I just watched the live coverage of E3 on Spike and after finding out about Halo 4 and Halo CE Anniversary, I'm kinda dissapointed.
First off, Bungie's Halo franchise has easily become one of the greatest video game franchises to date. Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, and Reach were all great games IMO but, do we really need a Halo 4? The Chief's story is said and done. The Covenant is no more and humanity is safe so, why can't we just leave it at that? Sure, the ending of Halo 3 left MC's fate pretty ambiguous but, I was pretty satisfied with that conclusion to the series. After all, the trilogy began with Master Chief awakening from a cryo-tube and ended with him crawling back into a cryo-tube. Anyway, the continuation of Master Chief's story seems kind of pointless 'cause I mean, who's he gonna fight now? The Flood? (And do we really want to fight the Flood?)
Secondly, the Halo CE Anniversary, to me, also seems kind of a waste. Yeah, sure. Us Halo fans love the game that started it all but, what use is re-releasing the original with updated graphics? It's not like it's any different from the original. (Mind you, that's pretty much it. Updated graphics. All the physics and gameplay of Halo CE are still used in the game.) And if its in the purpose of reintroducing the series' beginnings to the younger crowd of Halo fans, why don't they just play the original version of Halo CE? The multiplayer component that comes with Halo CE Anniversary is also stupid. It runs on the Reach engine so, its pretty much Halo: Reach's multiplayer being played on the classic Halo CE maps.
For now, I can't decide whether Halo 4 is going to be worth it or not since no gameplay footage has been released or anything but, I do know that I don't like where the series is going. And I have a feeling that Halo CE Anniversary is just going to be a weak attempt at breathing in some new life into the original.
Say what you want to say, but this is just my opinion on the upcoming stuff, so far.
