@viciouskiller: If you have ever oberved real women having gone through some quite terrible events, they remain women. Sure they can look physically different but the fact remains they have their own view on things and behaviours rather than the male fantasy fulfilment rife in video games and movies that is being passed off as this pathetic excuse for making her effectively nude just to create a "sexy" character. It is outright objectification of women, might fly in the 90s but we're no longer there.

@jonexotic: Did I say that? I do not see that mentioned in my comment. Furthermore how is walking around naked covered by some thin lines passing for clothing just sexiness? I don't see people finding that acceptable in any public setting, definitely not so in any of the civilians and personnel in Halo.

@kargion: I just said they are over sexualizing "woman", did you even bother reading the comment?

Barbarism being passed off as something a "smart" person would do. Seriously MS just spit out the truth, you are targeting the lust of immature kids (and adults) with no real concern about your portrayal of women. Your female spartans are essentially men with breasts too, no real shift in perspective, no real respect, just flavouring, pathetic.

@ericmbacon: Exactly, trash kicking people when they're down cannot pretend they are civilised.

@Moonco: Is this your idea of a joke?

@jokingjoey14: A) I don't even know who total biscuit is.

B) It might surprise you but some people actually express opinions using language beyond the usual cynic-driven childish negativity prevalent on gaming article comments.

C) No attempt was made to seem more intelligent than anyone else. If you feel insecure reading comments on the internet I suggest cooling off and re-evaluating just what brings about such pointless aggression in you.

@madmonk: I did not bash it and am not protecting the first one, that is your perception of the situation. What I did do was point out the obvious fallacy in the first question that was clearly stated as a rhetorical question but in this context has an answer which disproves the point.

@jokingjoey14: It is obvious that a person commenting about this cares. There's not just your opinion in the world you know.

There was a time when Rovio was producing amazing games for the Symbian OS phones, games like the Darkest Fear series and 3D Need for Speed games for hardware dating back to the pre-smartphone era (c. 2005). The company had a diverse portfolio with superb games running on almost unbelievable technology (that NFS game's 3D for example). Since Angry Birds hit the scene I was initially hoping for them to scale up and bring over those greats to better platforms but instead they just threw themselves bodily into the hype train (successfully for quite some time I might add). Now the price of stagnation is coming to them. Maybe some day it will return to its glory days when it was a great game developer, Angry Birds is casual fun but it can't feed a full studio indefinitely.
