Myself, I am here on the forums, killing time, because I have already completed my Spartan Ops weekly challenges, my matchmaking weekly challenges and my dailies, as well as played about ten games on matchmaking. I'm close to being exp capped for today, but I want to keep playing. I have the day off from work today, but I want to play with my friends tonight and ENJOY myself. I enjoy myself when I get exp. Not when I complete commendations and challenges, and not get exp for them. That pisses me off. So instead, I'm being punished by not playing the game.

What 343 did was a smart move. With many games, such as World of Warcraft for the PC the game servers go down every Tuesday for maintinance to add new features and fix bugs, etc. During this 30m-10h downtime, ALL servers are unplayable. So when 343 brought the servers down to fix some bugs, and add the new playlist, they set up the temporary servers for people to play on. Sure, you can't earn xp on your actual account, but it still gives you the chance to play. Now ask yourself this, would you rather not be able to play at all, or would you rather play on a temporary online profile for the time being?
