Let me get this straight, what game EVER has been absolutely perfect that no one can criticise about it?....hm..let me think, oh that's right, there HASN'T been any game like that.
Exactly what SJ said, if it doesn't evolve, it will die, Halo CE to Halo 2 had massive changes people loved them, so why wont anyone love this new Halo, but in essence, 343i are a smart, talented group of people and wont throw a game franchise as successful as it is away. stop complaining armour abilities, if anything i think they improve the game and separate the pros to the noobs, people who can adapt to their environment are better players than those who cant and complain about how others play instead of changing themselves.
Halo: Reach wasn't a failure either, infact It was the best game to the series, look at the sales, look at how many people play it, this obviously mean that the majority LIKE it, not like your stupid sentence saying everyone hated it. Don't go around saying how much of a fail this game is when it IS the most successful game in the franchise. Why do you think the Machinima still continue it with the top ten series, Arby 'n' the Chief, Roosterteeth's RVB, gamefails/fails of the weak, Game night and many more.
I dont know why you came out with these ridiculous arguments and said they were true when the fact is, you're wrong!
Good day.
