Many Halo communities are about to come to a complete halt, and most of them will die.
ForgeHub? Xforgery? With online file browsing freezing these websites will cease to exist. Stat tracking sites like Halo Tracker? Meta Halo? With no API keys these sites will freeze. What of the custom content community? What of indie Halo communities out there? 343 is essentially monopolizing everything and forcing us to go to their inferior stats and subpar forums for custom content.
With Bungie officially leaving Halo and 343 taking over the reigns, it makes me wonder who we're leaving in control of the franchise. Not only has 343 infested Reach with the most controversial title update to date, but they've been poor stewards thus far and they've left most of the community in the dark.
Despite my personal opinions of what Bungie has done with Reach, the game was in much better hands when they were in charge. We're losing literally 90% of the features that we've become accustomed to. And then 343 expects us to shell out money for a new Halo product when we've seen nothing other than regurgitated content and their word to go by?
Reach isn't the only thing that's falling; Halo is about to go into a dark, dangerous hole, and I don't think Halo 4 is going to bring it out.
