I think this guy makes around 521 (not really, just an exaggeration).
Yes, this is a community forum.
You saying that Halo is becomming CoD or Battlefield, is kind of laughable, without Halo, there wouldn't have been those games for quite some time.. So if anything Halo made them what they are today.
What Halo is differs for everyone, so don't say that a company is going to ruin a game because you don't like some stuff.
Yes, Bungie made tons of money off of Reach, and to be quite honest, Reach is my favorite Halo game because of the Multiplayer, forge, firefight, and customization options.
Halo's reputation has not changed in the slightest in the past years, just more people play CoD or BF3 because they are more populated, population counts don't increase or decrease a games reputation.
Many people like Halo for the campaign and not the multiplayer.
Halo 4 is continuing from Halo 3, if you can't tell from the trailer, it starts off with John waking up on the ship he went into cryo-sleep on in the ending of Halo 3
One last thing, you say you think they are going to destroy Halo, why don't you wait until November, when the game is finished, play it, and judge it then?
Have to keep adding as more people comment >.>
The no respawn time is only for ONE game mode, not for all of the multiplayer game modes.
