Well...this is it. Thanks, but goodbye.

I know that I've not been at HaloMods for a while now. The site hasn't really had any interesting news, and I've found a new community anyway. I'm now officially leaving HaloMods. And before those sad individuals with egos a little too big start trying to flame me, there's a good reason for this.
Whilst a lot of you may have - for some very strange reason - stayed loyal to Halo...I haven't. I now hate Bungie's guts. Here are the three crises...
- Whilst Halo 2's Multiplayer was good, the Campaign deviated too much from the original plot, and the storyline was destroyed. Whilst this wasn't sufficient enough to kill Halo for me, it was still greatly damaging. I guess this was a bit like being kicked in the nads.
- The 'Halo: The Movie' announcement. This was totally devastating to me. I absolutely loved the original Halo and its story; I was introduced one of greatest Sci-fi universes. I thought that the franchise possibly couldn't go any more mainstream, but with this announcement, I was wrong. It was like being shot in the face.
- The very worst of all, however, was the inclusion of...this 'Spartan', Nicole, in the Xbox 360's Dead or Alive 4. Good God! This really was the final nail in the coffin for me. They absolutely massacred Halo's story with this by introducing a STUPID story for this character, where she travels back in time in some magical slipspace bubble and then decides to beat up big-breasted ladies when she reaches a world with no war. Not only that, but I've heard that when she wins, she speaks like a brat, says 'that's what it's like to be beaten up by a girl'. Yeah, this was the finisher.
--
So yeah, whilst my time in Halo is over for good (I refuse to play anything Halo again), I'd like to say that I've met some good friends here, and I'd like to thank all of you who were my friends for the time I've been here. I was actually continuing my fangame, 'Halo: The Fall of Reach', but it has been canned, due to Bungie's ignorance towards their fans. I've gotta say that I'm really sorry to Xavier and his parents. I got quite far on the cel-shade port to the Xbox, but it has too been canned because of those backstabbing bastards. They ruined a perfectly good game franchise. But anyway, thanks. I'd also like to thank Grenadiac for creating this community. I've had fun times here. Good luck to you Grenadiac, in your future projects. I hope you code an emulator someday, which you envied ViperNeo for. And good luck to everyone else! I might reply in this thread to people's comments, but otherwise, I'm gone!
