According to Amazon, Sony's exclusivity deal for the PS3 and PS4 versions is around a year long before that content will arrive for other platforms.

Xbox 360 and Xbox One beta expected to arrive in July but around a week or two after the PS3 and PS4 arrives (July 17th).

Halo never struck me as particularly violent anyway, but the ESRB are notoriously finicky.

The fact that they are spending 500 million developing and marketing the game, and that they have to sell as many units as possible just to break even also probably has a little to do with it.

Bungie recently responded about the $500 million claim from Activision saying only a small amount has been used for actual game development.
The COO of Bungie believes Activision was probably implying that amount for their 10 year plan for the series and not just for the first game. Also revealed it was them and not Activision that wanted the plan for the series. http://www.destructoid.com/bungie-sp...y-277344.phtml |

That's about right, really. Other Bungie betas didn't run any longer than two weeks.

It's a slightly more realistic Halo (if you can believe that), from what I see in the Twitch streams. Everybody pretty much echoes that it feels really good.

Not a fan of the multiplayer aspect of it. They can do without the vehicles.
Capped out my Hunter. Gonna roll out a Warlock after the servers are back up. |

You realize this is a multiplayer game? Or do you mean the competitive modes?

For those using the beta on the Xbox One, Bungie is aware of stability problems and has several quick fixes while they work on the issue. PS4's beta also had similar issues when it was released.

Reached lvl 8 and now I'm just meeting people in Explore mode killing shit. PvP will be very polarizing; it's way more hardcore than Halo and these are not the better maps coming from Bungie.

But have you played the metagame yet? AKA Duck Duck Goose AKA End Game AKA the reason everyone wants max level statz?

Actually the metagame would be largely shallow due to the many random-ish variables at play. There's more metagame in co-op missions where you can really coordinate your abilities with a team against specific enemies.
No interest in the duck duck goose thing. |

Duck duck goose is far from shallow. I mean, clearly the goose is going to strategically pick the one person that they know they can run from. With this, there will be the occasional sleeper who will inevitably catch the goose, but that is where the fun lies.

It's not a conclusion, but speculation. I'm not one to jump to conclusions, but I can make educated observations.
I got a 21 kill game this morning paying close attention to my ability cooldown and hunting down orbs of light when the game tells you a teammate made some. It's a very curious kind of strategy. |

For those who pre-ordered the special Ghost edition of the game, be warned that retailers have started to cancel pre-orders made due to Bungie only allowing a very small amount to be made. Anyone affected will get switched over to the other special edition instead (plus $50 if done at Walmart).
