I know there's great loyalty to Halo. But I wonder if some people might take a wait and see approach to Halo 4 because it's not Bungie. Everyone knows when a game, or movie franchise gets handed off to someone else to carry on the quality can suffer, and sometimes it can suffer badly.
I'm not saying this will happen here, and of course the stuff that's been shown looks impressive. But there's always a risk that a new studio takes something precious and they just don't get what made it so precious, so they produce all the right widgets but the heart goes out of the franchise. Hopefully this isn't Halo 4's fate, but it's happened so much in the past that it's got to be going through some people's minds as a possibility.
I sure know I'd be worried if Uncharted 4 got handed off to a studio other than Naughty Dog.
