New to you guys, loyal fan to the halo universe.
I made an account solely for this thread
Mostly a sob story so if you kids don't want to read idgaf.
I've played every single Halo game that Bungie created both competitively and as a crazed halo fanboy in love with the story (books and all). The first time I touched this game was when I was about 13 and it was still only on the demo cd where you played the opening scene of the Cartographer.
Fast forward through the years, the feel of the halo story always kept me up on release days and I eventually got into gamebattles and watched mlg on the webcast. Throughout Halo 2, 3 and ODST the game kept the same feel but never lost it's luster. When I say Modern Warfare couldn't compare to Halo 3 at mine or any of the surrounding schools, I mean I COULD NOT COMPARE . Even ODST was a big hit.
When reach came out, it was so apparent that Bungie completely scrapped everything that we came to love, that everyone swapped over to COD. I honestly would love to know what you kids are talking about saying that halo evolved. The Halo franchise never changed it's core until Reach came out and that's when Halo lost it's fanbase. Halo 3 stayed on top of MLG until Reach took over. I'm sorry Bungie if you ever read this, just know that you ruined my childhood love by developing Reach and I only liked the storyline. The multiplayer was just a ****storm.
This could be another Coca-Cola story and Halo4 could be the Halo Classic your true fanbase is hoping for, or it could just turn Halo into something like Pokemon where the show has run it's course and the only people who like it are children and creepy old men. 343, please dont just suck halo dry until it just becomes this pathetic excuse of a game; revamp it and show us you really are the old Bungie staff in disguise *ahem* Frankie, Shishka, and Vic.
tl;dr You're dumb if you think Halo Reach was a step in the right direction. amiright?
