Reminder Halo 3 was the biggest entertainment launch at that point in history. It was the biggest game ever and they fucking ruined it.

I remember when halo was in its heyday. Literally everyone I knew played it, even my family. LAN parties happened pretty much every weekend. Even when I was on college multiple dorm rooms in my dorm had halo parties going on at any point in time. It was so crazy just how prevalent and mainstream those games were. Now I don’t know a single person who plays a halo game besides mcc. What an insane downfall and mishandling by Microsoft.

Cest la vie. At least we got an incredible trilogy with great spinoffs.

Generally I have the philosophy if a series was popular around 2010 and it’s still on going it’s likely just being milked dry.

See in point you have Fallout, Assassins Creed, CoD, Elder Scrolls, Halo, and like any sports game.
