What are Microsoft doing to Halo?

[Kantor]

I am objecting to the fact that they are releasing an expansion and two games in the same year.

Also, @SHMUPGurus, those are from three different series and two different developers. I mean, I would have no objection if they were timing this right, but two new games and an expansion being released at the same time just seems over the top.

And these are all spin-offs. None of them feature Master Chief, without whom Halo is really nothing, making them truly entirely different games with the magical four letters added on.

So here we are: Halo without Bungie, without Master Chief, without run and gun action.

Two different spin offs to Halo in 2 different genres.

I guess Metal Gear kind of did this with Metal Gear Acid, but I found that pretty annoying too, especially since it was such a failure.

Note: I am partly annoyed because Sony has yet to announce anything important at TGS. Well, the main conference hasn't happened yet, so hopefully something will turn up to counter all of these "Microsoft has won TGS" arguments
