Been 12 years since we finished the fight, and the series was over forever.

You blaspheme.

The series was over forever the moment the visor cracked.

Isn’t that technically when it started?

better than almost any montage you'd see of current games.

I'm sure technical obstacles abound, but dammit, I miss films. I think the cost of development is justified, especially now, in the youtube era, because you're essentially outsourcing marketing to all the talent in the world for the life of your game. I like to think that there is someone at Bungie arguing this point strenuously at every opportunity.
