I am so tired of that phrase I can't see straight.
Back to the OP.
We do see things from your perspective, but it doesn't mean we have to agree with them. You say "who needs" (should be who *wants*) the MCC, yet a heavy number of people everywhere are ecstatic about it's release, so apparently someone needs/wants it. I'll agree that releasing special edition and pre-order stuff later for everyone really defeats the purpose of making it pre-order and special edition content. If it's going to be special, let it stay special. For recon, if you REALLY wanted it that bad, you would have had it by the time they released it to everyone. If you were mad because you received it the original way and then they gave it to everyone, you shouldn't be dwelling on it. It's a piece of in game armor. Nothing more.
I hope they do make pre-order bonuses a little better. I liked Halo 4's pre-order bonus. Honestly you shouldn't be wasting time on the games pre-order and special edition bonuses when it's the actually game you should be worried about. (If you are worried.)
