Maxmidget in the HBO forum noticed a flurry of activity at IGN over Halo recently. After coverage of the new Bungie.net site, their mailbag feature included a fan letter criticizing Halo, which has now spawned a special Halo mailbag feature with fans of the game writing in to defend it.

Does a game with as many awards, accolades and sales as Halo need to be defended? Perhaps not, but that isn't stopping anyone.
