People keep saying that Halo is being milked into oblivion. While most of us disagree, people rarely see what other popular things have been milked. For instance, there are 22 James Bond movies. Yet Casino Royale was incredible that far into the series' lifetime.
Give it a chance.
James Bond movies aren't re-released in a relatively short span of time with constant tiny adjustments like Halo text is. Original new things that 343i has produced that have expanded the Haloverse so far have been:
Legends
Evolutions
Cryptum
With the following projects coming up:
Halo 4
Halo Grasslands
Things that 343i has essentially regurgitated:
- Halo The Fall of Reach x2 (not once, but soon enough they'll have done it twice for the sake of the "definitive edition". Adds just a few new pages for miscellaneous short stories as incentive for a rebuy)
- Halo The Flood (while not announced, it is likely they'll reissue this yet again so that it will have the "definitive edition" label slapped on so its uniform with the new new Fall of Reach and First Strike. Adds just a few new pages for miscellaneous short stories as incentive for a rebuy)
- Halo First Strike (Adds just a few new pages for miscellaneous short stories as incentive for a rebuy)
- The Halo Encyclopedia x2(added controversy of copy and pasting Halo wiki articles and being of poor quality in general in the land of typos and other miscellaneous errors, but later this year the Encyclopedia will be reissued with errors fixed and a few new pages added in as an incentive for a rebuy)
- Halo Visual Guide (which is essentially a smaller cheaper version of the Halo Encyclopedia containing new information from Halo:Reach)
- A graphic novel version of The Fall of Reach divided into three parts. (Spend an extra 60 dollars (three hardcover compilations full price) for a condensed, but illustrated version of the reissued novel)
- A motion comic version of Halo Evolution stories (at least this is free)
- Halo Evolutions Vol 1 and Vol 2. (Which is just a rehash of the original Halo Evolutions with one new but very very short story added in both of them to attract people that already had the original compilation of every other major story)
- Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary
James Bond is a rather poor comparison for milking...
