343 fans are like "destiny is horrible because in order to get the story you need to find dead ghosts and read out of game text," but then when i say halo 4s story was farfetched, theyre like "find the easter eggs and read the books." Thats the definition of fanboy logic. That gentle trolling aside, the reason so many people dislike halos story is simple. For the overwhelming majority of those who played halo 4, two things are true: first, they have played a previous halo game; second, they have never read a halo book. Take that into account, and condsider that while for you (and admittedly most of the halo fans on this forum) the books may be canon, for most people they are not. Most of us entered halo 4 expecting master chief the killing machine, not mc the warrior of prophecy. For the first time halo turned from straightforward scifi into partial fantasy. As for 343 being a better home for halo than bungie, im not buying it. Bungie has been a letdown latley, but keep in mind that 343 has yet to make a single good game. Even their attempt to remaster bungies GOOD halos was a disaster. It seems like they set out with these grand ideas of everything they can accomplish, with no realistic idea of what they can do in the time alotted, and end up coming up short (ie, having to cut split screen within months of the final release of halo 5). Edit: as a side note, i do have high hopes for 343 and am super pumped for halo 5. I just dont get why everyone dickrides them so hard, theyve done nothing to deserve it.
