A couple of points I must address.

--If you watch everything including the stuff at the end of Halo 3 you will realize that the Story is in fact not wrapped up nicely.

--The vast majority of Halo fans are in their teens. 14-22 is probably Halo's biggest fanbase.

--Milking is irrelevent unless the quality gets horrible or they release 2-3 games every single year.

 

As long as Halo's quality stays high then I say bring on the yearly releases!

I haven't actually played Halo 3 yet, I didn't have an XBOX when it released and I haven't had chance to come back to it yet, I will in the coming months though. I was just going on what other people and my friends have said about the game and I played some of the final missions round a friends house.

That sounds like the right demographic. I wasn't using age as a way to insult the game, I was just pointing out that the game had a huge following amongst younger people, younger people are far more likely to be loyal to the franchise.

And for the last part, I don't agree with that, they need to release games in moderation. Annual releases will guaruntee that the game would be a lower quality than if they spent 2 years or so on development of the game. When Microsoft announced 4 games in one conference, it really did make it look as if they were only in it for the money. There are just far too many Halo games.

Anyway, I hope for the sake of the fans that the quality of the franchise remains high, but I wouldn't expect too much.

It seems Halo fans are taking this "milking" discussion as a direct dig at the franchise and they are starting to act very unreasonable and over-defensive. I would also like to point out that budget ports or handheld games are not retail releases, if you are going to argue, at least do it right.


@ Bolded: Unless its called Duke Nukem Forever. ROFL.

Just so everyone knows. Halo 4 - 6 is taking 10 years. According to 343. Halo 4 will have taken 3 years by its release date.
