Equipment didnt ruin h3 in any way, it didnt really get used anyway unless it was a drop sheild or a regenerator, and armor abilites changed the formula of halo and thats why so many people are against it, idk if you even know just exactly HOW MANY people played halo befroe reach, h2 was like 500000 and up for the longest time, h3 had a steady million until the release of CoD4 and still almost two years later it had 300000 people online every day, know look at reach, hasnt even been out for a year yet and barley breaks 150000 even on the weekends, shouldnt that tell you something?
