As anyone who watches the gaming industry at all knows, Halo 4 is now on its way. Congrats on getting years worth of Rick Rolls and wild predictions come true, Microsoft! And thank you Bungie for handing over your best ever game series to Microsoft and 343, who are now going to set about destroying everything you set up. Seriously, one trailer in and already they've: A) Given the Chief a jet pack which he never freaking used in the trilogy!; B) Changed his armor, again; C) Given him an explosive magnum, instead of Halo 3's neutered water pistol; and, perhaps most heinous of all, D) removed his crotch plate. And that's without mentioning the cartoony Halo Wars and the planned Halo MMO, which planned to essentially "stylize" the Haloverse so it became a clone of WoW. All I ask now is this: why did you guys do this? I have loved Halo and Bungie since the earliest days of the Xbox, where I first fell in love with the universe, and letting Microsoft dismantle all of that isn't going to help other people fall in love with it either.
We want our Halo back!
PS: Actual feedback, not complaints, would be appreciated. I left you guys a "Screw You" button for a reason.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

You know Halo Wars and the CANCELLED MMO had nothing to do with 343, right?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

1 non-canonical CGI trailer and idiots are already jumping to conclusions. Cry me a -blam!- river, your post is irrelevant.

343 was the Microsoft development team that has worked on Halo in almost all Halo games, and who publishes all Halo games? Microsoft. Also, who owned Ensemble, the force behind the MMO and Wars before dissolving it? Microsoft. Those are Microsoft's mistakes, not 343's. I just point out that I don't think that 343 can handle this well.

My friend, if it is called Halo 4, its the game right after Halo 3, making it canon. That's like saying that Reach and ODST aren't canon because they have subtitles. Just because something switches developers does not mean that stories become non-canon, especially if that new developer now owns the franchise itself.

Story reasons for a missing crotch-plate? This I gotta hear.
