I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.
There was some magic about being able to boot up Halo and select your colors and emblem and then going into the fight. Upon booting up Halo 4 I can select my colors fine, but the emblems are limited, and the backgrounds are LOCKED. This is only the first indicator of the new "progression" system that was put into a game that was never designed to use it.
We of course have the loadouts as well, something that could easily just be a select AR, BR, or DMR at start. Instead we have a pointlessly expanded weapon sandbox in which most of the weapons are never used. I won't even get into the idiocy of being able to spawn with plasma grenades and or a plasma pistol. Halo did not need loadouts that the player could customize, especially one that requires a CODesque unlock system.
Then we have the armor system. I would not be one to argue if it was based solely upon getting armor at levels. Instead we see ridiculous tasks and other feats that require long hours of grinding to obtain some of the nicer pieces. Why? All this does is add that fake "re-play value" to the game.
To make up for the lack of an incentive based ranking system being the basis of gameplay 343i padded a pointless incentive system to get players to continue to play. This tactic has visibly failed, and large portions of the long term Halo community have gone. What then are your thoughts on these unlocks Flood? And do try to remain civil, I know that will be hard for some of you.
