My 405th brothers and sisters,
Tonight will be the first time in the history of mankind that I will not be at a Halo game's pre-release party. Why you ask? Not by laziness I assure you, but rather my lack of enthusiasm for the upcoming game. I'm just not that excited for it. Sure it might be Halo, but then again, Halo has changed. And I feel that it's for the worse. I feel like it's just been too soon since Halo Reach to release a new game. I don't want a new game every year, that is not how Halo works. This isn't Call of Duty, but I'm not sure if 343 Industries knows it. One year between releases is not enough to fully play through and discover all of the hidden lulz and easter eggs hidden throughout most Halo games.
If I can expect a new game every year, then why bother getting excited for it? It won't be special anymore. I won't have to wait 3 or 4 years for the next game, which builds up huge amounts to tension and excitement for the next installment.
I've tried to keep myself free of all Halo 4 related content, and to be honest, the things that I've seen haven't excited me. The new armor looks dumb. Why are we fighting Precursers? That is beyond useless. Chief needed to stay in cryo until we really needed him, not so he could be woken up for money. I want to fight Innies. I want to fight Innies, and then be on Harvest for the first contact. (That's what happened right? I've forgotten) I want to be fighting Innies in defense of the UNSC, and then fight WITH the Innies AGAINST the Covenant. That moment of unity would be above all other things, magical and delightful, and it's what I live for.
Therefore, I have not preordered Halo 4, and I will probably not even purchase it within the first week of its release. I'm not really sure why I've made this decision, other than my uncomfort and distrust twoards Halo's new keeper and developer.
Discuss.
