The Joyeuse IP Formula
I'll respond to you, because you actually took the time to read the entirety of my post. Thank you.
Yuck= Legends, for one. CEA, creatively, wasn't even theirs. I, personally, thought that Cryptum was a well-written book and good for people who cared to find out more about the forerunners. But let's give credit where it's due: That's thanks to Greg Bear on that one.

What have they added that was that yuck ? In my opinion cryptum was the best book in halo series...CEA was quite nice...and thats all...glasslands was worth reading...i liked it all...
You've made my point right there. People don't want this magnificent universe to end. Letting go of a franchise that has been with us for ten years is something that's hard to do.
You've got the attitude I've been talking about. This isn't a bad thing, though. I will forever be a Halo fangirl. Halo, and the Bungie community, saved my life when I was in a very dark place. I think I owe it to Halo to let it rest with dignity in my heart.
And no the story at HALO 3 ending was not an end...it couldnt be....The flood wasnt defeated...so it couldnt end...
Like I said earlier, you are welcome to go get the game and I'm not arguing that you shouldn't. That's not my choice to make for others.
I'm explaining why I will not be buying Halo 4. These are my personal choices, my reasons, and my intentions.
Here, have a summary, all of you:
343i was never, and will never be, an independent studio. It's a glorified branch of MGS tasked with making more Halo content. Only five people from Bungie moved over 343i; only three remain there.
It works on Microsoft's time and money. The result? New Halo games/content will be aimed towards the broadest possible audience, a game will be pushed out every other year, and we'll end up with a watered-down product despite all of the wonderful and passionate people in 343i.
Again, I wish them well, but as hard I try, I will remain a cynic until I'm proven wrong. I really hope that I'm proven wrong, but not amount of arguing about it on a forum will change my mind until then.
But, please, don't think that I've totally abandoned Halo. I don't feel that this is just a change in studios. It goes deeper for me. Watching someone's IP get ripped out of their hands in exchange for the independence they've been longing for, for years on end, is hard to watch.
I know that I can't change anything about it. The only thing I can do is, as a consumer, buy the products I have faith in.
Its a shame that some fanboys stop being fanboys just because of change of company...
