See Ethan I have a similar love for Halo. My friends and I are disappointed in ourselves. That's because we love Halo, we really do, but for some weird reason Halo 4 didn't do it for us. And it wasn't its fault. Graphics were better, story was interesting and the live action prequel was fantastic too. Mutliplayer was fun too. I genuinely think we're done with Halo as a franchise though.
But Destiny. Oh man. Destiny has gotten me excited for a shooter like nothing has in a huge while. Last time I got this excited was Halo 3. Maybe Bungie has something 343 doesn't, or maybe I really was done with Halo. I'll never know.
