10 Clear-Cut Examples Of Video Game False Advertising

Once upon a time the Halo series was the pinnacle of the first-person shooter genre. With its unique combat and a multiplayer that carried the Xbox for years, Halo was truly Microsoft’s golden goose.

The promotional material for the game showed multiple story elements that did not appear in the actual game, while the story that did appear in the games was complicated nonsense that confused newcomers and fans alike.
