Good point. And ya know ever since bungie broke away from 343i in 07' the halo games that came out after halo 3 weren't quite as good (let's face it, reach was good but it didn't deliver much of a story) and maybe that's because 343i wasn't overseeing the projects (or maybe cuz master chief took a vacation).
I have high hopes for halo 4. games today just don't involve me like they did with the halo franchise.
please don't let us down 343.
