So, do you have a problem reading and accepting criticism of you favorite franchise? What's the matter with wanting something to be improved? What's wrong with voicing your opinion when you see something that is clearly bullshit?

A lot of people here are passionate about the Halo franchise just as much as you are. So much so that it hurts them when poor decisions are made. Rather than stand idle and accept them, they choose to voice their opinions so that they might persuade the developers.

I know it can be tough to hear criticism all the time. But how else do you expect fans to be heard? I am sure 343i wants to make the best games possible, and they can't do this unless players provide feedback to show them what works and what doesn't.

Appropriate and meaningful feedback can be very valuable, however, you have to separate the good from the bad. But that's the job of 343i, not ours, only they know the amount the amount of resources available to them. Let them decide what's feasible and what isn't. In fact, I think they have made quite a lot of important decisions due to recent feedback, which they might not have made without it. So you should be thanking people like Avateur!

Also, if you don't like reading criticism, I suggest staying away from forums, because they are full of it.

p.s. You can play Halo CE MP with the Xbox Live Marketplace version, it's only $10. It's not online, but it is H1 MP as it was intended.
