Correct, and guess what was also the '70s? The Atari 2600. It came out in '77]]>Aug 3rd 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Aug 3rd 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/
Sigh. Hammer/Ice wore "Hammer Pants." "Parachute pants," skinny, made of nylon, thousands of sippers. Called parachute pants because of the nylon, not cause they (Hammer Pants) were puffy.

Damned kids! GOML!!]]>Aug 3rd 2010 6:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/
Yes, and the universe revolves around your town/city. Where I am from, MC Hammer wore 'MC Hammer pants' aka 'parachute pants'. The 'parachute pants' you are talking about are called 'swishies' where I am from.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Aug 3rd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Aug 3rd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Yeah the one shot kills suck but it's pretty awesome... if only someone would bring this to Android, I'd love to be sitting around playing this on my phone.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Aug 3rd 2010 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Aug 3rd 2010 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Aug 3rd 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Aug 3rd 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/

Although I am happy they added sprint. I was fed up of the old "shot at first die first" thing they had going on, because I was unable to get away from enemy fire.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Nope, its just you. And the whole "shoot at first, die first" thing is related to your skill level vs. your opponents skill level.

If everybody could run away from enemy fire, the game would be awful. One of the best parts of Halo (or any other FPS) is surprise attacking your enemy.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/former-microsoft-vp-brings-halo-to-the-atari-2600/Yes because the camping that goes on in the CoD games is so much more satisfying.
