although your agruements are so bias, i agree with one thing. they have dumbed it down. by slowing down spartans and makign them not jump as high. in the podcast they said they fixed that by making spartans faster and jump higher. so i have nothing to complain about. and if you are getting pwned by 5 graders who just picked up the game... you just simply suck [Edited on 06.06.2010 7:14 PM PDT]
