Because Bungie said so.....
I moved this thread from the universe forum to answer many of your questions
We should have seen it coming when Microsoft announced Halo Mega-Blox childrens toys. This was only the start of a grand marketing scheme that has now been layed bare with Halo Ledgends. And I have figured it out. When Bungie left MS, they left the rightd to halo, which was a good play. Soon Bungie wont make Halo games anymore, but MS will keep my favorite series going. The Mega-Blox toys are to warm the younger generation up to Halo since they wont make a game aimed towards little kids. Halo Ledgends is aimed towards the Japanese to warm up the market in Asia. Halo's future is to become the next Star Wars, the next WoW, the next whatever-you-think-is-big. Halo will become a "franchise", and us Hardcore Halo fans(thats "Halo", not "Bungie", even though I love bungie) cannot stop it. But fortantly, our favorite Frankie is in charge of 343 industries and I trust that future halo games from MS will be of quality and we will have years of Covy killing, Insurrectionist gutting, Parrasite shooting ahead of us...
Now, concerning HALO LEDGENDS........
Most fans have expressed hatred towards this because it is an anime and looks cheesey, and looks suckish, and cartoonish, and sad, and lame, and......... the list could go on and on. But I choose to look on the Bright side and see this as an oppertunity not just for us but for the Japanese halo fans. This is catered more towards them than us but it looks awsome to me and I advise that you halo fans give it a chance before saying "h0LY CRAAP It sTINKZ I HATE BUNG7E SUKZ ARGHHHH"
