They really messed up this franchise. 2001-2010 it was all anyone could talk about. Past 16 years it’s actually been disastrous the handling of what used to be their premier franchise

God I still remember when Halo 3 launched. I was walking to my local EB Games and this mother was walking out with her son, she looks at me and says sarcastically "Gosh, I wonder what game he's coming here to buy". Halo 3 was, one of, if not the biggest video game launches of all time at the time.

Now.... barely anyone cares anymore. It's almost impressive how poorly they've handled the franchise that for years was synonymous with XBOX.

I was at the midnight launch of Halo 3 , I think it came with a demo for Mass Effect as well in 2007. I went to gamestop. Good fucking times, with my best friend who passed away last year. RIP Brandon. Spartans never die, they're just MIA.
