I agree. 343 did a great job with this launch. They have worked extremely hard and the results are astounding.

I think you’ve got a solid point there.

The problem here is that once you start making tweaks to it, eventually you go overboard. It’s this idea that everyone thinks that the gaming industry has this obligation to make every single person happy. They don’t. They CAN’T! It’s not possible for the smallest of niche games, let alone a global monstrosity that is Halo. The best bet is to try to aim for the middle. I think what the OP was getting at was the amount of posts on how people feel this game negatively affects “themselves.” Forgetting the fact that there is a world wide audience out there who may have a very opposite opinion. Further complicated that while the forums are vocal, they are usually only the negative vocal. Those who are satisfied (by and large) don’t feel the need to come to forums to post how happy they are with the game. They just play it.
At the end of the day its totally up to you if you want to play the game or not. But don’t walk around thinking that just because you complain loud enough that YOUR issue with a game is going to get fixed. You don’t like it. Play something else. Nobody is forcing you to put Halo in your Xbox.

> When I first jumped online for Halo 2, I was getting my derriere handed to me, I never took to the forum to vent my frustration, I just practiced, got better and then eventually made up all my deaths by making sure I finished every game with at least 1 kill higher. With time and persistence I got better but nowadays, ha no way would that happen. OMG, the pistol is so powerful, it’s supposed to be a side arm bla bla bla bla bla boohoo!

> Also complaints regarding the ranking system, some of you guys need to learn and understand the meaning of the phrase “There’s no I in team” so you might get lumbered with a team who maybe aren’t as good as you, I highly doubt you’ve stopped for a moment to think during your selfish heroic struggle to win it for the team that maybe if you shadowed one of your team mates you might be able to get a kill whilst keeping your team mate alive. If you long for nothing more than glory and don’t have a squad, stick to FFA, show everyone else how good your really are

Glad you are having fun. A lot of people do not share your level of enjoyment in the game, myself included and I have played Halo MP since CE (oh and my house rules about Goldeneye was nobody was allowed to play as Oddjob. That was one OP -Yoink-.) That said I do not begrudge anyone from enjoying any game.
holy -Yoink- someone finally said it and thank you. so sick of all the complaining its a really stable, balanced game unlike so many that have come out recently. the whining really needs to stop in most people.
