That was absolutely magnificent, sad to see Halo leave the 'real' creators but new project seems intriguing.

Great vidoc. All that talk about how perfect Reach was made me cringe, though.

I agree. I'll miss it all though; Bungie, in my opinion, has always led the Halo charge flawlessly, even when a lot of others say they haven't. I came into Halo around Halo 2, then I worked back to Halo PC to play Halo 1. I started multiplayer playing LAN games at my school, afterwards becoming involved with the community and starting XBL with the Halo 3 Beta. Though there have been a million times where I've utterly been furious at the game or at Bungie, I'll still always think Halo belongs in their hands. I'm nervous to be honest, that more than just the story will be violated by Microsoft's corporate hunger, as music was probably my favorite thing about Halo aesthetically. As long as the next ones to carry the torch can match that, then I think Halo will be okay.

Who ever handles the challenges at 343i now is really herp-derping with the goddamn number 343. An omen for the Halo brand perhaps? Perhaps.

You're talking about the challenges right, Korn? I noticed that they all seemed to end in "343"

It's sort of en vogue now to trash it as a non-competitive, "casualized" game, even though it was vetted and influenced more significantly by MLG players than any other Halo title, ever. Part of me thinks that's sort of funny and ironic. Another part of me reads these posts and realizes that it's mostly sad. Live and learn.

From MLG and Halo: Is this the end of the road?
