the reason 343 are doing this is
the want halo 4 to fit mlg and casul players tick boxes as close as possible so true skiil on waypoint and causnl raning system in games works 4 me i guess im kinda both
um i does becase the only reason halo 2 online shut down was the new xbox so there halo 3 halo wars and 4 will shut down after the new xbox comes out couple years after acturly
no offense but your topic seems a bit meh to me all of youre reson seem not to good but good news 4 u arbiter is coming back in halo 5 also how could the covies be back most of them are peacefull anyway
ive noticed the start made no sense as well as chief did not have mark 6 i think armor at that time so i werid an kinda dumb 343 put it in but its very minor
