I agree with you one hundred pecrcent.
You know Reach was a huge leap and everone hated it but now that halo 4 is out its magically a great game now because its something we are use to. I think this will be the same for the up coming halos but I honestly think that the people that complained about it are still playing halo 4. People just have to except change thats all but thats something that has escaped humanity forever so it will be hard.
Great post by the way!
