Halo was original as of four years ago. Its the third game in the series. Its relatively a very new franchise, and I really don't think the sequel, or third game in a series is a bad thing. Upwards of that, maybe you have an argument, but come on. Fans want the games. What do you say to the millions of halo fans looking for a new version of their favorite game? Sorry, we'd make it look better than ever, keep that solid core gameplay while adding a few little extra tweaks for ya, pimp out the multiplayer over the 360 version of live like none before... but we're too busy pretending to be artistically superior to you, we don't feel like making it. You have to play what we tell you to play. What about the fans? Can't they get what they want? Don't be an elitist snob and thank you're better than little billy who bought the last six years of madden games, even with (gasp) only sparse improvements because just maybe... he wanted to get them? Enjoyed them? If the developers have a story to tell, let them tell it without interrupting and asking when it's going to end?
