I agree the game isn't perfect, but it just seems so refreshing in the gaming landscape. I'm sad that there's no split screen, but I've come to understand that there are technical issues with that. I don't see why you can't have private matches with experience and rewards turned off, but it just seems like it's not a priority for them. Proximity chat might be nice, but it wasn't really an issue for me. You can pretty easily make friends in the forums and the fire team system is nice. I guess the game isn't perfect, but in my eyes it offers more to the gaming world than any other game has in a long time.
