To all the people calling this guy immature, let me say this: He has [i]obviously[/i] been bugged by this for a long time; it's hard to watch a series with so much future potential go into incompetent corporate hands. It's even harder to see that the final product feels more like a sci-fi spinoff of Call of Duty than the game you spent years enjoying. This isn't an immature overreaction. This is what happens when a -blam!- of a lot of bull flung directly at the faces of fans, and he's just someone who doesn't particularly enjoy that. /lawyer talk Now, can we please stop arguing about this? [i][b]Please?[/b][/i]

>Broke disc 1 Your job is only half complete OP.

This just further enforces my idea that the very worst thing about the Halo franchise over the years has been the fans. I'll make a thread on that later. You could have sold it, OP. Just snapping the disk is immature any way you look at it.

I would like to see someone post some pictures of themselves donating their unwanted games to a local children's hospital. Or a Boy's and Girl's club. YMCA or YWCA. A foster home. Send it to one of those "Games for Soldiers" websites. Drop it off at the Goodwill or Salvation Army next time you're thrift shopping. I've got nothing against you if you don't like your video game and you want to purge it from your home forever. That’s your prerogative. If you can’t use it, and you don’t need the cash it could generate, why not donate it to someone less fortunate than you? Someone might have an Xbox, but might not have the game in question or the kind of disposable income that you have. They'd probably love a new game. Think of the hours of entertainment you’ll be providing them with. The old saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” really applies here. If you're not into the whole charity thing and you don't want to sell it, there are still plenty of alternatives to destroying it: Put it on a table at work with a post-it on it that says "free". Sign your name and get brownie points for being generous. Offer it to one of your six million Facebook friends or Twitter Followers. Or offer it up on the forums here. Get brownie points for being a cool guy on the internet. Hand it to an able bodied spare changer next time you're downtown and tell them it's worth 10 bucks at Gamestop or a pawn shop. They'll get a hot meal and have a story to tell. I know this is “charity”, but I liked the idea of handing it to a stranger and having them walk into a Gamestop with it. Find an arcade (or any local spot that has arcade games) and place it next to the cabinet with a sign that says "free". You know a gamer is going to find it. Offer it up on the Halo Waypoint. Surely someone there wants it. Put it in a plastic bag, hide it somewhere in public and then post directions to it on Craigslist. You just created a treasure hunt for a random person and they’ll have a story to tell forever when they get there and it’s the real deal. If you're in school (or know someone who is), give it to someone at the front desk, and tell them to hand it out to a kid who might really like it. Imagine being that kid. Wait for the next Gamestop midnight product launch, and give it out there. You’ll make some new friends. Wait for Halloween and offer it to a Trick Or Treater (whose parent approves of the gift). Wait for PAX and give it out there. Wait for Christmas and give it out as a gift, even if it's a white elephant or gag gift. Boom someone else's problem. Carry it around with you and see what people are willing to barter for it. Accept the best offer. Could you get a hamburger? Could you get into a movie? Perhaps a free haircut? I know some of these ideas are silly, but tell me you wouldn't click on a thread takling about the unique ways someone gave something away. Seriously, there are so many people out there who would appreciate your unwanted games. Instead of breaking the disk, next time...make someone's day...and then share that news with us.

Yeah, this isn't a childish, immature, idiotic way to handle a situation at all. Halo 4 is a very enjoyable game that is slightly different from the originals, but still very much halo with most of the halo elements. Many people enjoy it, and it is most definitely not a step backwards for the industry. If you want to see something that is, go look at The War Z or Duke Nukem Forever or the new Aliens. Those are games that have actual, legitimate problems behind them. this is just a difference of opinion. You are everything that is wrong with the world. An entitled, selfish child on the internet.

Yeah I hate Halo 4 and 343i, I miss the Bungie days.

Halo 4 isn't the start of the problem, Halo 2 was. I don't have the pics on this hardrive, but I broke Halo 2 (xbox), Halo 2 Vista, the multiplayer map-pack disk, and the collector edition disk. That game pretty much created the modern system of dumbed down multiplayer filled with aim-assist, bullet magnetism, tons of camping spots, power weapon whoring, and a go-to, kill everything weapon (the BR). That doesn't even include the wtf-tastic campaign that turned the Covenant into the typical soap opera cast and force-fed you the story so hard that you had to drink lube (beer) before you played so you wouldn't get a brain tumor. Oh, and it only takes about 3-3 1/2 hours to beat on normal.

Ignoring all emotional ties, this was statistically a waste of money. I see no point in it, do you smash up a car if you don't like it? No, you get it fixed or sell it as scrap.

Hire people who hate Halo? Yeah, lets not hire people who RESPECT and LOVE what Halo is because obviously they don't know what there talking about :/ 343 logic. But I don't blame you OP, Halo 4 is trash and Im not going to buy anymore future Halo titles with what 343i is doing with Halo. Also you should post this on the waypoint forums to see how fast you get perma banned ;)

Now go and snap any BF3 or CoD discs you see.
