The answer to this hypothetical is no. It’s pretty insane to see some of the posts people are putting out because the game isn’t working properly. I’m frustrated along with the rest of you but when (yes when) they fix these issues Halo will be the same great experience you once enjoyed. The sky isn’t falling and no lives were lost just some headaches were had (and are having). If matchmaking is still broken in a week then you can email 343 and Microsoft all you want and tell them how your life took a turn for the worse and you want your money back.
Please patch the problems 343, call up reinforcements and get your coders and testers and fix whatever issues are causing this game to behave so poorly. Until then…take a zani or something, soon this will all be history.
