I'm not sure if I could say I'm "burned out" on Halo, having had little to do with it for months. Most of my issues stem from 343i themselves, largely in the visuals, and the people writing SpOps. Actually, SpartanFight in general strikes me as poor. Could have just made a CGI series out of it and saved themselves the hassle. I'm a lore man, so lore is what I try to pay attention to.
: 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?
No idea, but I have noticed that 343 doesn't come around this neighborhood. Of course, I barely see them on their own site, but whatever. In relation to other sites, I think it's stayed roughly the same. MLG may not do Halo anymore, but it was picked up by others for tournaments, and I know a clan that no longer plays Halo. Anything related to custom games and Forge probably took a hit with 343i not having much of the basic Forge/Custom functionality that Reach had, and the loss of Theater in Campaign is definitely felt.
: 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?
They must have shifted focus to their own site/NeoGAF. As for HBO being "unwelcoming," their own forums can be an even bigger cesspit, just like the Bungie forums were. I wouldn't be totally surprised if they just didn't read forums at all, or browsed only rarely.
: 4. How much money would you pay to see videos of Nart and me playing H4
: doubles with wacky self-imposed rules (ala HALOcapping)?
I don't know who that is or what you're talking about.
