    Big Surprise... callofBootyBlackCocks For the win.

    STUPID, retread of an old game. Small maps. Useless sniper rifles.

    Slashing someone's foot with your butterknife kills them... :rolls eyes:

    Well it's a good thing that every single other game on that list is a fresh, new IP then; games that are doing things that no other games before them have done before, and aren't just sequels of sequels. Right?

    Yeah, this was obvious. I do enjoy fanboys screaming in my ear about the sales. Who gives a SHIT! It's the content of the game, not how popular it is.

    Nah, there's only been one patch. Barely did ****. My game now freezes while I'm actually playing, instead of at menus.

    It's because Halo requires more skill.

    YEAH - Gaylo4 requires more skill...

    to run around shooting at clones of Master Chef - a loser with a suit that does nothing - and then club them in the back when the bullets fail.

    Tell your step son he should have been studying his school books - so America doesn't slip another 4 spots in math and science.

    Honestly I was kind of bummed about Halo's multiplayer. It just seems like Battle Rifle/DMR fights every game all the time.

    I absolutely agree that Halo takes more skill when it comes to multiplayer but at the same time it just gets stale using a BR or DMR match after match. Maybe it's just my experience but I hardly see anyone else with anything besides those two guns as they seem to be the only two that matter. (Obviously power/ordinance weapons matter, but I'm speaking strictly starting weapons)

    If that is the identity Halo wants then that's cool. Halo and COD shouldn't be exactly the same anyway. Guess I'm just not as big a fan as I was with Halo 2 and 3.

    Blame Halo Reach. In an attempt to make the game more competitive, almost every other weapon became useless. Not a fan of the DMR though.
