"Whether or not we like 343 Industries, we have to accept that we simply cannot remain on the same track as they do."

I don't like separating from a part of what's considered canon. I really don't. But like Maslab said, we'll do our best to work with what we can and cut our losses where we can't. Whether or not we like 343 Industries has become irrelevant. I simply wanted to make it clear that while there's no love lost between them and myself, I would never make a decision like this out of frustration.

My opinion of them has been negative ever since Legends came out, and although it has improved somewhat in the years since then, I would have had plenty of chances to pull the plug. But I didn't until now, for the reasons stated above. I already know Halo 4 is not going to work with AAO, which means neither will the sequels. Whatever else 343 Industries releases may or may not cooperate with us, but I'm going to reserve judgment until I have to make a decision. That's all there is to it.
