As soon as MS said that they kept the rights to Halo I assumed that we'd start getting yearly entries like CoD. Bungie made Halo, I'm not planning on caring for the rest of the Halos.

I honestly don't know where I am in that. I really enjoyed Halo, H2, H3, and ODST, but felt like I had played an awful lot of Halo by the time Reach was being made. I was never really excited for Reach, not only because I was afraid it would be more of the same, but the whole prequel storyline didn't seem the least bit interesting to me.

I ended up buying Reach after reading some good reviews and finding it at a discount price shortly after its release. And I ended up not caring too much for it. Yet, while none of the Reach trailers sparked the least bit of interest in me, that Halo 4 teaser has me kind of looking forward to Halo 4. Maybe if different people are making it, it will actually turn out different. Halo's biggest problem was that it was a really, really good game, but it never did much growing and maturing; instead it just kind of remained the exact same game with very minor tweaks each installment. An actual evolving Halo franchise would be great, it is almost shocking to consider how little things have changed between Halo:CE and Halo: Reach. Board games have typically evolved faster than the Halo franchise.
