Default What Halo does, and why so many people enjoy it

OK, so the thread title sucks a little, but I tried to make it sound as if I wasn't trying to outright high-five Halo. Read the following article from Wired. It basically explains Bungie's workflow, how they tweak the game, and what separates Halo from other games.

http://www.wired.com/gaming/virtualw.../15-09/ff_halo

It is a long read, but it's worth it.

Discuss.

Oh, and

The level is intended to introduce vehicle combat, with players following a bunch of their fellow marines as they clamber aboard Warthog ATVs and ride out over a wide-open plain.
WiN!!!

Instant Respawn games are the shit. It's ROFL when you get a Triple Kill off the same person

I just finished reading the whole article, that is crazy man. The way they are testing the game to make sure all aspects of the campaign and multiplayer are fun absolutely awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on the game.

Halo 3 is the divinity in all its aspects, sadly I'm busy and can't read it now * bookmarked it *
Halo is what brought the non-FPS gamer into the FPS genre
