I was realy exited for H4 - one of my most wanted games for this year. But I won’t buy it now. May be next year in summer, or in two years; → if it gets cheaper.
The reason?
Two of my good frieds and colleagues told me they were just frozen out of this forum. And I can understand what they mean:

An emergency decree combined with the order to shot fast has NEVER worked … and will never work. Not in the internet and not in the real world (Greetings from the Weimar Republic).
Ony of my friends told me he wanted to say: 343 should calm down over their leaks and so on, things will be fine … and he get banned.
What the holy hell is going on here? Is H4 still a game? Or a Religion … and the fanatics are making a putsch now ?!
I won’t support a sect - sry, thats why I won’t buy Halo 4. May be it will be a great game… and I am realy exited … but my morale stands above it.
I personaly have the feeling the things boil up to much here. Ppl get crazy … that’s why I will leave this forum until everything calms down. So iam out of this for may be one or two years.
I think my friends won’t come back. A pitty because they are great authors with a lot of good ideas; also useful for possible games.
So I don’t care what ppl write in here now, because I will stay away of this forum, too.
I just wanted to say to everyone of the fanatic fans and/or the overstrained monitors: Good Job with your Emergency Decree and your fanatic: “punish … no wait: EXECUTE the leakers” thing.
→ You lost a lot of good fans now with a lot of phantasy and ideas.
And … was it realy worth it?
(343 will be very happy…)
We let you alone now with the fanatics … and may be you can discuss more and more over multiplayerbalance and so on … why not …
Complete only Multiplayergames w/o storyline will work good … as H2 showed years ago.
It will be like it is always:
First the “avant-garde” leaves … then the normal ppl … then the ppl who think that everything gets straight to hell … and in the end: only a few unuseful fanatic coreppl will stay. (Good to see in a lot of other game forums → like in T10 forum.)
I just hope it won’t go this far with the Haloforum … would be bad for the Halo Franchise, too.
But I fear: everything in here is on the best way down to hell. Especially with the “Oh leaks? What is that? - Ehm a leak is … - Fast ban him!”- mentality.
It was fun …
… but lets say it with the words of Robbespierre …
“Things change!”
