Yeah, I agree. I was getting too into it. Still way better than ODST though.
Look, I appreciate you guys are Halo fans, but seriously. Can we be logical, here?
ODST was pretty bad, or atleast not as good as it should have been. I didn't mean to turn this into a "Modern Warfare pwns Halo" thing. It's just that my personal opinion is that Halo games are bad.
I'm glad you guys think differently, really, but many others, and my self, can agree that the Halo franchise is losing it's appeal.In some ways, you're absolutely right. But you have to understand, Bungie has to be very delicate in what they change and how they change it. The Halo franchise holds a level of popularity that only a few game series have ever achieved. This is one of the reasons that Halo 3 was basically a fancy expansion of Halo 2.
If they change too much, they alienate fans. If they do too little, they become stagnant. ODST was not Bungie's fault, btw. At least not entirely. It was originally going to be JUST ODST and Firefight + the beta invite on a 30$ disc. It was Microsoft's idea to repackage the entire multiplayer along with making the maps exclusive so they could reset the price to 60$.
If you didn't like it, that's one thing. But ODST was never meant to be the next game, it was just a side story Bungie made out of their love for the fans and the series. Reach is the true next title, and it WILL be better. Bungie has now had years to cull the feedback over the course of all the games and really deliver what everyone wants. This game will be Bungie's crown jewel, mark my words.
