And how do you suggest Halo wrangles those people back while not pissing off the current Halo community?

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Nice try, but your "birdie" doesn't know what they're talking about.
Can't wait to share what we've been working on with the rest of the world. Be patient.
Hype is reaching critical mass

Nice try at what?
I'm glad you're shutting me up about this. Looking forward to finally seeing something.

CONFIRMED: Birdies have been cut from Halo 4.
It's the Reach critter-pocalypse all over again.

Size of team does not guarantee smoothness of development process nor does it guarantee quality of title.
When communities reach the point of questioning whether their game is dying I usually just ignore the issue until the fear passes, but with Halo there are clear indicators that it is no longer the lead FPS on a console in terms of both popularity and polish.
There are also clear indicators that it is not the second, third, or fourth FPS on a console. It doesn't need to be popular to be fun but it does need to be good. Right now it is neither as popular nor as good as it has been in the past. And that worries me.
At certain times of the day, in the Reach playlists that I enjoy, it is hard for me to get games with consistently good hosts.
For months this game has been plagued by quitters. The best deterrent for quitting is making a game that is fun and NOT frustrating.
I can overlook a low map count. I can overlook some bugs. I can overlook minor annoyances caused by bloom and AA's. I can overlook frame rate issues. I can overlook slow playlist updates. I can't overlook half of my games having crappy hosts or quitters.
Popularity and quality are not always connected but based on my recent experiences with Reach, they are.
Save us Frankie.
EDIT:
Was frantically writing that wild-eyed manifesto while Ellis was busy actually putting some of my fears to rest. Thanks Ellis. And thanks for wishing Jeff Green well the other day. That was a classy move.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is revealing Halo 4 for all to hear.

What are you even trying to argue aymore kyle? That hardcore competitive Halo players are the guys who used to play? If so, doesn't that feed into the idea that MLG is dying a slow death?
I don't even care about MLG at all. How was this not clear from every post? You said it yourself when you tried to put me down.
Other games are more popular... Good for them. I'll still have fun playing Reach. If MLG wants to try and make Reach better for them, then all the power to them too!

Aaah ok, cuz I was reading it like this;
"The hardcore competitive Halo player isn't the one buying millions of copies of COD and Battlefield. The hardcore competitive Halo player's the guys who used to play Halo."

Do you think there's a bet going between Frankie and Ellis on who can get their face on the most GAF avatars?
I hope so.

We'll see what happens when Halo 4 is coming out and HaloGAF gets/updates with Halo 4 style avatars. I think mine was Kat for Reach lol. We all had ODST helmets back when ODST came out, that was pretty cool.

Appropriate that you had Kat,
the character who could've most benefitted from bloom (well, on her opponent's reticle at least)
EDIT:
Just after posting that I realized that bloom is preparing an entire generation for drinking. As the frequency of your shot-taking increases, so too does the attractiveness of the people at the bar around you. Bloom = Beer Goggles.

If anyone here has an HBO account and still needs the Anniversary map pack, I think this thread should help. I get the impression that Wu still has one more code...
