No to evolution. We are actually stepping backwards. There was a time where gameplay could be fun for the casual player and for the competitive gamer. What has happened is though, is that all those casual gamers that bemoaned and whined at any point they lost a game in Halo slowly but surely began to get their way. Now you have maps that house completely randomized spawns, weapons that spawn at random times, random ordinance drops, Xp you get for just breathing on your controller, skill ranks that no one can see because their sensibilities might be offended, you are thrown into games where the match is already halfway through and forced to start imbalanced matches.
So basically, all the games don't matter now. There is no incentive to try and no incentive to ever stay in a game. You have a community of players who like yourself, who are content with running into each other and trading kills mindlessly. These players never improve, never develop the game into anything with depth beyond "I GOT 900 HELMETS AND 100 ACHIEVEMENTS WOOO". Everything is slowly becoming shallow, undeserved and cheap.
We know what we like, but ultimately the competitive community is being forced out of the newer games. Additionally your post is extremely ignorant and uninformed. I paid 80$+ Halo4, but what I got is Halo Party. I'm entitled to my opinion and "shut up and take it" is not what I'm going to do.

I looked you up by the way. 3 hours of gametime in customs with slightly over a 1.0 K/D. Ranked playlists you are only a 56SR with 1.3K killed. You are NOT active on game battles with these stats, and you certainly aren't a ladder champion. That said, the fact that there are multiple posts on this forum about the CSR is a sign that something should be addressed here. If you notice the posts about the Skill Rankings, they are often well informed and passionate write ups about what's missing in their absence. Then someone like yourself, fabricates a reality that he is living in and dismisses the need without a shred of logic. People like you, the players that spend a majority of their free time on boards pretending to be subject matter experts on Halo is what is destroying the game. More and more competitive gamers are coming to boards to vent their frustration and quite frankly I won't be surprised when a majority of them just say "ah ef it.". There is a lot of closed minded people in the gaming community more than ever and it's ruining something that was once special.
