After reading the Long version of Bungie's clear terms of use for the forums, and what not, I can no longer have the names of a few people I was going to put in here, in here. I will say hi to Franky however. hey Franky, I read your updates all the time. You Plasma Sword Stabbin' Scotsman. So anyway, here goes nothing, edited so I hopefully won't get blacklisted, and have Microsoftmen send me to some sort of re-socialization camp. Actually, first lemme make a few things clear.

-I love Halo.
-I read the books.
-I don't really like most anime.
-I like spicy foods.
-I shared wholeheartedly in Bungie's vision and construction of the Halo universe, and possible underground militancy.
--Now here it is.

Dear Bungie, or more specifically, those in charge of the story and overall developement,
What the heck happened?? To Earth's destruction being a major priority instead of having a comfortable re-outfit for Chief and Medal Ceremony? What happened to complete chaos and the humans 'backs against the wall' and Master Chief being the ONLY line of defense already outside the battle lines, and having to fly to the rescue to turn the fight? Fighting with the ODSTs through the apocalyptic ruins of NEW MOMBASA? AND, where the HECK are the two other concious and capable Spartans??" I feel extremely mislead. I hope you didn't save the major earth fight for Halo 3, assuming. Not that I don't enjoy a To-be-concluded style ending and a giant Little Shop of Horrors style Flood conciousness, (or the "Gravemind"). And a slew of celebrity cameos and an Incubus song that comes out of nowhere, (innapropriately). At least some of them celebrities got their Halo 2 sets early, and that's what counts. It was less like ninjas on fire speeding on an ambulance through a hospital zone and exploding....more like sort of confused ninjas...in wheelchairs and walkers....going to the hospital...because there's a problem with their colostomy bags. ON the plus side, the gameplay is amazing and the graphics are Awesome. With that capital 'A' I put there. Dual wielding rocks everybody's faces clean off. Not to mention swords. The work put in the by the Bungie engineers, modelers, and the artists is clearly evident, as is it's awesomeness. It may also be a problem with just the advertising campaign, maybe that's Microsoft's fault, who knows what the hell was going on. Well....Bungie did. Oh yes. But alot of fans feel let down, not because many of them want to tell you and everyone else what to do, but because you kind of, sort of, actually really did promise Halo 2 to be the sort of crazy/awesome/brain microwaving /harcore/sweet action Gloriousness, that we KNOW your very capable of, like taking the Halo excitement up like 25 notches. Without the paperback fantasy bullcrap. So anyway, without metioning names, PLLEEASE, make Halo 3 (assuming) and all your other games that special kind of crazy we were expecting. Remember to challenge yourselves!

So as my first Bungie post, and hopefully not my last, I'm hoping those guardian guys at Bungie read this, and maybe see what people are talking about. Im go play on live now, because, it's sooooo fun. Just wish you could sprint and do combo melees. and eat ice cream.
