I find it hilarious that the two most outspoken anti-360/Pro-PS3 posters on the board are the most out spoken anti Halo (Slip and Blunt) Not surprised in the slightest though.

A game can't really be "overrated" if someone thinks Halo is the best game ever they aren't wrong, it is the best game ever to them. I think the Halo series is one of best FPS series out there, not my personal all time favorite (That spot now belongs to Bioshock, it was Doom 3)

This is the end of THIS storyline arc. It's not the end of the Halo franchise. We have Halo Wars coming out in the future (strategy game) and I imagine there will be other Halo FPS games in the future but I do believe it will be a whole new storyline arc, a whole new adventure for Master Chief.

So yes this is the end of Halo as we know it, but not Halo in general.
