well if you see it from that light, your right...kind off, i mean well your opinion is your opinion...but microsoft and xbox bring memories of microsoft renigging a deal with sony and getting ace combat 6 on 360, and no notable games for ps2....also in response to halo franchise in general...look at halflife, or counterstrike...if i wanted to get a game strictly for MP i would just play counterstrike, teamfortess 2 or something like that...i mean seriously with a price tag like the halo games had, ranting and raving about how great the story line was kind of kills it
