It's just not a flashy name for it at all. It's got to be one of the most uninspired, least evocative console names in recent time. PS2 and Atari 2600 still sound so much more impressive when you say them.

That isn't good, remember what I said about not giving a damn about the multiplayer trend? Another reason why is because it's invasive and undermining the concept of single player gaming. It's simply not the hot ticket the press want you to believe it is. How else was it different?

Cortana is now rebelling against humanity..........I just don't know how I should react to that revelation.

I'll say they didn't! Sounds like a VERY unbalanced game. And if you can't even tell what side you're on, then that's a problem. Handholding? Like what kind of handholding?

Sounds like it picked up the slack a little too late then.

Sounds like it. I can tell you Call of Duty 2 and the MW series are still superior to a lot of what's out there right now.

At least Halo is spinning that stuff off into its own side story, Halo Wars. Separate from the main canon. But yeah, Halo has zero cause to borrow from other franchises and styles when Halo itself is already a massive success story in its own right, and one that shows no sign of losing momentum.
