Yes, it just wouldn't be the same without a bit of melodrama from you, would it? Examples: [quote]All of this combines to make Halo 4 one of the most disappointing releases [b]of all time[/b].[/quote] [quote]out sourcing 95% of the actual work for the game[/quote] No. Halo 4 performed extremely well with critics and has picked up numerous awards, people love it and people hate it - the same as it has been with every game in the world. The same as it has been with every [i]Halo[/i] game in the world. Granted, Halo 4 is held back from greatness by being rough around the edges, and things like the removal of previous features and lack of a working File Share system come as a major disappointment - but, in time, these things can be fixed. They can't just click their fingers and have every problem resolved, it takes [i]time[/i] to collect data, find a solution to problems, and implement it. This runs the risk of opening up other problems, and the whole cycle starts anew. It's the murky reality of sustaining an online experience, and it helps nobody when people like you start being zealous in melodramatically calling Halo 4 one of the biggest disappointments of all time. It's simply not true. What's the best thing to do? Identify the problems with the game and present them to the developers in a way without acting like an entitled or facetious little shit, in time improvements will come and it's up to you as the player to either sit back and stop playing, or move on and continue to play because you can still enjoy the experience it offers. Yes, hopefully they do learn their lessons over at 343i and Microsoft over the missteps they've made - as Frankie has admitted, there there have been many, but it doesn't compromise the pride they have in their work, and it shouldn't compromise their pride because the seeds they sowed over their 4 year labour have finally bore fruit. Admitting you've made errors is the first step to working to overcome them, which is what Frankie has said they are working on. As players, we can only sit back and wait for those changes to be implemented - just over 1 month, as a new Title Update is coming at the end of February. Whining, making petty insults, and just plain making things up at people who have devoted years of their lives to a project isn't going to get any complainer listened to or respected. There are [i]some[/i] people who still need to learn that.
