I think Halo 4 is proof that a franchise cannot be successful on its name alone. It takes a quality comapany to make it successful. I'm going back to following Bungie and just tossing Halo 4 in the closet. Unless an ODST sequel comes out (and it's good!), I'm not buying another Halo title.

I mean, look. Here's 343i, with the biggest (or at least damn near) franchise for the Xbox and they've failed miserably. Their sales were based solely on the fact that it was another Halo title. Remember back before the game came out? All the "I'm buying it because it's Halo." remarks? That's all they had going for them, and it's all they probably ever will have. Customs used to be fun, forge was a blast, and theater was useful. Now customs are a wash, forge sucks, and I can't do a damn thing with theater. Matchmaking is shot to hell (minus some golden playlists), the campaign was too short, and Spartan Ops has become an experience-farming whorehouse.

I think it's fine that they're putting something in, but they never should have broken or removed what we had in the first place. That's like buying a kid batteries for a birthday present and not getting him the actual present. It'd be nice if we could have our cake and eat it too, but I'll be damned if I let 343 have any of mine.

No. Fuck you, you don't get any cake.
