After looking over these forums for the past few weeks it has become clear that there are a lot of suggestions out there from fans that if implemented by 343 would probably improve the way H5:G plays today. I would hope that if 343 took any of these suggestions and features to heart and implemented them in game that they would at least acknowledge that the change was based on community feedback about the matter. I get the sense that part of the reason many on these forums come off as whiny or overwrought with their complaints is because there is very little acknowledgement that their views on the game are being heard. We know that 343 says that they are interested in our feedback but does that interest extend to the point that they are willing to implement changes that the community feels strongly about. For many on these forums they are in disbelief that 343 is even listening to them, and so they feel ignored. Now please don’t get me wrong, I am not in any way advocating that 343 must listen to what people have suggested or compromise their vision for the game, but I am asking that if they do make changes based on community feedback that they at least acknowledge that. For example, look at the way the xbox feedback site has gone along way to restore the faith that xbox fans had in the fact that they were being heard. I would suggest something similar for Halo.
Fix the servers for good, thats all I want.
They already decided to ditch loadouts for Arena, map control based gameplay, like the fans asked. Communication is not an issue in this community IMO.

Ok, I hope you are right. It just seems like if you are going to ditch a feature or add a feature you should let people know your thinking behind these decisions. This community is much more invested in this property then some of the other FPS out there and it goes along way to show that they care about this relationship by making these reasons for adding new stuff or taking stuff out more clear. Communication could always be improved.
Will probably tell us what has changed in patch notes etc, if the beta gets a patch mid way through. (Given this is the Microsoft Xbox flagship title)
