: I can sure try! Well in my opinion, I feel like they dropped the ball on
: things like the file share, a ranking system, and scoring in campaign. I
: would say that controller support falls into the same category. In that
: "the game" itself might be complete (single player/multiplayer)
: but because they have to resort to releasing part of the experience in a
: later update, they've forced the player to wait on something that
: initially they wanted support for at release.

: Honestly I am not sure that controller support was intended to be at release,
: but if it was, then it's too bad they couldn't get it ready in time.

: For me the Halo experience has "almost" always been more than just
: the game (going on b.net, saved films, forge, ect.) so if a game is
: complete at launch, and its going to have those features, then they need
: to be ready by launch.

I forget - did 343i ever announce these features and then backtrack on them being in at launch?

If not, then it's just a case of your version of 'complete' differing to theirs (i.e. they never planned on putting it in so it was never on their to-do list)
