I will agree halo was different back in Ce halo 2/3, but Halo 4 did better job than reach to bring competitive old school players and new. Also if a game doesn't bring in new players, it would crash.
Not really, one map can't change how MLG is played.
I agree with Astora, the ability to turn of sprint would be awesome. I also think you should be able to drop flag.
I rarely see binary rifles in the game. Anyways the red line of sight is easy to avoid. The SAW is fine how it is. I can agree on the boltshot, a secondary weapon should not 1 shot kill.
