Online gaming should always be free.Bazfragbeekayjay, is partially right. It is free to him because he is not paying for the server or the bandwidth. But some one is and just like our BS government eventually that some one either runs out of money or says F it and quits. Bandwidth and server space ain't cheap, look it up some time. Bazfrag, Same thing I just said, some one is paying the cost whether it is you or some one else. Some one always pay, just like in the real world. Like food stamps government assistance, it is free to the people who are receiving it or using it. Again the money (or in this case a game server) just don't exists out of thin air. I do not know how many servers from my favorites list just disappear after a while never to appear again.
So? It is nice to have a broad story of the halo universe. Take Halo wars, gives a chance to see how some things came about that we guessed about from the previous games. I love the master chief but I always loved the marines that were in my care. They were funny, crude and the reason I kept playing the first, goal was to save as many as you can on legendary. But I like how they are fleshing out the universe which doesn't completely revolve around the Master Chief. Though I would like to play the chief when he was younger and first getting started. As for PS3 I have seen no games so far that justify me to pay for it. I once was going to get the PS2 just for the GTA series but just when I was going to they put it on xbox.Good ??
Theres a very good chance of another Halo flop...Theres not even Master Chief in it !

Nothing in life is free. I don't care what any one wants to think, nothin is free at all. PC people who play on any server should know that it isn't technically free. Some one is paying for it. Might not be you but some one some where is either paying for the server space or trying to host it from their computer. Just pay attention to the scrolling messages before during or after the game or while the map is loading. They all are either hosted by a clan (who pay dues) or asking for donations to keep the servers running. I should know because every time I turn around on BF servers and other Multi player games that message pops up. I don't know about PSN but again some one is paying for the servers, if not you then sony or the game publishers. Yeah 360 makes you pay but that means you can always play any of the games all the time. Even now you could play halo 2, mech assault, even crimson skies still. I know, thought I try it out while waiting out Hurricane Ike and for the power to kick back on (xbox doesn't over work my generator). So the question is do you want to pay with the garruntee that you can play or run the risk of just droping out with out notice like some of my favorite servers.
