Your point is a very valid one, my friend. But think about it, this whole arguement really doesnt work. Whilst its true that if Halo was about Halo and it sucked, people would be put off the game. BUT only people who never played the game, those that played it would still know the game itself was good... even if a Halo movie sucked, I would still know that Halo was one of the most ass-kicking games I have ever played. If a Halo movie was not about Halo and it sucked, well, nothing would change. Y'see? It really doesnt matter whether the movie content is that same basic story or not, because people who have played the games will already have an opinion about said games, and people who havnt played the games wouldnt know the real storyline from a bar of soap, so really, it wouldnt matter what the movies premise was about. Thus, you may as well keep it about Halo.
Err... thats pretty confusing, but I can figure a way to simplify it... Ok... Resident Evil the movie, for example. The people who played the games most likely wouldnt have said "man, that movie sucked, Im never playing another RE game again!!". People who didnt know squat about RE may have said the same thing (minus the 'another' and the 'again'), but even if RE had followed the storyline and still sucked, people who didnt know squat about RE would STILL say the theyd never play an RE game, and fans of the game would still say that whilst the movie sucked, they would keep playing the games.
Sigh... I apologise my friend... I tried to offer an explaination, but I think all Ive done is confuse us both...
