bungie can spit out all the logic they can muster up to why they decided to ruin a perfectly good game. they did it with halo ce, and now with halo2 post patch. they'll never learn and continue to think what they do is always brilliant. like i've said in the past, the current bungie team was given the keys to a ferrari and they turned it into a honda civic. congratulations gang, keep up the good work! EDIT: note to bungie- keep an eye out for gears of war 2 multiplayer and watch as a true master of online play does it. Cliffy wont kill what people love about gears 1, he'll just improve upon the game while fixing things people hate. gotta love epic, they've done it right since Unreal Tournament.
