Yes I just said that, Bungie put every ounce of their passion into Halo From CE - Reach , Yes you might not have liked ODST or Reach but they bought some great changes and the love could be easily shown , Firefight was introduced In ODST and it gave us a nice little break from being Master Chief, Although many will disagree I think it was nice playing as a ODST , it showed us the Halo Universe wasn’t just about one guy.

Anyone that’s not what i’m here to talk about. Halo Reach also gave us forge world , a actual good map for forging due to it’s sheer size.

Now Halo 4 What has it introdued ??? Nothing. A campaign that relies on you reading the books first to understand it , spartan ops which recycles campiagn and mp maps . Theatre stripped down with no campaign or spartan ops.

A dumbed down Online that is aimed at everyone and goes for the everyones a winner approach, This game also gives us the worst servers yet for a Halo game. Firefight has been removed why remove it 343? Yes bungie’s idea but this is taking a step back . Playlists have been taken out and never seen again like Multi-team .

There are Nowhere near as many vehicles another downfall , why remove so many vehicles? atleast replace them with new ones .

Custom games options have been dummed dowm and no allow for next to no customization compared to past halo games.

That’s just a list i thought of on the top of my head but there are so many things missing in this game it makes no sense . 343 took one steps forward and 2 backwards.

Forerunner guns feel bland and like the other guns. Their so boring its like the covenant and unsc guns with different skins.

The only good new thing about this game is the graphics in my opinion. Halo is now a cash cow for microsoft and 343. They release spartan ops to try and get this games dwindling population up so it looks less embarrasing.

Halo has always been a cash cow.

No it hasn’t CE wasnt and nor was 2 or 3, yes they made them with the intention of money but they actually put passion into it and gave us new things. it feels like 343 put no passion in this game and made it strictly only for money. no new ideas and things taken out that never should have been

No, not always.

Halo CE - Halo 3 were the prime titles.

It became a cash cow with Halo Wars / ODST / Reach / 4, 5, and 6.

The moment Microsoft bought Bungie, Halo became a cash cow.

Agreed but I still loved wars, odst and reach lol but screw halo 4 it’s so bad

Correct me if I’m wrong but Halo 4 hasn’t outsold H3 or H2 yet, right? I mean, it may eventually but it hasn’t yet–I could be wrong.

I was impressed with Halo Wars. I still play it every now and then.

Video games have always been to make money .343 put more effort into Halo 4 then Bungie ever did .

So is cod, but it’s still capable of grabbing its fans, while sticking to its roots. I haven’t heard much problems from them, except that there may be too many gadgets in mm, but all I hear is Zombie praise (seems they greatly improved it).

Maybe but it was a cash cow with a studio that actually cared about and the fans rather then one who wanted a slice of the pie to as if so to speak . Bungie cared for Halo Like Treyarch care for CoD

You’re just realizing this now? Get with the times.

No it hasnt outsold it , Halo 4 is the fourth best selling Halo . It is simply just the fastest selling Halo . theres a difference

It probably became one after the successes of Halo CE and Halo 2. Certainly Halo 3 : ODST was capitalising on it’s success.
You’re stating it like it’s a bad thing. As long as the games are high quality I don’t mind how successful it’s become.

Agreed But i want it to become succesful but I also want effort and passion put into it halo 4 feels like there is no passion or spark init. Honestly what is new in Halo 4 except the campaign - thats it , Reach had forge world, better playlists , Odst Had firefight , 3 had theatre and forge.

You guys do know the actual definition for cash cow is “A business, investment, or product that provides a steady income or profit”. After Halo: CE, Halo is an easy sell especially with all of the games, books and other forms of media.

I have a vidoc that came with Halo 2 Limited Edition back in the day that shows just how much work Bungie put in on that game - pushing themselves to the wire.
You are of course entitled to your opinion, but I don’t believe you’re doing Bungie justice with that statement. I also don’t believe comparing the two companies is helpful in anyway so I’ll stop there.

Please tell me you are kidding me. You being a halo loyalist and all, I’m surprised you’'d say that. Everything about that highlighted portion is just plain wrong. This is 343’s first game, and it has so many important problems.
