    In my opinion, the biggest way the Halo franchise influenced gaming industry is by showing to people that you can make an "ok" game and find ways to get about 3X more cash than you should...

    Probably doesn't matter, but Bungie didn't give us Halo Waypoint, that's managed by 343i. Probably why it sucks. :) I agree with the really high placement of community though.

    That row of masked men pictures is lol-worthy. Separately, they look mildly-to-very interesting, but when lined up all police-like, it really is funny how similar they are. Great article Charlie. Please come back to the podcast. I miss you.

    I consider Halo 2 the first mega midnight release in North America, since according to the "experts" it sold 2.4 million copies on day one in North America Nov 9th, 2004. Bias, your avoiding the review score, which is the most important thing in the industry.

    Not a bad article. I have never really cared for the halo franchise, but do appreciate the ever evolving medium upon which it seems to have effected so much change. Maybe I will finally get around to playing Halo 3.
