Rights?! Good lord boy where did you go to school? You don't even have a right to an xbox or a video game let alone rights to a cosmetic choice in one particular video game; you are only fortunate to have these privileges.

Bombardment incoming: You said, and I quote "what matters is entirely subjective". Even if you meant this purely with regards to Halo 4, your still completely up a tree. Saying what matters is entirely subjective basically says "the elements that are important to Halo being good" are completely subjective. That Halo being "good" or not is completely subjective. But this obviously doesn't hold true...if someone refused to buy Halo 3 because they didn't like the color of the traffic cones on Rats Nest they are making a absolute mistake. Do I say that subjectively? Of course, its my subjective opinion but its one based on a completely objective standard which most of us share. If the traffic cone does not matter objectively that disproves that not everything that "really matters" is subjective. Objectively and absolutely, what really matters excludes traffic cone color (unless Bungie had decided to make them epileptic seizure inducing strobes lol) and thus what really matters is not entirely subjective. This same logic can be extrapolated to what Mr.Elite whats his face thinks and says since his opinions are only a matter of degrees difference away from the traffic cone analogy. We can have the argument "does this cosmetic choice matter" or not, but the instant you decide to argue one way or another on that, you admit that there is an objective truth about that issue. We cannot both be right so either one of us is right or both of us are wrong, in accordance with an objective standard which exists quite independent of our subjective opinions. Not all arguments are like that, as we both agreed (and I never denied) and We have different opinions of course; we all interpret that objective standard subjectively in cases which are more complex than the aforementioned traffic cone, but the fact is Traffic cone color does not equal game breaking flaw. This is an objective reality as well as my subjective opinion. If your going to deny that, I'm not going to argue anymore because your simply too dense. But I suspect your not going to deny that. Opinions, arguments, etc. are subjective simply because we are stupid and have flawed judgement; we are imperfect,and to a certain extent evil little creatures in the scope of the Universe. When we form the wrong opinions and f' up our perception of the objective standard, that is our fault and its completely internal. Our opinions of what matter are subjective, but they can be right, and they can be wrong, because what actually does matter is distinct from what we think, and what actually does matter is objective.

Wth does that even mean? If someone is a rabid anti semite or a racist or a terrorist, do I not get to judge that behavior as stupid? So tired of hearing how we can't judge people. When someone is roleplaying out fictional aliens...he/she has a problem.

You speak the truth sir!

Imma make sure to sing Ive got a golden beta when it get in. Then promptly get co-opted by an activation employee to betray 343s secrets. Then it turns out at the end of the beta that the activation employee was a plot by 343 to see who the devoted fans are...then those fans go on to take over the company. Frankie is Willy Wonka.

Pfft...whatevs homie. I remain technically correct.

Yeah but who knows if Grenades are part of the loadout or not? Since loadouts are in, its okay to have somewhat redundant Grenade types now with subtle differences so I say, the more grenade types the better. Stickys, Incends, Frags, Spikes...sounds good to me.

External armor which includes armor should actually be usable...if you get a hard achievement with a certain weapon, purchase the piece, get a small amount of additional ammo in game. Also, more pieces of Armor should be customizable, in particularly boots and hands.

One thing I hope is that he doesn't take the best of this music and layer a whole lot of stuff on top of it. Having just the violins and just the chanting with little to no other stuff is much more effective IMO. When he needs complex, keep it with the electronic and the heavy action, but keep the emotional and main themes simple and hard hitting.

You said Multiplayer. Halo 1 had multiplayer, maybe not matchmaking but multiplayer nonetheless. And Halo PC was a full on multiplayer suite for connecting to people's servers. You didn't specify "matchmaking". If you had youd be right.

I just want a system back where by me and my bud will say "oh sh!t" when we get matched with a max rank in doubles...being matchmade with a max rank in Reach is much less dramatic than Halo 3.

Good to hear they are having some sort of Beta...Beta's are only good for fixing balance issues and glitches. It can't save games from the kind of mistakes that Bungie made with AA's in Reach. So as long as they are doing some good quality control in house should be fine.

Reach Banshee: Op most of the time, severely Underpowered when it reaches the end of its time.

Stop being a ****. Also, Halo 1 had multiplayer without elites, even moreso if you count Halo for the PC. Considering ODST and Reach, you only have two Halo games with Elites.

343 probably didnt want to devote the time making a comparable set of cosmetic armor for the Elites. Simply a matter of production. Its a hard choice for them, but it probably came down to the fact that most people dont use Elites and don't care.

Larger Scale campaign battles and large scale MP battles...Forgeable AI, Music, Skyboxes, Weather, Text Based objective markers, etc etc. and ability to mix Movie clips with Forge maps to make their own missions. Better Music courtesy of Mr.Davidge.

If it was overpowered before, thats when you nerf it. Not completely remove it.

I liked the samples they released but this stuff sounds way better. Also 0:0 to 0:17 in the main video...that is definitely a new version of one of the themes in Halo 3, I believe its in the second or third track. When Sgt. Johnson finds the Chief. Good to see that the old stuff still has a bit of a foothold here. Also good to see how Davidge sounds really different from Marty but at the same time exactly like Marty. I'm loving it. Thats what I hope Halo 4 is, incredibly different, incredibly the same.

Its odd how, beacuse you can kill vehicles with the DMR easily in Reach, the banshee often feels underpowered, than at other times, it feels completely OP beacuse you have the right map and someone who manuevers literally every second. They should have limited to manuevering not the boost.

I wouldnt bet for any increase in Game size until the next xbox comes out...then you could easily see 12 v. 12 or larger in Halo.

Having many different varieties of Grenades would seem like a prudent thing to do considering we need to be buying loadouts now...so now we need all those weapons which might have been taken out in the past for seeming redundant. I'd like to see a return of the fire grenades.

Thats good to hear. Honestly, I'm on your side , sorta, seeing as how I'm an Elite player as well.

Do you think the real tangible world is subjective, or just our perceptions and opinions of it? Is there such a thing as objective and solid truth? Seems simple enough.

Ahh, infinite Rockets on either side of your prowler on the Ark. Death machine right there.

Gotta die someday right?
