Haha wow dude get real... do you seriously think that Bungie will ruin the Halo franchise over a simple armor upgrade? My faith in Bungie remains. Reach will be a very well-balanced game and I know that Bungie will make the right decisions before shipment [aside from a few glitches that will be patched in short time(keep in mind that a glitch or two in a game is completely unavoidable)] And yes, Halo campaign has always and will always be very entertaining but, MM is what has kept you playing the game. Over, and over, and over. I think most of us can agree with me there... and to risk something like that would be suicide for the guys over at Bungie studios.
