In Response To: Woah (rolandk73) : Dude, I have to take a stand and say I am offended. 343 is too knew to judge. : I don't think it's fair to be so paranoid and angry about them. They made : some mistakes with canon in Legends, but made up for it with Evolutions. : That's really all we have with which to judge them, save some comics. : Further, they've been hiring some of the brightest minds in the industry. : The fact that they're owned by Microsoft shouldn't be an issue, : considering that Bungie made its best games under the same company. I see : no reason to be so negative about 343. The way I see it, 343 have everything to gain by doing their thing and taking chances with the property. If Halo4 ends up being an attempt to follow Halo3, I will walk away from Halo altogether. But if they deliver THEIR vision of Halo, with fresh ideas and new concepts towards not only the canon but also gameplay elements then I am onboard. I do not hold everything sacred in the Haloverse. I will go along with retcons if they make sense and help the franchise later on down the road. In short, I'm not a canonhugger. I am open to change. Halo will never be the same without Bungie at the helm. And I'm excited by that prospect whenever I read Frankie talk about how much he loves Halo, when I see how the guys on Waypoint and how much work they do to entertain us lowly, cynical ratbags or when I see Halo approached differently through all of the extended media. (Not to take away my love for Bungie by any means.) You can't mistrust a company that has yet to fully realize it's potential. 343 need intelligent instruction from fans, not resentment for trying to continue with a universe we love. We should be thanking them if anything. Thanking them for wanting to keep Halo alive. Thanking them that some no name developer that just wants to make a quick buck didn't get the property. No matter how the franchise goes, I have full faith that the team they are assembling will do the past games justice and will deliver a good game down the road. They are already delivering some great fiction and there's so much more to come. Plus, they're nice guys who love the work. Can't hate that at all. -Hedge.
