With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
Give me a break, man. What's worse than people whining about non-Halo things they want IN Halo are the people that whine about those people saying that said things "aren't Halo."
The point of a public forum is discussion. One of the characteristics that a forum will acquire due to it being public is a large and diverse amount of people. Not just any people, but gamers. Gamers that play games. Gamers that play games other than Halo. Gamers that like to play games other than Halo, and would love to play Halo even more if it had elements of the non-Halo games put in them.
What makes COD fun? The class system and the weapons custimization. What makes Gears fun? The types of weapons, the tactics, and the cover-system. What makes Halo fun? Vehicles, weapons, simplicity.
When people make threads about what they want in Halo: Reach like you mentioned, it's merely a consequence of them seeing what is good in other games, as well as them probably wanting to conceptualize an "ubergame" in their heads. A game that has the fun of Halo, the fun of CoD, and the fun of Gears (just to name the more popular examples) all rolled into one. It's just a wishlist. They shouldn't be told to shut up, regarldless of how much Halo they've played. Your greater experience with Halo gameplay gives you nothing over them; you're simply more loyal to the core gameplay elements of Halo than they are, and that is your opinion.
And really, why do you care enough to actually make a thread about this? Are you fed-up with how the forum gets mainly these types of people? Well, if you are, you can do two things. The first option is simply leave this forum to them, but I wouldn't really advise that because it makes the forum even more one-sided than it already is. The second and better option is to spend your time coming up with topics or posts that may actually be useful to read for people that share your opinions about what Halo: Reach should be, rather than waste your time telling people who won't be quiet to shut up.
