Halo has been going down ever since the release of ODST. Halo 2 and 3, in my opinion, were masterpieces. They tried to change things up too much in Reach. All of the powerups made Halo feel cheap to me. I did not like the Bloom, and all of the maps were ugly and boring. I miss the colorful maps of Halo 3. They had a fair mix of well balanced maps like Guardian and The Pit along with some more fun maps like High Ground.
