Wait, you are saying Bungie had a responsibility to make halo 4 because of the legendary ending? If they created Halo 4, they would have to open more doors and more mysteries that would continue to convoluted the Halo story.
I'm saying Halo 4 would have been a better choice. In what way would Halo 4 convolute the story? I question you definition of the word, you have happily defended Reach when that is the most convoluted dichotomy the Haloverse has seen.
Right away, are you stupid? Reach came out over 3 years after H3, I also question your concept of time.
Halo 4 is a horrible idea, I think Bungie made the right decision to leave it at the legendary ending and to let the fanbase come up with their own theories and idea's instead of answering the question right away.
The legendary ending is not to open the door for yet another sequel (although MS and 343 might see it that way) it is there for the legacy and legend of MC and Cortana. This is the final mystery of the Halo universe and it should be left totally unanswered.
Despite the fact the final Terminal had MB pretty much tell you he was sending John to the Forerunners as an example of his atonement? Sure, lots of room for fan interpretation there. I'd like to point out that the fans do not make the storyline.
Sorry, Halo 4 is NOT a better choice then a game based on the battle of Reach. Although Bungie's execution of a Reach game was off, it does not change the fact that it is a far better idea then Halo 4. The problem was NOT the initial concept of the game, it was the actual way the story and the characters were presented.
How would that make me stupid? 3 years is BAD TASTE. Bungie completed the trilogy, They have finished the story of MC and cortana and they have left us with one last mystery. For Bungie to make the next big game on cortana and MC AGAIN is bad taste and in mine and Bungie's mind, boring.
The legendary ending of Halo 3 is a good ending, it does not require an answer or a game. I and many others are perfectly fine with leaving the end of the Halo trilogy unanswered, at least of a long time, because there's better idea's for Halo games.
I'd rather 343 divert their time and money on a game about Blue/Red team on reach.
