The Halo franchise aint what it used to be....aint what it used to be....aint what it used to be...

I bought my Xbox with Halo and it was glorious.  Halo 2 followed and it was very validating.  I became nostalgic years later when I saw youtube clips of Halo 3 so I picked up a 360 to play it and then eventually spent hours and hours playing multiplayer on Reach.  The action was always good as gameplay is what sold me on these games.  There was a disturbing trend to listen to the MLG folks and people who wanted a faster experience.  Now that might be fun for some, but it wasn't fun for me.  Is that what the majority wants?  Is that where this franchise is destined?  Perhaps the people making creative decisions are too close to the people who are keeping the books.
