Of course it is. Its Doom, how can you not like Doom?

The only problem is, its 4:3 not 16:9. But it would look shit streched...

hold your horses guys this is the e3 demo, they had several months to improve the game since then, so wait till the final game is out to judge it

 

The E3 demo you say? I knew it, there's hope yet people!

 

I remember during E3, the press were unsure about Sonic and were slating the game for it's dodgy camera/controls. However, more recent demo(s) have been released since then, and the press have stated that it's been a vast improvement on the E3 build of the game. It was only 40% complete back then ffs!

 

Though why Sega released an older build of the game, I have no idea....

 

All this X06 news is brill too!! :grin:

Looks better idea for halo franchise than make FPS

 

Well Halo was a real-time strategy game first before Micosoft made it an exclusive game for the xbox.

My friend is selling his Xbox360 (premium) for £200 or £250 with 2 games.

 

I'm thinking of buying it off him, I've got a HD TV, so an Xbox360 would be nice, and i'm certainly not paying £400+ for a PS3.

 

So my question is: Should I buy it off him or not?

was it after that that it went into a third person action game, then on to a FPS?

On July 21, 1999, during the Macworld Conference & Expo, Steve Jobs announced that Halo would be released for Mac OS and Windows simultaneously. Before this public announcement, game industry journalists under a non-disclosure agreement had previewed the game in a private showing during E3 1999, and were reportedly amazed.

 

Bungie Studios later stated an even earlier development build of the game centered on real-time strategy and was "basically Myth in a sci-fi universe."

 

At E3 2000, the first trailer of Halo was well-received.

The version shown there differed greatly from the one exhibited previously, marking the first major overhaul in the game's development. At this point, Halo was a third-person action game, in which a transport starship crashlands on a mysterious ring world that orbits a star.

 

Early versions of Covenant aliens appear in great numbers and loot what they can, and war erupts between them and the humans. Unable to match the technologically advanced alien race, the humans on the ring world resort to guerrilla warfare. This version of the game featured Halo-specific fauna, which were later dropped because of design difficulties and the creatures' "detract[ion] from the surprise, drama and impact of the Flood."

 

In accordance with rumors, Microsoft announced on June 19, 2000 that it had acquired Bungie Studios. Halo became an exclusive game for Microsoft's Xbox video game console, and Bungie Studios rewrote the game's engine, heavily altering its presentation and turning it into a first-person shooter. Originally a key element, the game's online multiplayer component was dropped because Xbox Live was unfinished at the time of Halo's release. While a playable demonstration of the game at Gamestock 2001 was well-received, critics had mixed reactions to its exhibition at E3 2001. The game was released in North America simultaneously with the Xbox, on November 15, 2001.

 

A Halo port for Windows was announced to be under development by Gearbox Software on July 12, 2002.

Its showing at E3 2003 was positively received by GameSpy and GameSpot, with skepticism from IGN.

It released on September 30, 2003, including support for online multiplayer play and featuring sharper graphics, but possessing compatibility issues that caused poor performance.

Halo was later released for Mac OS X on December 11, 2003.
