This is not a replacement for any Halo projects discussed by 343i. Grim, an employee at 343i shared this with the /r/Halo subreddit in the thread for the arcarde machine's announcement.
Same
I mean, this is pretty cool I suppose, though I doubt I'll ever get to play it in my city here in the UK. Hopefully this wasn't the rumoured side project thing, as I'd prefer something I can actually play. Unless of course they end up releasing this on the console.
Sure when your drunk with 4 friends and want to co-op this should be fun. but it looks like a 4 player on-rails shooter that once you play once you experienced it. I don't think cinematics and graphics or story are what sells arcade games but fun gameplay. I mean why are people going to keep putting quarters in this halo shooter? They have halo at home, and it's not on-rails, once they experience this cool story why ever play it again? Not many care about high scores in on-rail shooters.
It's official guys, close all the arcades. Resetera says they are meaningless.

It's coming to other locations as was stated in this thread.There are literally 100 Dave and Busters in existence.. I think people are more upset they'll never get to play it, let alone the fact that the first 1st party exclusive announced in years ends up not even being available on the console.
You kind of do need the gun for it to be more fun though. Otherwise it's basically a dumbed down, overly simplistic take on an FPS.
Something like this would actually be a great fit for VR and a motion control gun adapter.
They are getting briefed that Halo is a weapon, but Cortana and Chief don't know that until halfway through Halo CE.
343 gonna 343.
They have evolved.
Jup agree.The fact that he even had to compose this tweet is pretty sad.
You shoot aliens.
Because halo is more than just games. It's TV, books, toys clothing etc. they had the opportunity to make an arcade game and took it...Why?
I mean, looks fun and all, but what's the purpose? Brand recognition? Anyone who owns an Xbox owns at least one Halo game already.
It's not exclusive to Dave and busters. Just timed essentially. It'll come to other places after a period of timeThere are literally 100 Dave and Busters in existence.. I think people are more upset they'll never get to play it, let alone the fact that the first 1st party exclusive announced in years ends up not even being available on the console.
Thats disappointing on all kinds of levels.
Very cool. Some of you handle these types of announcements in a very odd manner.
I want companies like Microsoft and Nintendo to do more cool stuff like this, not less.
Have to agree with you, but it is a sign of the times.What the hell is wrong with this forum that there is such negativity surrounding a new light gun shooter arcade machine, from the team behind many of the classics? I thought this was a gaming enthusiast forum!
Yeah I'm whining.
