Of all the places on the Internet to find people who still (after all these years) feel betrayed by what happened with Halo, it's surprising that you would find any mild hostility in this matter odd here.
Bungie, the group of guys, redeemed itself to me after that--by first releasing the Marathon 2 source code, and then the trilogy for free, they showed how much they cared about their true flagship game (reverof nohtaram!), and their fans. But I have to guess there are people around for whom that wasn't enough, or who don't even know or care about what happened back in the day, and merely see Bungie Studios/Microsoft entity for the (effectively) console-only sequel mill they now are.
