: Love how often they said "even playing field". No more loadouts! No
: more ordinance! Everyone's the same and it's your skill that, not which
: ever menu option you selected, that determines your success.

They're going to continue saying even-playing-field as if that's going to make a difference. The things they're doing are questionable at best and hilarious at worst. Also, if loadouts and things in Reach and H4 were deciding your success (and while I know this isn't personally true for you since we've played plenty), then your skill is low to begin with. I may hate Halo 4, but I absolutely rock at it. I don't attribute that in any way, shape, or form to whatever I happened to choose vs. others.

As a matter of fact, I attribute those random "unbalanced" things as potential instances where I got killed when I probably shouldn't have. Don't worry, that will still happen with this new approach.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think 343 needs to let the MLG people they hired do their jobs. And I think the MLG hiring is absolutely stupid. But there's no way the MLG people wanted this or went with this stuff, not after all the bitching they did about Reach (whether it's on an even-playing-field or not).
