To me it appears a bit surreal, but consider that this is a new trilogy (Halo 4-5-6), the Forerunner's trilogy, so expect things will change from the classic trilogy.
If this game would be created by Bungie, I would cry, Bungie ruined Halo with Reach.
Now, a lot of people is scared by change, but it's obvious that is impossible to make happy ALL gamers.
Take for example this situations:
I betray one person accidentaly, he boots me.
Next game: Someone betrays me 4 times, I betray him 1 time, I get booted.
The Bungie's booting system is the worst system ever created on Earth...
