I know and that is exactly what I DON'T want it to be. My post is in jest. It would be boring as hell. Halo was at it's best for me when there wasn't one gun to rule them all, like the BR.

Which is why Halo Reach is best Halo.

Reach is my deserted island Halo. Gameplay-wise, it has the most variety, and for the most part it is a greatest hits package of the best of the other Halos--it's a culmination of everything Bungie learned.

I even liked the (much maligned by loud people on the internet) story--the cracked visor gets me every time. I never forget how I felt when I first played that last level, when I realized that there would be no more respawns and this life was all I had. It was genius--it underscored the gritty realism of the game--something less prevalent in previous Halos--and was a fitting way for Bungie to say goodbye to the series.
