Subject: Should the development of Reach been skipped?

As it seems, Reach has hurt more than it has helped. Halo faithful, including myself will support a Halo game. But you have to admit, seeing Master Chief advance along with weaponry only to halt that and go back in time taking out what was loved in the other games is counter-productive. I'm pretty sure patience would wear thin waiting for a Halo 4 after H3 was released. That's a pretty long wait. But I'm thinking another off-set campaign like ODST could've worked better. Reach is just too weird of a game with characters that aren't memorable. Stat systems will always be the focal point. Reach has a great stat system but even the absence of number ranks hurts. When H4 comes out, people will forget about Reach but still remember CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3.

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

You know it pretty much impossible for 343i to live up to Halo 4s hype?

halo 3 would of kept us busy until then. look at halo 2... kept us busy for like 6 years none stop.

Obviously. It wasn't in development for long enough. That should have been a give-away that is going to be sub-par.

I knew something was up when I heard there was no English dialogue for the Covenant. Cut corners. So obviously rushed.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

All I know is there is a good chance Yoda will be feeling the butthurt of millions if Halo 4 doesn't live up to the hype it's getting (aka: another Reach sensation)
