If you have a complaint about the game, just take a step back and remeber how lucky you really are to even be in possesion of it when compared to the millions of people suffering around the world with not even a roof over their heads.
I know there has already been infinity billion trillion analyses of the poster so far, but they have all been about the Spartans from what I have seen.
I want to draw your attention to the weapons of the one dead centre and the one to the far right. Looking at the scope of the sniper on the far right Spartan (or ODST as some have suggested), you will notice that its shape is slightly irregular, and it is much more like a traditional scope. Then look back to the middle Spartan. There has been much controversy over what he's holding, but if I know Bungie, they made that ambiguity for a reason.
We know, and they know we know, that Bungie would never make an entirely new weapon that is just an outright hybrid of two other weapons, but then we all know that a gun with properties that were a mix of AR and BR would be sweet. It has the same shaped stock as an AR, yet seems to have a scope similar to a BR, also, the barrel is slightly longer than that of an AR. You might have guessed where I'm going, but I don't think it's unreasonable to assert that Bungie are hinting at some kind of customizeable weapon system. I don't know if it has been said before, but I've said it now, and I think my evidence is good. To extrapolate further however, I even believe they may have functional armour customization. By functional I mean, 'having an affect greater than pure aesthetics'. Again, Bungie wouldn't put something in there without a reason; they know their fanbase, and if you look at the far right Spartan versus the one right next to it you realise that in a real multiplayer scenario, they smaller one would be way unbalanced versus the bigger one without some significant gameplay changes to balance the whole thing out.
I'm sorry if it's been said before, but I hope you will appreciate my thoughts regardless.
