What I wrote on their forums, hope it isn't too offensive for the moderators at Waypoint:
[quote]I think Halo is getting closer to its timely death.
I loved the original trilogy because it was a labor of love. Now this "Reclaimer" trilogy is a labor of money, trying to squeeze every bit of money they can from the franchise that has already had its time.
The failure of a student is also the failure of a teacher.
I'm talking to YOU Microsoft. You only have 2 franchises to your name, and already one of them is going down. It won't be long until Gears fails as well.
I don't blindly hate 343i just because they "screwed up Halo", I am disappointed at their negative type interaction with the community and their overall purpose for doing Halo.
That's all I have to say, I hope this thread doesn't get locked again because I feel that 343i needs to see this. The GDC panel was the last straw, now the storm is here. I bid a farewell to Halo's glory days, and I look forward to Bungie's Destiny.[/quote]

It's bye not "by".

There's one thing I dreadfully hate and that's the fact they're pussies. They might not be bad people but as a studio they became ignorant and been lacking ability to say "that's right, we're sorry, we've -blam!-ed'up". There has never been a message containing that meaning in their talks with the community.
-
That's the one thing that ruined Halo 4, 343's bluntness and horrible attitudes. It seriously seems like they're all just a bunch of depressing people to be around, which would be why they put out a depressing game not just game-play wise (the holes is the campaign) but also with the effort you can tell that wasn't put into the game.
-
While I agree with SteelAssassn, I am giddy to read that another person shares my sentiments. I was completely against Halo continuing from the start. Bungie's passing-up of a multi-million dollar franchise screamed volumes about their character. I love Bungie.

See, that right there would be a legitimate topic to lock. You're not discussing anything; you're blogging. You don't encourage a discussion, you aren't constructively criticizing anything, you just simply want to get only your opinion out there.
-
No I didn't create this as a topic. I did post it as a reply in the thread, and a good number of people agree with me on the misguided management of the franchise.
-
That's not too bad then. As a topic, that would be worth a lock and maybe a warning, but as a post...really not that bad. Could use more constructive criticism, but that's not an issue warranting a ban.
-
Kind of like what you just did? .... And what I just did? Oh god, what have I done...
-
We didn't create a topic. We responded in a topic, establishing a potential conversation. The very fact you replied to me means that I encouraged a discussion.
-
Ah, well I took his post to mean he replied in the thread linked in the OP with what he quoted. As per your "discussion requirements," he facilitated conversation. If he did however just post that as its own thread, then I tend to agree with you.
-
Yeah pretty much.
