Attitudes are contagious, mine might kill you.
If you're looking for my Halo 2 online records my account was "Destri" back then, but for some reason xbox live won't let me link it to my bungie profile :( Well whatever I guess.
There probably aren't many people reading here, but I feel as though I should speak; there are others who feel this way.
The spirit of a specific game is not just its story or its gameplay. Halo 2 was a magnificent game; not just because of its mechanism or story (though in both cases it is stellar), but because of the time it existed. As much as I love the game, the climate in which it was released will never be replicated. The developers, nor I (who adore the game beyond words), will ever be able to bring it back into the similar spirit of which it was first released. This is not anyone's fault; the fault now only belongs to time itself.
I, and many others, would love for Halo to have a resurgence: but it wont; at least not the same way. There is room for the series to go forward; but backward represents nothing but a feeble attempt for us to cling onto something we recollect fondly, but in fact no longer exists.
I leave room to be proved wrong. I do not claim clairvoyance; only to have some experience. I hope I am proved wrong. I am certain that some funds could be raised by replicating an older game, but is that the right direction? The correct way is forward; even if we have an ardent longing for the past.
I love Halo. It will always have an extraordinarily special place in my heart. I will place myself blatantly next to whatever choice is made for the series; but sometimes the wisest choices are made from the heart and not the head.
