I laugh at your pitifall attempts to defeat me!
Bungie created a beautiful universe, in Halo, but they definitely started to wane because, from what I believe, they wanted to pursue other projects. I'm not sure if 'tired of the franchise' is the way I should phrase it, but they most certainly wanted to take a break. With Reach I got a sense of this. It didn't have that spark, which past titles had. I think they started to gradually lose their way, and it showed.
I love the Halo universe, and whilst Bungie's a big part of the reason it is what it is they're not the sole reason. The extended lore, outside the games, have contributed to my love just as much as the games. Though I haven't read Cryptum, I know bits and pieces and some of the stuff I've learned have really got me fascinated. 343's passionate about, and seem to get, the universe; and I am optimistic about its future. What they're doing with the CE remake is brilliant. Love the addition of improved terminals; and they're general desire to offer great stories. The way they spoke about it, and Halo in general, gets me excited. I'm highly anticipating Halo 4, as well, for sure.
One thing I think will vastly improve, is the story-telling.
So, yeah, love Halo and love Bungie. I'm not one of those 'Halo's screwed 'cause Bungie's not making it' people, because I don't think it is at all; but Bungie did great and I wish them well.
