Please don't regard the following as the main idea, I just find it necessary to explain my position.
I've given 343 the most hope I could.
I expected halo 4 to be a letdown. Instead, I actually thoroughly enjoyed the campaign, even though there lingered little of the thrill I experienced in Halo: CE to Halo: Reach.
I tried the multiplayer. And please, it doesn't matter if you agree or not, it's not important to you, or me.
I was let down. Not because I'm bad at it, my first game was a cool and easy 30-12 positive.
It was bland, and tailored in the wrong direction. I respect your opinion if you say you enjoy the multiplayer, however it is undeniable 343 has let go the element of Halo and has rammed a CoD components into it. That is solely what I dislike.
I would say I enjoyed the game, however was rather disappointed. I found it unfortunate they mixed up such a great game. Halo 4 has its strong points, but as multiplayer is the most important part of a game, I believe by average, it's fallen short. No, not the multiplayer mechanics, but rather the [i]reason[/i] 343 decided to mash CoD components into it.
So!
Following the beginning of Destiny...
Are you distancing yourself from Halo and 343, or do you plan to?
I believe primarily, there will be two kinds of people.
First, those who are disappointed with Halo 4 and 343 will rejoin Bungie such as those mentioned above, perhaps buying or even renting just one or two more halo titles,
And others, who will be [i]enjoying[/i] both.
Bungie has been gone for too long.
You know my choice.
What's yours?
Please respect opinions from both sides, (as this is the community forum, not the flood. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qHDDhw54RM#t=2s]BOOM![/url]). Opinions of those who will continue to enjoy the great halo saga, still undeniably a [u]great[/u] game, and those who have simply decided Halo under 343 has changed too much to be "Halo" for them.

On the first day of Halo 4 I played as good as I expected...as I always have. Typical average of 27-9. A few days later something happened to where I was going 12-12 almost every game. Don't know what it was but something changed. I guess I haven't gotten a good feel of the maps or what but something's up. No Halo game will compete with my nostalgic Halo 2(which still isn't on the dashboard for download!!!). Simply put, no Halo will replace the fond memories from Halo 2. As for Destiny. I'm looking forward to it. I want to come back to the world of Bungie again. In fact that's why I'm on here now. Hopefully Bungie delivers with this game and I can get similar nostalgia from playing Destiny as I did from Halo 2.
