True, but this is coming out in November. I'd wager it's going to be downloadable on the 360 and PS3, but I'm still going to buy it for some kind of All-Frying Pans hard-mode fiesta with OANST.

The Halo: Reach teaser brought a tear to my eye. Because of what was happening, not because I wanted it badly.

Milking is it being the same game over and over, with no real demand for it, and usually is passed on to a different studio to chug them out faster. Guitar Hero and CoD are being milked, Halo is not.

Milking is about making very similar games over and over again because there is a huge fanboy demand for something... anything new without requiring quality or innovation.

Guitar Hero adds new features and songs with each game.

By your definition, CoD 4 and CoD for PS1 are exactly the same with with prettier graphics on the former, which happens to be astoundingly retarded.

Bungie has:
Pulled Halo 2 in half, forcing us to wait for the remarkably bland Halo 3.
Added nothing original or innovative to the FPS genre across 3 games.
Created a legion of rabid fantards (not pointing fingers) that ridicule anyone who doesn't think that Halo is the second coming.

I believe CoD has been praised for introducing new standards in graphics, gameplay and storytelling at least three times. All Halo ever managed to do aside from creating a nice story, which was told for 50% in novels no-one read, was add 'dual wielding' to Halo 2. ZOMG REVOLUTIONARY.

I notice two errors in this post, one of them involves reviewers who obviously have no idea what constitutes good storytelling in a computer game and one of them involves judging canon by EU.

Not that I'm a Halo fan myself, mind.

I believe good storytelling is still a matter of taste, so debate all you want. I personally thought the way the story was told in CoD 4, which is the only CoD game I've played, was damn good and original. As for your second point, I have no idea what you're talking about.
