Again I must take issue with the word "milking" and Halo. The period between Halo 4 and 5 is 3 years. That is 3 years. Anything in between, especially when considering MCC, is purely fan service. The gap between all major Halo releases, except Halo 4 after Reach, is 3 years.

If the quality is there.....why would you complain about getting quality milk? Milk is expensive and MS is giving you milk. Take the milk.

We get it.  You like Halo.  Good for you!  But contrary to your opinion, it IS being milked.  It's YEARS past it's expiration date, and the only reason it's on life support is because without it, MS has no major franchises to help sell their underperforming box.  Halo is kinda like Star Trek, after Roddenberry died.  They keep pumping out TV shows and movies, because it makes money, NOT because there is any creative passion in the producers.

I have to agree with Sales on this one, I do not think Halo is being milked.  When I think of milked, I think of guitar hero, call of duty, battlefield, etc.  Stuff that you see a new main entry in every year (or in the case of guitar hero, every few months, which is why it isn't around anymore...).  Halo has large gaps between it's main games.  If you think Halo is milked then you probably think every established gaming franchise is milked...
