: I did try to be patient, but when it came time for my XBL to expire I was
: basically like "fuck it" and didn't bother renewing it. I did at
: least stick with customs until then, even if I had effectively abandoned
: matchmaking for several weeks. But now that the game is mostly fixed and
: playable, I'm happy. I've of course renewed my XBL and have been playing
: the MCC a lot lately. And that's all I really wanted. It took them four
: months, which is four months longer than it should have taken, but better
: late than never. And while I'm willing to forgive, I will never forget,
: and 343i should be subject to a vastly higher degree of scrutiny from now
: on. Of course, there's a difference between valid criticism and trolling,
: which I think was the point of some of the other posts in this thread.

I just want to clarify, you weren't one of "those people" I mentioned. :P
