: Not being a sourpuss here, but objectively comparing the quality of what we

: done with Halo, these Escalation issues are either THE weakest links, or
: they're close to it. How does that make sense? Halo's made MORE money
: since then, not less.
: I am truly confused as to how and why this is being done the way that it is.
: I fail to see how "Escalation" is benefitting Halo at this point in

: *shrugs*
I could not agree more.
Reading the preview I'm left wondering just what the hell happened to the Halo I used to know and love. The morally muddy and technical military science fiction of old has been replaced with campy, rushed assembly-line plotlines and characterizations with all the complexity of He-Man or Captain Planet. Characters from past fiction are butchered as nothing more than a footnote. The Didact might as well be a parody of a cartoon villain and I wouldn't know the difference: I fully expect him to go "I'll get you next time you pesky Spartans!" after they inevitably foil his evil plan.
I guess Halo is finally becoming what its detractors have made it out to be for a long time now. And when you comfort yourself thinking this is just a comic and things are going to get better, just remember that the person who wrote this is the lead writer at 343. I say that again because it bears repeating: the guy who wrote this is not a 14-year old taking his first stab at fan fiction, it's someone who's in charge of the writing of a multi-billion-dollar multimedia franchise.
