For too long we here on the Halo Waypoint forums and elsewhere on the Internet ranging from custom game communities, forgers, montage makers, competitive communities, have all been pleading with you to listen and speak with us.
For too long we have sat in the darkness of this “dog pound” you call Halo Waypoint. An online forum revolving around the Halo community where

Now is it just me or is this idea of Community really here? All I ever see when I come onto this “forum” are hundreds of avid fans and paying members of the franchise voicing their opinions on many aspects of the game and 343 that should be addressed.
Some of these include, and are not limited to:
- Weapon Balancing
- File Share
- Specialization Codes
- Theater Not Optimized
- SpOps allowed only to Online members
- Player menu in game controls don’t work
- Playlist depth
- Regional searches for MM
- JIP unbalanced
- Red "Death X"s
- Global Ordinance glitchy
There have been 305 pages of issues posted HERE in a Stickied Topic titled “Issues being investigated”. 305 PAGES…and yet we have not heard from 343 yet, we have not SEEN them yet.
These listed are just a small handful of the problems associated with your game 343. Many of us here on the forums know what we are talking about, and yes some of us however really do not, but I can assure you all of us should be equally listened to due to the nature we come to you. We come bearing suggestions, fixes, things that will make this and future Halo’s note worthy.
I will leave this post with one final comment and my point to be taken from this post/topic. Hear us 343. Speak to us. You have potential with this game. You do. But you need to listen to your fan base. We are here, you set this place up for us to come and talk about all things Halo related. We are here and we are talking. Where are you as a company? Where are you as avid Halo fans?
We want to help save this game and the franchise. We truly do, but the question is, do you honestly even care?
PLEASE, HELP ME MAKE THIS THREAD THE LARGEST HERE IN HOPES TO SHEDDING ENOUGH LIGHT ON THIS FAILING FRANCHISE AND THIS COMMUNITY, THAT 343 WILL NOTICE. WE CAN REVIVE WHAT WAS ONCE A GENERATION DEFINING FRANCHISE.
