I worded what I said on purpose as I am dissatisfied with how the game came out. Lots of let downs for me. So what I said stands and your last bit there looks like you came to the same conclusion if I would have just used different letters on a screen. There a many other things I could say to defend what I already have said but what's the point. Sorry you felt I was being pretentious. And to add Bungie has said a lot of things that didn't quite come to fruition, so my comment was hurtful but could be viewed as justifiable.

Wife from Seattle, Wow you should be an expert on gaming because of that reason alone. So now knowing some developers that so called "worked on halo games" makes you know what developers go through? I know that when I go home I don't tell my wife, family, friends, or anyone else what frustrations I go through on a daily basis with our games. I don't tell them about the long meetings, the great time I have coding, or the fun I have when the test teams come back to tell me all the issues they found that now need to be fixed. Maybe I don't tell them because of the NDA or the fact that they don't care or just the fact that it's my job and I have to deal with it. It is common sense to NOT make the part of a game balanced that is NOT supposed to be balanced (AKA Iron Banner).
