I played the first Halo on PC, and it was ok at it's best, I quit caring about Halo after I found out how awesome Valve is. But if others like it and they're willing to spend $60 on the same game with some new maps, then that's fine by me. One of the games I really want this year is Mario Kart 7 and I plan on trying out Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, who am I to judge.
Poll: What are your thoughts on Halo 4?

It's an abomination, but I'm going to let it pan out and see what happens. Maybe 343 will be able to make this not a petty attempt to revive the series. Halo was awesome, but damn man sometimes you have to let an old horse die in peace. Personally I'm hoping that 343 will work their asses off and all that money they got from the Halo:CE remake will be put to use making Halo 4 actually good.
I loved Halo 3 to death, but I didn't care much for Reach. Reach wasn't necessarily bad, I just didn't feel like playing it anymore at a certain point. I just got tired of the Halo franchise as a whole, hence I didn't buy Anniversary.
So as for Halo 4, unless a trailer or something gets released thats able to ignite the old flame I once had for the series, I probably won't get it.

I know it's a bit of a treasonous sin punishable by death 'round these parts (.. I think), but I only continued purchasing the Halo games because of my love for Bungie itself. I knew they weren't really getting any better (aside from the multiplayer - Bungie has NEVER made anything less than perfect multiplayer), at least to an extent.
Being a Bungie fan is essentially in my blood at this point. My father was a mac fan-boy (despite his saying otherwise), and he still is. Which meant I was exposed to Bungie at an early age (in fact, Marathon was certainly my first shooter, Myth my first Real-time Strategy, and I might have even touched Oni a bit, although I don't remember it if I did).
You can certainly admire and support far worse companies.

It's hard to imagine the game being bad, stale maybe. I suppose if the new developer is planning on switching things up a bit it might not be, but the idea of them coming out every year is a mistake.
My friends....its going to rock and hopefully start a trend that will slowly bring us away from brown shooters into games with good story, characters, game play, and beautiful artwork.
well obviously its leading to this:

It's okay, I have come from the future to put you all out of your misery!
You see, I know that it only makes you look stupid when you try to judge a game that thasn't come out yet, so I thought I'd hop back to let you all know. Since so far very little is really known about it beyond some concept art and a trailer or two, it would be rash of you to automatically declare it awful or good already, right?
Well unfortunately I've run out of time and I'm about to be bounced back to my own time. Ah well, let me know what you think of it when it's actually out and you can judge it without prejudice.

Whereas I've personally never seen the fuss with the series, more of something that a lot of people enjoy can't be a bad thing.
New studio; new direction sounds sensible as well - potentially welcoming new fans with the option for individuals not appreciating it to remain with older titles.

Not at all. I guess I lost my train of thought and forgot to put down the point of my post. And that was: I don't care about Halo 4. At all. I hated Reach's campaign, and I was pretty tired of Halo's campaign by 3 - although I was briefly rejuvenated by ODST's campaign and firefight mode. The only reason I bought the games was to support Bungie - and to a lesser extent, play with friends.ZeroMachine said:

however, i do notice a trend in what i like:
most rpg's i don't want them to change much, just continuation of story and such, but in fps's and action games, i do like it when they change it up between each game of the series
