Did that (inadvertently). And I just don't understand the overwhelmingly negative reaction.

Your point about the human population and how many the Didact killed: If the population is that low, wouldn't ANY amount of human deaths be a really bad thing? And what does it matter where he wanted to fire? He's in a pretty much unstoppable Forerunner ship so he can just blast away at his leisure.

You said in your responses to Melee that you didn't want to sound hostile. You were just reacting to what you consider to be 343's terrible plot. I think I'm the same way. I'm reacting to everybody else, as I'm unable to see why everyone has such a problem with the campaign. So, like you and Melee said, no hostility intended.
