As someone who feels that after halo 2 halo games in general have been sub-par, I feel we should give 343 a chance. Go play halos 1 and 2 for a while. Play the multiplayer, play throughly through the campaign, find all the skulls; then switch to halo 3 or any halos after it, and you will find that they are nothing like the old, both gameplay and story-wise. From a campaign perspective, odst and reach didnt even follow the established storyline from the halo universe. They were all fun in their own right, and i have to admit halo 3 has a great multiplayer, but the last 3 are still nothing similar to the first 2. And as someone who has been around since the beginning, the first couple games are the ones that define halo for me. Bungie has already changed too much, "franchised" the series, and trashed the campaigns and stories. Still, Im going to buy the next halo game. But if it doesnt improve on the last few, it will be the last one i buy. :P
I agree with some of this. I ask, though, how did they change the story in Reach? ODST was an add on and they could have done anything with it because there was not set anything about there being ODSTs left there in any book or game. And I don't know about trashing the story in Halo 3. When they announced that this would be where they ended the story, I think (personally) that they really put alot into 3. I liked it. I am not dissing on you or anything but I am just saying.
