Low quality video plus an earlier Beta Build. I’m sure the Beta coming out on the 16th will be much better quality.
To this day, Bungie has never disappointed me. Even from the early days of Myth and Marathon they have always delivered quality material with little to no BS.
And I don’t mean to single you out Jay, but why do you feel the game is mediocre? Never impressed by the graphics? General gameplay? Story line? A little more than ‘meh’ just to back yourself up. I’ve always enjoyed Halo because its a more simplistic, straight forward game. I enjoy puzzles and hunting, and racking my brain every now and then. But I also enjoy some straight up ‘kill every mothafucka in the room’ carnage sometimes.
