One of the most anticipated games in 2007 would have to be the third installment of the ongoing Halo series. Many fans are excited to see what Bungie is really capable of. However, many people just don't seem to give up with their ideas, rumors, and just plain silly demands.

IDEAS

        Many fans were excited to hear that Bungie officially announced that there will be an ATV (Mongoose) in Halo 3. This vehicle was supposed to make an appearance in Halo 2, but things just didn't seem to work with the overall gameplay. Now, gamers everywhere are coming up with their own rediculous ideas for Halo 3. For example: playable Hunter (multiplayer only), playable grunts (why in the world would you want to do that?!), and interactive prophet chairs (.... why?... don't ask me). None of these ideas are even worth explaining. They are just flat out dumb. I admit, I have thought about some ideas too, but just leave it to the creators at Bungie. I'm sure anything that they will come up with will be a hundred times better (if not a million) than any mindless ideas that obsessed fans have to offer.

RUMORS

        There have been so many rumors about Halo 3. I don't think anyone could even count the number of rumors spilled out of the minds of morons. I know the anticipation is killing you, but just quit making pointless rumors that you spent all night thinking of. For example: The "X" button rumor. This is probably the biggest and most annoying rumor of all. The button was used in the past installments of Halo for interacting with the invironment around you (weapons, vehicles, etc.). Now the developers are saying that the "X" button will serve a new purpose. There have been a few logical rumors for its function, but most of them have just caused anguish to the many fans who are patient enough to just wait and see. Another ongoing rumor is the Arbiter. In Halo 2, there was a seperate  story line in about half of the levels as you played as the Arbiter. Many fans disliked these parts of the campaign. Most gamers didn't want to be separated from their favorite spartan. Some people are worried that we will play as the Arbiter again. I'm sure that Bungie will make it a whole lot better this time around if they do decide to keep that role in the game. Again, just be patient.

DEMANDS

        Well... I think I'll just have to quote this one for ya. "Release the game sooner!" Why in the world would players want Bungie to release the game sooner. If the developers released it sooner, they would screw the game up again. Now, I'm not saying that Halo 2 was bad, but I am saying that it was very disappointing. The game could have been a lot better. The developers even said it themselves. Halo 3 is a game that should take a long time. This is the game that will either make the franchise historic, or a tremendous failure. Halo 3 has some major competition on the 360 now. Gears of War was a lot better than a lot of people expected. Bungie has a whole new opponent. Epic Games has prooved that they can make terrific games.

        Overall, I think this game is going to be a huge success. Bungie know that they have a lot of eager fans awaiting the arrival of this legendary game. We need to ease off the pressure. Just be patient and the game will turn out better than you will ever expect.
