: I may be off, but I think Grim's statement was directed at the fact that the
: first post was brimming with positivity rather than slandering a very
: enjoyable game. Then the two successive posts after GrimBrother's
: statement decided to be all like, "Oh, you like skittles huh? Well
: here's nuttin' but M&M's... bitch". I'm by no means saying the points
: made are invalid, they could be exactly what the problem is. I've barely
: even touched MP so I no stance on the subject. I do strongly believe that
: unbiased critiquing is absolutely needed for improvement/progression and
: that ignorance of faults/shortcomings due to ones love/faithfulness in
: something hinders growth and development. Is MP really so bad that you
: can't at least say something positive in your post like, "You know
: what, I will give Halo 4 MP this, it looks damn sharp in a nice
: suit". Sometimes rain needs to be the bigger man and ignore that
: parade that is passing nearby.

Well them, who knew this needed to be broken down. That's exactly why I responded to Grim. It was beyond obvious what Grim was responding to and why he was saying what he was saying, and it was beyond obvious that my post was going to be counter to the opinion that somehow Halo is BACK, which I figured Grim would love since it's the opposite of the positive type of post.

Also, Korny has disagreed with me on just about everything regarding H4 up to this point, so he has done quite a great job of saying nice things about the game (and no matter how right he's been on many things, he's 100% wrong about the Boltshot, and I say that in jest and with the utmost love for Korny because that gun is just an abomination and the worst thing to ever happen to any game ever in the history of the universe). I also said that 343 had been making many, many improvements on the game until the weapon tuning. So, you know, you don't have to gloss over the fact that credit was given where credit was due, but the end result of H4's current iteration just, well, sucks. Maybe it doesn't suck as bad as the game did until somewhere between mid-April and June 3, where it was getting pretty good, but when it sucks, it sucks.

: This place could use some more feel good threads lately, make up compliments
: if you don't have any real ones to give, like how people always tell a
: parent their baby is adorable when we all know, not all babies be cute.

I won't make up nice things to say about a game that has been, for the most part, really terribly managed and, in my opinion, largely broken with endless updates to fix it all since its release.
