I don't own Xbox 360 or One, played 1 and 2 on PC, only watched 3 on youtube. But for me Halo is one of my most respected shooters and I don't say that lightly. Its the only shooter besides the original F.E.A.R I play from time and time-again. Was hoping one day I should play 3, 4, 5 and wherever it reaches. Now after reading your article it makes me very sad. I suppose now I will play 3 and stop there. I do wish these publishers let franchises end, the only exception being stand-alone titles. A longer a single story runs the more convoluted and more broken it becomes. Metal Gear was a franchise which was supposed end on a high note and at the end it became something else I regret to ever play. Now its Halo, what's next.
