I created this tread simply to see what everybodys take is, and how you are handling the changes and additions. Me, personally, have supported every decision they have made. They have executed perfect gameplay, balancing the competitive side with the "fun" factor. They have made additions to things like weapons, such as the rail gun, which sounds like a fantastic weapon.
They have compramised a ranking system to fit all audiences, containing, (as far as we know), a both 1-50 and halo reach system, with the beloved method of EXP. This, so far, is making for a fantastic game. Keep it up, 343!
