This message is for those who began with Combat Evolved. I truly want to apologize for starting late. You guys (and girls) started this Great Journey when it began. I envy you. Because unfortunately I started with Halo 3, a year after its release. So in a sense I began the Great Journey of Halo 7 years late.
Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan now. I have collected all 8 Halo games, even the Legendary Edition of Reach and the Limited Edition of Halo 4 (along with the console). I have beaten every game solo on Legendary (will never be going through Wars solo Legendary again, that was a nightmare, will go Easy next time!) and I have read a few books, I have Halo: Legends 2-disc edition, and am constantly re-reading information.
Now here’s a couple things that may disappoint the long-time Halo veterans. I did not cry or even come close to weeping when (SPOILER ALERT! DON’T READ IF YOU HAVEN’T BEATEN THE CAMPAIGN) Cortana died. I’m sorry that I didn’t feel an attachment. Also, I like the graphics and the multiplayer of Halo 4, and yes that also includes Spartan Ops. I love it all. They could use a better composer for the music but that’s it.
For fans who started with CE and hate Halo 4 or felt emotional through Cortana’s demise, I’m sorry that I can’t relate. Once again, I started late. I wish I hadn’t but there’s nothing I can do about it now. I will do all that I can to atone for this by spending as much effort as I can afford to being a better fan.

was this sarcasm? lol…or is there some underlying point to this i’m not getting?
I started with CE. Yes, I was bummed out when Cortana died. I am not overly disappointed with Halo 4. In all honestly Halo 4 plays the most like CE because the DMR is very similar to the CE pistol.
In short, I feel like I am not a true fan by starting late. It would be the same if I was a Star Wars fan but I first watched Return of the Jedi (Ep. 6) all the way through and then went and watched A New Hope (Ep. 4) and The Empire Strikes Back (Ep. 5). I lose the true impact that REAL fan would have gotten. I missed out. And now I am trying to fix that.

Be happy you weren’t around in the glory days of the old trilogy. You would be less positive about Halo 4 as a fan…
