.

So here’s what I gleaned 

• It’s an MMO but not, that you can play it solo but have friends help you out along the way.  Or meet people that’ll join in your fight.
• It’s an always on persistent world, that you’ll be able to interact with via mobile devices when you’re not in game.
• The story is big, like real big.  They plan to keep this thing going for a decade.
• Players are highly customizable.  Including naming your weapons.
• Space combat.
• Based mostly on earth, but also travel to other planets in our solar system will be necessary. 
• New graphics engine.
• It will be out for the 360, and next gen consoles hinted at for next gen consoles.
• Activision is publishing this one, and it will be available for the ps3 and ps4.

It’s all over the internets so you can check out their reaction, but very little game play is shown.  

It’s interesting, very interesting, but my beef is that Bungie thinks that players will be friendlier to each other when they encounter each other in the game.  Like there’s a code of honor.

So I don’t think player behavior is going to change by the time its out.

They’ll invent a new way to teabag maybe.

Oh no, nothing is gonna go wrong with this idea.  This is a perfectly safe invention.  Although if I was the Dropkick Murphy’s I would be on the phone with my lawyers.

For the record, I came up with this idea YEARS ago.

LA Noire, poor under appreciated LA Noire.  At least it gave us an unblinking glimpse into the uncanny valley.

Although the one option I would love to have seen is a classic 1940s interro-beat down like they did back then.

Because nothing gets grandma to talk quicker about her traffic violation than loosening up her teeth, with your fist.

Ummmm…. yeah.

i-e-madness:

I was until very recently a subscriber on YouTube to xboxahoy. He does weapon guides for COD. I hate his gameplay because it is terrible, with drop shotting and jumping.

I left a message telling him that I hate his play style and that he has lost a subscriber. I wished him well because he has never done me wrong.

The backlash from his fans has been horrendous, you would swear that I insulted his mother. I’ve been deleting emails close to 30 now of nasty, idiotic and distasteful replies.

Those words can be used to describe the majority of the COD community which I have not been a part of for 2 years. For these reasons.

Lack of skill required 

Terrible people

Racists 

Bigots 

Homophobes

The list goes on and on. Now I’m not saying this is COD only but it is worse in that community. Now excuse me I have more emails from pissed off 14 year olds to delete.

Have a nice day everyone.

Well…… what do you expect?  If the guy in question plays like a bitch, he’s going to act like a bitch in real life.

Next time just unsubscribe, and keep it quiet.  Asking for civility from 14-year-olds is like asking lions to switch to a vegan diet.

However there is no excuse for the racism, bigotry, and homophobia.  Report those fuckers!

Nooooo continues…… noooooooo continues for you!!!!!!
