I have a theory.
To start; Halo, as a series is, to me, without question the absolute greatest video game series I have ever played. I bought my first xbox when I was about 8 years old, but when my brother bought Halo 2, I played that game more times than I cared to count until my hands could actually hit all the buttons on the controller and I had memorized where all the enemies spawned in, lob a grenade, and take them out before they could fire. I spent the night after grade 8 ended playing Halo: Reach until 5am, then continued to play it after a much needed power nap. I stole my friends copy of Halo 3: ODST, never returned it, just so I could discover more about the Halo universe. Halo 4
