Lol, I agree, the internets are all going to implode, leaving a black hole. And all because of some fanboys who FEAR CHANGE and feel the need to vent their insecurities on the forums. Jeez people, we're still getting Halo 3, the fantasmical FPS, and now to COMPLIMENT that, we also get an RTS into the bargain. How can this be a bad thing? Kudos to Bungie, not only for doing Halo Wars, but also for contracting it out to someone with more experience with RTS games, so that it will be the best it can be. As for people whining about storyline and continuity, chill out, for the love of all that is happy. Have you considered that maybe there isn't a problem with the spartan armor and that it looks new....perhaps it is just an early version of the armor, thus it would seem new to us. And who says they can't have BR's? No reason that some soldiers will use AR's and some BR's, and perhaps the ship from Halo one had a shortage of BR's or something. I think there would be a lot less ignorance, hatred and wasted time if people would just stop nitpicking about plot, freeze framing movies, and looking for reflections in visors (and for people who still think that is a face in the visor.... i think your particular strain of stupidity is malignant). Okay I'm done. Once again, fantastic job Bungie, no more complaining about lack of info from me!
