Please 343 dont turn halo in to COD!!!!
One of the things i've always loved about halo is the fact that everyone has the same chances in every game to win or to fail. Yes styles of play do differ but why reward some one just cuz they have played a million games with better weapons or abilities over the guy who just started? The skill differences should be evident but why should the vetern have any other advantage? I've been an fan since Halo ce and played everything in between. I still play Reach even though so many things are wrong with it (bloom halo is not a tom clancy game). I use to play everynite and was pretty good. I also work 40 hrs a week. I have a friend who lives on reach now and for the record is Bad, but he's an inheritor now. If we played i would dominate him from raw ability. Why should he have an advantage just cuz he has no life? If this was a role playing game where lvl's and such made a difference i would never complain, but halo is the same whether you play once a week or 12 hrs a day. Giving different armor and looks for your player is totally ok but why change the most important aspect of the game which is the game play itself.
To sum up how to make the majority of people i know happy. Ditch Bloom!!!, fix rating systems, no cod style the more you play rewards for bad people with no lives, and dont fix what isn't boken. You don't have to re invent the wheel everytime. Halo players come back to play halo, not halo trying to be COD. If we wanted that kind of game we wouldnt keep buying halo.
