Do you trust 343 with the future of the Halo franchise? Vote on your decision.
It’s hard to judge them on game making really since they’ve only made 1 map pack for Reach and a remake of Halo CE. Both were great however, and so I do trust them at the minute. Can’t really say how I’ll feel after Halo 4 but I think Halo’s in very good hands!
We believed
then we droped
then we Remembered
John is waking up it is time to Believe agian .
Well due to their involvement in updating reach, i would say i do. Rather, I should say that i trust that they want us to be happy.
Some say that the trust must be earned. So my judgement so far what I’v have seen the 343 Industries doing, I do trust them. Not blindly, I do have shadow of doubt towards them as well.
I do not. They’ll earn my trust if they produce a great Halo.
They’re involvement for the failure that is Reach has been amazing. However, will they be able to do the same for their game if it’s another “Reach”?
I think they will.
Do we even have a choice? I’d rather have 343 make Halo 4 than any other developer out there. Also, our trust in 343 will not affect Halo 4’s game development. If you decide not to buy it, shame on you because you’ll be missing out on one of the most awesome Halo games ever.
So far I have really liked what I’ve seen from them, they seem to really care for the franchise.
However, I will withhold judgement until after I play Halo 4 (I am very excited to play it!).
I trust 343i 100% 
I trust them them, just 99.999999%. I have yet to see what they can really do, butI’m satisfied with what I’ve seen.

NO MATTER how much you dislike Reach, its not a failure.
Population- over 300,000 UNIQUE players everyday (the amount of players you see at the time you are playing doesnt show all the people that have played that day)
Sales- sold more than Halo 3 at launch
Campaign- great campaign, if you dont like it thats on you
Multiplayer- yes it can be rediculous at times: they need to remove the ability to become invisible at will, AL needs a shorter use time/longer charge time, 85% bloom is perfect, invasion needs updates, bleedthrough needs to come back nerfed, double pummel needs to become obsolete, sprint should be canceled if the user is shot while sprinting, sniper rifle needs to spawn with less spare ammo/ longer spawn time, etc.
Firefight- one of the best things that could have happened to Halo
Theatre- another great addition
FORGE- need I say more?
Overall, great game, its just that a lot of people didnt enjoy it
How could you possibly trust them? They have made no FPS’s before, and so far all they have done to “evolve” halo 4 is conform to mainstream game standards after so many specific requests not to by the community.
> Sales- sold more than Halo 3 at launch
lmao. No -Yoink- it sold more at launch, how were we supposed to know what we were getting into?
Everything else you listed were just gimmicks. Forge and theater yeah that’s kinda neat, I spent a few minutes messing around with them. And I played the campaign for a little too, probably like 2 days. But then I probably logged 150 days of play time on halo 2 in the multiplayer alone, without all those gimmicks.
We can analyze it all we want but for whatever reason, reach just dropped the ball compared to the previous games

You need to realise that this “community” isnt the entire Halo community, this is the Waypoint community. There isnt even 150,000 registered users on this site, and not even half of those people are regularly active in the forums.
You also seem to think of 343i as one person. Its made up of all kinds of different people that have worked on many triple A games. I dont see how you cant trust them, they have done a great job so far.
I did at first, since I saw somewhere that Frankie wanted to stay true to “core” Halo. But Anniversary killed some of that, and progression system, loadouts, perks etc. did the rest.
So to answer the question; no, I do not. But then again, does it matter? No.
I would trust them more if FRANKIE would post on these HALO forums instead of neogaf
> I dont see how you cant trust them, they have done a great job so far.
A great job with what? I really haven’t played reach lately so what did they do in all the updates? They lowered the bloom a little right, and made the pistol do more damage or something? Also they made a couple cool maps for halo 4? I guess that’s kinda ‘great’
Edit:

What other “community” are they talking to? Isn’t this the only place we’re able to submit suggestions for halo 4? And are they even reading these forums? If so they probably just see all the posts about how CoD fans would love if they added perks, loadouts, sprint, recoil, etc, and decided that’s what they should add. It’s pretty pathetic

WOW another sheep on the “gimmick” bandwagon.
It doesnt really matter what you say, Campaign is far from a gimmick, multiplayer is far from a gimmick, forge/theatre are far from gimmicks.
The only real gimmicks were introduced by 343i(CEA kinect Library/ATLAS) but I still trust in them
My trust in 343 has mostly decreased with time. Unless they actually announce some competitive features not just the casual ones (perks, loadouts, sprint). My faith in them is just going to drop futher and futher.
