First of all I am 43. Not some whiney assed teenager, or young child with nothing better to do.
I have played Halo from the beginning, and never before has there been this xp cap/specialization lock. In less than a month (cause Legendary is way too easy) I have cleared the campaign, cleared spartan ops (up to this point), and reached level 70 only to find out that after paying 60 bucks for HALO 4, and buying a map pack (cause I have always bought every map pack) that all of that money was wasted due to some arrogant geek sitting behind a computer trying to figure out better ways to enforce greed upon the customers. Now I am stuck while my xbox live account timer is ticking away, till a ¨patch¨ is written to ¨fix¨ a problem that shouldnt have even been written into the program! So as of this posting I will have a full month of xbox live account time before 343 will have this patched. (or so they say) I can only think that there will be a whole NEW level when HALO 5 comes out, and am starting to have serious reservations about whether or not to buy that one when it comes out. Or to even buy the new xbox 720. (we have 5 xbox 360s in this household, REACH, MW3, H4, and two plain ones) HALO is supposed to be the flagship game of xbox, NOT the game that eventually causes its downfall. At the time of this posting it appears to me that xbox giving HALO to 343 is like a corvette being given to a 5yr old. All they can do is wreck it.
How about we fire whoever came up with the following ideas, and give raises to whomever can fix 343 employees have made so far.
1. Whoever came up with throwing the damned oddball.
2. Whoever had absolutely NO imagination when they designed the armor.
3. Whoever came up with the specializations idea.
4. Whoever made Legendary so easy that a child could beat it within a 12 hour period.
Even without the REAL WORLD way of saying it, number 5s skulls looking like they were drawn on with a crayon remains.
