64 players online on a console?

60 players online

8 player co-op with separate campaign
Space marine dude not included

I guess this proves Halo is more off a hyped product as the Halo has been mentioned more than lbp in the "LBP overhyped much thread" lol

Ugh. When Resistance has done a fraction to change games in the same way Halo has then maybe I'll start to listen.

But how did halo change anything, it just seems exactly like a thousand other generic FPS's that came for it, except it was advertised all over the place and came out a a good time when consoles where starting to adopt multi player.

I suggest you do some research Tefal, you may be quite surprised at what Halo and the 2 that followed have done to the gaming market.

It has little aliens that are cute yet vicious. With actual dialogue that can make you laugh.

For instance

"Bad Cyborg!"

And of course

The only thing innovating about Halo was 2-player vehicles.

Research? I played 1 and it just reminded me of a bunch of old shooteres i'd played in years gone by.

But please do tell what great changes they brought about.

How exactly is it being overhyped? Sony have released a few vids of it in action and that's about it. The hype is generated entirely by us, the people, via the websites we read.

Errr...

So the hype has to come only from the developers/publishers for it to be classed as 'overhyped'? :confused:

I think it's almost always the media, gaming websites etc. that are responsible for too much hype.

That's my point. Just don't listen to them. The vast majority of them are sad gits who sit on their bum all day posting random fanboy news. I wouldn't really call it hype, just geeks getting exited over a few screenshots!
