: You inject bile and insults where none are needed, to convey (at times,
: valid) criticisms.

: example A: Halo 4 is not a very good game compared to previous Halo's because
: it introduced CoD type tropes to a series that did not need it.

: example B: Halo 4 is not a very good game because 343 can't get their heads
: out of their asses and wanted to be like CoD for money.

: There is a difference, and that is why you get so much flack between here and
: DBO because you reap what you sow.

: You lack objectivity, I do not.

Word. Again, I was unaware that I was complaining about personal flack. Coulda sworn the response from Wu came to my talking about people trying to deflect blame, and the literal interpretation of clear hyperbole (which is not intended to be taken literally, hence it being called hyperbole--which I need to stop doing, as I have been told up above). Also, can't say I've taken any real flack at DBO for my own personal opinions, no matter how they've been presented. It all seems to be over here (for obvious reasons, and I'm very aware of what those reasons are and have been, thank you).

Also, your claim that you don't lack objectivity sounds like hyperbole! We both know you lack objectivity sometimes, even if not the majority of the time! And gasp, even I dare to show objectivity sometimes. Blah blah I'm rambling to make a pointless point. But that doesn't invalidate your point, naturally.

I'll be objective with 343 when they can release a product that actually works as advertised and/or as it should. I'm taking Schooly's post to heart. No pre-order, no season pass, no money to 343 going forward until they prove themselves. I'd say Halo 5 is their last shot before no money for 343 ever again. Unlike Schooly, I can't get my money back because I didn't buy digital. Yeah, my bad. Yeah, I'm mad. Yeah, I'm bitter. Yeah, it's been a trend since H4. I guess 343 brings out the best in me by not releasing the best of products. I'll be sure to work on that.
