@Aleksandr the Great: By the sounds of it, the Forerunner Saga was at least in part set-up for Halo 4, so I'm not sure how much it proves your point.

However, my point isn't that Halo 4 will be bad. In fact, I'd say I'm pretty optimistic about it. However, it's still an example of a series being continued past its intended ending point. Regardless of quality, I'd rather not see that happen to Mass Effect; better to launch a brand new franchise then keep dragging an old one along.
