Although I'm glad that the Halo universe has kept on going via books and other media, I'm kind of pissed that they won't let the chief rest. Even though I hated the fact that Chief was stuck in space, 343 continuing his story takes away from the power that Halo 3's ending had. I'd would've prefered to see games about the 20 plus years that the war lasted.
A lot people, such as myself and many others I know, are glad we're done with the Covenant war. I'd prefer to not have to repeat the same thing for another 10 years.
That's what Halo is. Covenant vs. Humans. Seeing it from a different perspective would help getting rid of some blandness but true Halo will always be that which revolves around the original conflict. Anything other than that is not Halo, per say. Bungie understood this and decided to move on to a different game. Because think about it, what else can the Halo universe possibly throw at us? Forerunner robots? The Flood? Innies? Covenant? We've pretty much seen it all.
Adding onto what others have said, it may then come as a surprise to you that Bungie originally planned to do Halo 4, but their contract expired in one game. They knew H4 would be the first of a new series, so went with Reach and left it to 343i.
I don't think you understand just how big Halo is. The Covenant is a micro-cosm compared to what many refer to as the "true" Halo story.
You're right, but the way I see it, if Halo 4 really is gonna be like the original Halo games (gameplay wise) then no matter what people say, it's going to get old because we've been seeing this same gameplay for the past ten years. And if it's something comepletely new, then why even call it Halo?
Don't get me wrong, I love Halo's gameplay, but to me, and this is just my opinion here, story is far more important and I think the way that Halo 3 ended was perfect.
But who knows, maybe Bungie left Master Chief floating in space so that one day the story could go on.
Well, it's sort of like Halo CE, in that they left it a cliffhanger so that there COULD be a Halo 2, but if it bombed, it wouldn't mean there was going to BE a Halo 2. It was so popular, Halo 2 was created quickly. I haven't gotten tired of Halo yet, and I've played them all. Halo 3's ending was very good, but I knew that Bungie wouldn't let Halo die. I knew, that even though Master Chief was stuck in space, Halo would live on.
