To be fair Emo Kitten, it it intensifies custom games, then you'r argument is invalid, since custom games is still using the exact mechanics as matchmaking, you can just change a few of the variables to change the game a tiny bit. If they're good for custom games, they're good for multiplayer.
actually, for all you guys' information, Onyx was, other than a 6-foot sphere, made up of Sentinals with a natural cover of soil, rock and water, complete with vegetation and wildlife. It DID break apart, but only into TRILLIONS of Sentinals.
Definitely a great story, the ability to lower weapons in matchmaking/XBL custom games for machinema purposes, more customisation for Forge (mechanics same as Reach). After those, I'm happy.
