Does anyone realize that 343i has worked on every Halo game since Halo 2????

4 or 5 out of all those Bungie employees is really stretching it. They seem to be outsourcing everything and just "overseeing" it too, even though Microsoft has their own internal game studios. It is kinda strange to me.
Yeah, I know that... But that dude who wanted to change the core of halo and add a japanese influence was, well, stupid. Halo's already had a taste of japanese influence with halo legends which, I add, was epic. Changing the core aspects of halo would make me turn my head in disgust.

New video from Frankie about Halo CE A and its 3D. It brings up the question, if spark had the weapons to destroy the Autumn and was willing to do so, why didn't he target and destroy the covenant forces? The reason why he didn't should be interesting seeing as it would never have started Halo CE.

I take particular issue with this post so I'm going to reply despite being 6 days late to the punch:
Moral of the story: Halo is a milked franchise, and will continue to be one.
Right, because they were milking the franchise. No one wants to be stuck making games for the same franchise for eternity, unless they want the reputation that comes with it. Electronic Arts, anyone?
Saying that Halo is just being milked to death is just... well... pretty much exactly what you stated was, and will be, done. 343 Industries' creation is pretty tangible proof that Microsoft is going to milk the cash cow until its dying day.
It's possible, but not common, that a genuinely good game lasts to see a sequel or two. Staying power does not directly correlate with being a good, or even decent, game, however.
That is one of the defining properties of a milked franchise, yes.
Call of Duty is perhaps the best example of a milked franchise currently in existence. It's not so much that it's a horrible game (I personally think it is but that's for another discussion), but the fact that it changes so little between iterations, much like every EA Sports title that people shell out $60 for every year.
Or people who have found an alternative use for the word that makes sense in context. e.g. this usage.
I agree, they're doing a great job with Halo CE:A, at least from what I can tell from videos. But the announcement of a new trilogy alongside it made it quite clear that the Halo cow is having calves, and those poor suckers are already being sent to whatever decrepit factory Microsoft wants to operate.
Moral of the story: Halo is a milked franchise, and will continue to be one.
Quick comp of the Mk V Helmets:
343 changed the anniversary helmet to it's original state in the original Halo: CE. The reason why it was unporportionate in the trailer was because thhey were not able to fix it in time before the commercial would be aired (or something like that).
What do you mean by fix? the trailer was the alpha build along with the alpha model of chief. It was just an early model nothing was broken.

@ImaGonnaGetYou: I have to respectfully disagree with you... To say Halo is being milked? Maybe, but I, along with many other Halo fans, wanted to see Master Chief's story continued... or at least see Halo continued in some fashion.
I will say this: When Halo starts getting millions of eye rolling and facepalming when the words "another Halo" pops up, (I'm looking at you Star Wars), that's when it has, in my opinion, become milked.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.
Yep. Well put.
And I'm tired of the 3D version of the Clone Wars. I miss the hand-drawn, five-minute episodes...

Well at least those who didn't read the novels can enjoy the campaign... Most who watched the Star Wars prequels didn't read any of the expanded universe content and still didn't like the prequels. lol.
Plus I am still in denial... I kinda like the campaign... It needs some help to make everything fit, but I kinda liked it. (Lack of scarab battles didn't amuse me, though.)
it won't have the gun in single player.
