1.) I don't know when the last time you were at the forums, but you can criticize this game endlessly now. Most threads on the boards are threads with suggestions, criticisms, how 343 screwed up, etc. If they didn't tolerate negative views initially they definitely do now.I hardly call this "endless criticism."
2.) That's a bad point with 343 the company, but it doesn't really have to do much with the forums. In fact, so many people there are disgusted and ashamed of 343 for their behavior involving the map pack. More so than here.I have yet to see a single topic in their forums relating to this issue. Yes, I've looked. I would imagine it would be in either the Matchmaking, General or Halo 4 forums. Unfortunately, criticism of this distasteful decision remains elusive.
3.) Well, it is a Halo forum, so you can expect most of it to be about Halo. At least you can discuss many aspects of Halo there, and all the different games. I hope an off topic forum opens there eventually.Completely missing the point. Discussion for Halo has not evolved. I can basically break down the first page of Halo 4's forum into four things. Armor codes, XP codes, asking for more custom game options, and complaining that people aren't appreciating what 343 does. Even in the -blam!-storm that was the Reach forum, you at least saw discussion about gameplay and mechanics. I haven't seen that yet, and judging by how long it took for me to load the first page of the Halo 4 forum, it's not going to happen any time soon.
You need to remember it's a casual Halo forum, of course kids are gonna get on it to ask for stuff like codes and things. It happened here too, especially in Reach forums.
And pretty much the entire Matchmaking forum is dedicated to gameplay mechanics, and fixing aspects, etc. If you don't feel like there's enough topics, or want a specific one, feel free to make one yourself.
And please, there's been much criticism about 343, and how they're prioritizing the map packs over real problems like File share, and the removal of custom games, and the fact that 343 never respond to threads or ideas in the forums.
