I do. Plus, it would ensure I have a job for about 20 years give or take a few.

Of course, if the franchise stagnates, I'm all about shutting it down.
Well, Mario, Zelda, and Nintendo's other most successful franchises have passed the thirty year mark as of 2011. For Halo it's different...I want closure for the story involving the Forerunner, Flood, and Precursors, and don't want to have to wait that long (we probably won't have to). But think of the fan that started playing in their twenties/thirties in 2001. I don't think they will still be playing in their sixties. I just think it was a ridiculous statement by 343i. Basically I want the galactic space opera story to conclude with Chief's, and if they want to go back and explore the universe with other games that's fine (Harvest based game, etc...)

It literally couldn't be more true than what it already is.
Wan't me to disillusion you?

Yes.
Well, let's start off with the fact that Halo 4 Chief is shown to be drunk the entire time. That makes literally no sense at all when you look at Halo 4 and compare it to the previous games. Yes, I do think he should have a drinking problem in the satire, but not be drunk. Why? Because despite Halo 4's flaws and mistakes it made, it still had a solid story, and shooter mechanics. The last time the guns in Halo were as accurate, consistent, and powerful as in Halo 4, was in Halo 2. (Maybe it would actually make more sense if Halo 4 was manic.)

Probably completely irrelevant to the points I'm trying to make,but the Elite design they chose for the party attendants is wrong. They were obviously going for the Halo 3 Elites, but they managed to screw up by placing the teeth on the mandibles so they were facing inward a-la Halo 4. If you look at Halo 3 Elites, you'll notice that despite the Mandibles, the teeth are arranged like our teeth our.

Microsoft says to Halo 2 about why Halo 4 is included in the MCC makes no sense. The intent behind the MCC was not to try and convince people these four games are equal, it was to provide a jumping on point for the franchise because a new console is out, and Halo 5 is coming soon. It allows fans who maybe didn't get a chance to play all the main Halo games the ability to do so. It brings a vast and epic space opera, where most gamers would not go out of their ways to play all of them, together.

In fact, the what Microsoft says is about as logical as the idiot Halo extremists who were complaining that Halo 4 is in the MCC. Like holy shit, you actually are asking for less content in a game want to undermine what the MCC sets out to do? /mini rant

Next though we have the fact that Halo 2 is a winy little kid, and Halo 3 is the wise grizzled agent. Which makes no sense at all because not only did Halo 2 come out before Halo 3, but Halo 3 is a mess of a game that failed in nearly everything it set out to do. Inconsistent gunplay, illogical campy story, lazy animations (apparently Brute Power Armor is actually paper mache that atomizes when coming into contact with bullets, rigor mortis also appears to set in as soon as your vehicle hits a Covenant), and noobified enemies.

Halo 2 on the other hand should be older and more wise. At the same time tough, it should be paralyzed for the fact that a third of the game is missing, and that it has aim assist out the wazoo. And despite this, it still manages to be a better game than Halo 3.

In conclusion on that aspect, the Halo that consoles Halo 4 on top of the base should have been Halo CE.

Lastly, on the topic of Halo 5's portrayal as being an aborted fetus begging to be killed. That makes no sense for the fact that Halo 5 is going to be Halo's first equal starts arena shooter in 5 goddamn years. Not just that, but it's being designed with competitive aspects in mind, and the reticle screen position is going back to the center of the screen, which is the first time it's been like that in 14 years. Also, Halo 5 is going to have a legit beta that isn't a thinly disguised marketing ploy. Of course, the game is a year out, and it may turn out to be total shit, but right now, things are looking up.

And that's why this piece of satire is not true at all.

Needless to say, that doesn't detract from how entertaining it was.
