This is all so ironic. We all came here so that we could share our ideas and opinions and try to make Halo a better game. Many of you have even spent months on this forum voicing your opinions, and now we all know that these opinions didn’t matter. Apparently, 343 wants Halo to just be another Call of Duty with Halo in the title. Instead of focusing on the issues we had with the game, they just created completely new ones that were stupid and would never work in the game.
It’s almost as if the people who thought Armor Lock would be a good idea came along and made a brand new Halo game.
Anyways, the purpose of this thread is to show you all at 343 that this is not what the players want, if you haven’t already noticed from all the threads here.
I conducted a survey call the Halo Census, where I polled many people throughout the forum. I have not yet finished counting the results, but it’s pretty obvious that these results are widespread throughout the forum.

It’s pretty obvious from even the last question, that no one wanted another Reach. Unfortunately, it sounds like this one will be even worse. Do yourself a favor 343, and save your fanbase while you have a chance. Do what the FANS want, not money-hungry Microsoft. Try to make a game which will give you a leading position in the gaming world which will be one of respect and victory, not one of utter failure and disinterest in what the fans want.
