In Response To: Microtransactions (Mr Daax)

: I'm curious what all you guys think about this, if it is indeed true.

I hate the way this article makes it seem like this is something that is for sure going to happen with Halo 4, but Ayoub's comments are more like, "hey, we've seen it work okay with other games, and it's something to think about".

Anyways, depending on the content and price, I'm okay with it. If it doesn't effect gameplay, and/or could be unlocked by playing the game anyways- something like armor pieces, emblems, or weapon skins. It's not something you have to buy to enjoy the game, but if you're really into it, you can buy it if you want. That said, I'd like the armor and emblem choices to still be pretty diverse at launch.
