: 1. A lot of posters here, and those who have left, cite a feeling of being
: "burned out" on Halo. Question: how much of this fatigue was
: avoidable, or could have been avoided with different decisions/directions
: on the part of 343i?
I'm not buying that it's even fatigue. Sounds like an excuse. I personally quite enjoy playing Halo. The community nights have made me realize that Reach just isn't doing it as much for me, H4 can be very fun in a large group of friends, and H3 still has plenty of magic to it (even with its busted latency/host/lag issues). I think the problem is H4, not a tiring of Halo. But that's just my opinion, of course.
: 2. As I mentioned above (albeit with no factual evidence), 343i has
: "lost" HBO. Questions: (a) what other "hardcore" fan
: sites/elements, if any, have spawned or grown in the post-H4 era? (b) what
: communities have the same level of interaction/closeness with 343i that
: HBO used to have with Bungie? (c) If the answers to the previous two
: questions are in the negative, is there something specific about Halo 4
: that has suppressed (or failed to create an environment that generates)
: passionate fan interest?
a. GrifBall I think? Dunno.
b. Uhhh. Does GAF count? I don't know if it's the same level of interaction, and I wouldn't call it closeness, but they seem to like posting at GAF.
c. Blunders.
: 3. 343i doesn't come around here very often. Question: how much of this do
: you think is a result of 343i taking a different direction with respect to
: HBO/fan communities in general, and how much is due to HBO being an
: unwelcoming and sometimes hostile environment for them?
HBO may be unwelcoming and hostile, but oh my gosh, you have got to read GAF. If HBO is hostile, well, I'm not going to take the time to figure out a word for GAF to H4/343 by comparison to us being "hostile" or whatever.
: 4. How much money would you pay to see videos of Nart and me playing H4
: doubles with wacky self-imposed rules (ala HALOcapping)?
None. I don't think it'd be very amusing in H4. Maybe for Reach or H3 though.
