: 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

: 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.

Except it doesn't suck. I've played a dozen games a night, almost every night recently (I was out of town this weekend so I didn't play Friday and Saturday), and it is rarely less than enjoyable. Yes, that's an opinion. Just like your assessment that it sucks is an opinion.

Grimmire's point was that there wasn't really any need at all for you to add your opinion to this particular thread. It's not as though every thread has to be fair and balanced. You know what? He's right. (And that's not opinion. It's fact.)

: 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.

Nobody asked you to make up nice things. But nobody asked you to jump into a positive thread and shit on it, either. You've made your disappointment abundantly clear in dozens and dozens of threads - it's not as though we'll forget if you skip one or two.

Sometimes, seeing something you disagree with and NOT responding is an acceptable path.

Something to think about.
