I'm actually a very friendly chap, I even got invited to a party last year. They asked me to leave when I freaked out because I thought a cigarette I'd smoked was actually a spliff, but I think the thirty-seven-point-five minutes before that show clearly that I'm quite a popular guy. It wasn't personal dude, it never is. I just thought it'd be a humorous take on your question showing that [i]Halo[/i] has always been changing. If you think the same people who made [i]CE[/i] made [i]H3[/i], for example, you're wrong - there were a few, yes, but most of the staff were garnered between then. Jason Jones didn't even work on H3, and he was the one who pretty much single-handedly conceptualised CE and H2. Treating a multi-hundred strong team as a single entity is silly. Yes, there are new developers working on Halo now. Just as there were with H2, H3, ODST and Reach. Only difference is that there aren't as many 'grizzled ancients' on the franchise now, and maybe that's created a harmonious discord for you, but for me this just feels like a bigger change than usual between the games. Which is exactly what I wanted for a new trilogy if there was going to be one at all - before 343i came into existence I was of the firm opinion that [i]Halo 3[/i] should be it. Bungie had done all I wanted them to do. That opinion was reinforced after Reach.
