Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

Why is it that whenever someone posts a, "Halo: Reach is a terrible game and I'm here to tell you how terrible it is because some of you have the audacity to like it!" thread always comes off as a, "I'm desperately trying to prove to myself that Halo: Reach is as bad as I wish it was so I'm posting about it on the Internet so that maybe someone will agree with me and I can justify crying about it some more" thread?
You come off as extremely upset. I didn't even go into the full detail of what make Reach bad because anyone should be able to spot the obvious flaws. You act like I'm the only person in the world who dislikes the game. Are you completely ignoring the fact that most of the longtime fans left the game completely and the population is terrible? Or how about all of the negative critisicm of the game?
How strange.
If the flaws are so obvious to everyone, why do you still feel the need to come to Bungie.net and point them out? Especially if you apparently don't need to, what with them being so obvious to everyone. I guess you couldn't possibly be attention seeking. That sounds like something that an attention seeker certainly would never do.
I can totally understand that you thought I was completely flabbergasted by the fact that anyone dislikes Halo: Reach (on the Internet no less!), I guess my post needed closed captioning just in case the frustrated sigh and general not this again... tone weren't enough.
Most of the long-time fans? I'm a long-time fan. Several of my friends are long-time fans. We're as long-time as you can possibly get and we still all regularly play and enjoy Halo: Reach. As far as the long-time fans I actually care about are concerned, Halo: Reach is holding strong. Neither I nor anyone else should care about what some anonymous self-declared 'long-time fan' on the Internet thinks, but apparently you do.
I hear Louis Wu is still playing Halo: Reach.
That terrible population is a real game-killer, right? You know times are hard when you see the same person in matchmaking for a second time - nine months after you first saw them! Those other several hundred thousand active players are obviously just not enough to sustain the game if I can bump into the same guy twice in a single yearly period. Once you're out of the millions, you're doomed forever, right? It must have been some kind of space magic that kept Red Faction: Guerilla going on less than one hundred active, regular players for months on end.
Wouldn't it be really weird if Halo: Reach was one of a dozen high profile games with overlapping populations all competing for the attention of their core demographic at the same time?
As for criticism: subjective personal opinion on the Internet. How full do you think my care cup is right now? Empty? Hurray. You were right.
In case you were wondering (after my last post, I thought it best to make this clear as I can): long-time fans' choice of game they wish to play, the opinions of people on the Internet (did you know critics - the people who get paid to critique these kinds of things - thought Halo: Reach deserved a rating of 'universal acclaim?') and Xbox LIVE population charts do not make a game bad. They do work pretty well as smokescreens to hide behind when you don't trust enough in your own opinion to simply state: I dislike Halo: Reach and know it is enough.
