500 Million Halo Games, Halo 3 Documentary 48
Gamespot reports on some interesting information for Halo fans. Bungie has created a seven minute documentary about the Halo 3 Trailer run at E3 this year. The short piece allows fans to see the trailer from different angles, and provides insight into its creation. They've also released word that there have been 500 million Halo 2 games played since the game's release. From the article: "This is just the latest of several impressive accolades the game has achieved. In just its first few months in retail, the game sold 6.4 million copies worldwide and logged 91 million cumulative hours on Xbox Live. According to NPD, the game has sold more than 5.1 million copies in the US as of April 2006, accounting for almost $253 million in sales domestically."

I have. Both. They're good games and fun to play, but the "story" is utter crap and completely uninteresting. I hope that there will be less indoors (dark alien environments) levels, and more of the open, beautiful ones of the original in Halo 3.
> But I am amazed that they have a full orchestra for a game.
This isn't something new.
> Halo 3 production these days doesn't seem any different from a big budget Hollywood production.
I agree, and that's exactly what's wrong with today's games...
