I STILL BELIEVE
I still believe,
In what Bungie did leave,
A game that was a giant,
Of which Xbox is reliant.
It was this game,
That brought shooter's fame,
All over the world,
American industry unfurled.
No more domination,
From companies of a foreign nation,
who had under containment,
My source of personal entertainment.
I still believe,
In what 343industries did conceive,
A game of new heights,
Deemed by us as slights.
New concepts, new ideas,
A taco with two tortillas,
A bright light in the darkness,
But actually one of distress.
It was to be better,
A game to re-write the letter,
But without a single beta tester,
All it did was fester.
I still believe,
It is not time to grieve,
But time to look for the dawn,
Now that Bungie is gone.
They chose a different path,
And the next game received the wrath,
My best wishes go to them,
Even as they treat us like phlegm.
If Bungie had stayed,
And this is what they made,
Would you still be mad,
Or actually quite glad?
I still believe,
That the makers are naive,
Of our wishes and thoughts,
Of who really calls the shots.
They can't respond to the number drop,
Unless we act as their prop,
And make them always heed,
The community that can lead.
Share you ideas with each other,
And see what issues we can cover,
The goals we will discuss,
Can prevent the future fuss.
I still believe,
In what we can achieve,
If we just work together,
And bare the stormy weather.
Get the fires stoked in the forge,
Allow the ideas to disgorge,
Load your choice of rifle,
This is not a time to trifle!
This is our time to firmly act,
To make the biggest possible impact,
On the future of our beloved Halo,
So 343Industries does not fly solo.
I still believe,
The series is on the eve,
Of rekindling the fire,
Inciting everyone with desire.
Soon comes the day,
When we all will come and play,
To continue the game,
That we wish to un-lame.
Brothers and sisters,
Misses and misters,
Make that day,
Today.

The Halo community is slowly dwindling, and shows few signs of recovery. The next time the community will experience a surge will be when the next Halo is on the verge of launch. That will be too late. Many claim 343Industries does not listen. Maybe they just don't see a united front. Remember the DMR's advantage at the beginning of Halo 4? We were united, and 343I made the requested changes. We can make an impact, but only if we build a united front for the community to get behind and generate the game we want to be released to us.
Let's work together to make Halo the best it ever was.
