I am disappointed to announce my resignation to the halo legacy. I have played halo for 11 years, and have contributed so much to the halo community as far as competitive gaming goes. In halo reach we were introduced to a true competitive platform called arena. Although many disliked arena, it was because they reached a level they could not surpass because of their lack of skill and patience. Which was fine because there was social playlists they could play. Now halo 4 seems to be completely based on the social type. When the infinity challenge was introduced I was excited to play, but unfortunately the challenge was not based on skill, it was based on who can be more of a loser wasting hours of their lives trying to accumulate the most points in a specific time frame. In halo reach, I've had the opportunity to play against opponents and alongside those who are actually at my skill level. I reached within the top 5 percentile of arena. By the top 20% you start seeing big names, names that when you see you know you have to play your heart out to progress to a better percentile. Everyone at that skill level know of each other, automatically you begin to form friendships and rivalries. Sometimes two rivals form a temporary bond to destroy a common enemy that was online. It produced such epic battles that even the producers and creators of the game could not even fathom. To the point where it was better than any game on xbox or sport you watch on tv. It became an entity of it's own, arena was a living thing almost. It somehow developed it's own karma, and it's own rhythm to master, it was a symphony of sheer destruction and glory. If there will be ever a day I return to halo, or we I should say, there's a handful of us you're losing business to, it will be to slay a monster or monsters in an competitive playlist. We are legends and we do not play for nothing, we got tired of running around swatting flies out of the air, no challenge, it's not fun. Other than that you're game is well created with graphics and balance. I was pleased when the update for momentum was fixed, at the beginning it was horrible. I'm sure the social based fans will be pleased to play your game forever. Its unfortunate halo is now not for everyone. All respects to the reach arena legends:

It was a pleasure playing against/with you guys, I hope to see you all one day. 343... As you can see I still have hope. Hopefully not too much time goes by before you do something. Not only are you losing my business, but xbox and it's franchise entirely. Farewell.
