Poll: Should 343 be given a chance/trusted with the Halo Franchise? [closed]
Total Votes: 56
Here me out, guys.
At first, I did not trust 343. I thought that they were all about the money, and would destroy the Halo franchise. However, after playing Reach, I have to say that 343 deserves a chance. Bungie is the last company that I would suspect to destroy their own Canon(Halo: Reach VS Halo: The Fall of Reach), but they did.
So far, it seems that 343 hasn't really done anything wrong with the Halo lore. In fact, they seem to be expanding upon it without completely contradicting/breaking old Canon. Now I'm a story man, and I love Halo's story. I've read the books, and I hold them at a high level of Canonical authority. IMO, Bungie took a huge leap of faith with Reach, changing Canon at it's proverbial "starting point", and leaving off the Halo franchise with a bad taste in my mouth. Halo: Reach's campaign deserved a lot more thought and care put into it than what Bungie gave it.
So, I think 343Industries does deserve the benefit of the doubt. We need to see how they can revitalize the Halo Franchise, and from what I've seen from them, I'm not disappointed. I have faith that the Halo Universe was left in the right hands.
What do all of you guys think? Do you think 343Industries, if not "trusted", should at least be given a chance?
It's a simple answer. Yes... or no.
