What the -blam!- are you on about?

Just don't think about the button. When you're playing the game it will slip away from your current thoughts.

Just sit back and enjoy the game.

But by trying to not thinking about it I'll be thinking about it! And by not wanting to press it I will be tempted to press it over and over again, thus frustrating me. Kind of like when you do something that hurts a little, but then you do it again even though its annoying, and the very fact you can do it becomes annoying because you just can't help doing it. And I don't think it would be that great for people who buy it for a new halo experience, like they'll feel like they are playing an old game unless they never find out about the button.

Then just press the damn button.

Was that so hard?

The button is just a cool feature added in just to see how the game looked and played 10 years ago. If you do not like it, then do not use it?

Just press the back button to switch between graphics at anytime

Very few of you understand my complaint, I realize the button turns it back if you press it again but that fact its there staring at you will be annoying as at no point in the game do I want to feel as if the new graphics aren't true and merely a thin veil on top of an old engine, this button will give such a feeling and take away the illusions of freshness and solidness, even if I somehow restrain myself from constantly pressing it.

Probably, morso going from bad graphics to good graphics. I mean I understand the concept, but I think it will take away from the game on a subliminal level, you view the world as you see it this will confuse my suspension of disbelief just knowing its there.

Yeah but I am buying the game since I am attracted to the idea of an updated version of the classic and this will make it feel like the graphics are just some thin veil that disappears with a simple button press and that is just frustrating I want to be able to press all the buttons while it remains fully updated

The perfect use for the back button in Halo 4 is...

AA True Soldiers style equipment menu from which we can access:

-night vision
-3rd weapon (swap it with currently held weapons)
-1 support weapon (carry 1 on the back at the cost of speed)
-special grenades (i.e. firebomb)
etc.

But in Anniversary, it's current function is alright.
