Thanks for the info.

Defiantly BR, so excited to use that gun again. I'll also use the Carbine a little bit as well. As for the graphics they seem to be quite good from what I've seen so far.

I'm an avid player of Gears of War been playing it for over 5 years now. Even though they added dedicated servers to it there are still many connection and registration issues with the game. Putting in servers in my opinion does not fix all the issues, sure it will make the game more consistent and help those players that have poor connections but let me tell you it does not solve every issue.

Same here although, having it visible does have players playing in odd ways sometimes. Like boosting or making new accounts and such. In my opinion as long as it's there, it should be fine. As long as I'm paired up against players that will give me a challenge I'll be happy. On a side note how does this matchmaking system work with a party? If you have yourself and 3 other players does the game try to match up players to similar skill of just the host or all the players in the lobby?

Without a doubt, multiplayer. That being said I'm still very excited for campaign. Also spartan ops looks pretty damn cool and if not anything else innovative. Oh and of coarse the BR, can't wait to use it again. I have to disagree, I know countless people that have spent hours even days creating something. Taking out forge sounds like a step back for the franchise.

I'd prefer to have both, although if I only had to choose 1 it would be skill over progression.

I didn't like the community forge maps, or any maps created with forge in Halo Reach. That being said I'm still hoping maps made with forge can be just as good as the normal developer created maps.

Personally I would prefer to see skill more of a skill ranking system, similar to Halo 3. But who knows this might be just as good. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
