Hmm. 343 made halo 4 and the definitely flopped. Not profit wise, but gameplay was bland. Playlist rotation was dumb. And the buffer weapons that definitely didn't need a buff. Saw and ar destroy in that game. Wouldn't call it skill based anymore. Halo 2 was hands down. The best. (Made by bungie btw) Quit complaining about getting shards. If you did it once. You can do it again and hope for gear.
