IMO, it doesn't matter how long before Reach they were working on it, but how long after Reach they release it. In other words, let the players actually have a chance to thoroughly enjoy a game as long as possible before releasing another game on the same platform that will fracture the player base. It's only been a year so far; at the very least, it should be three.

Again, shenanigans. They fragmented the Halo 2 base when they released Halo 3. They fragmented Halo 3 when they released Halo: Reach. Why is it for them to decide what type of multiplayer that we, the players, want to play? They are always going on about how many options they offer. The way I look at it, them making another game is just adding another option. Also, it's not like the sales of one will cannibalize the sales of the other, they are two different games.

The way most people see it is that the newer one is meant to replace the older one. Activision definitely picked up on this trend and started charging people out of their ass for games and DLC and making them come out every year.

They should just use the new trilogy to tell a story, and continue to support Halo Reach for Halo's MP. For example, H4 could be bundled with a Halo2 ports for Reach (developed, as usual, by Certain Affinity). They want to fuck around with the universe, fine, they've already set the sails of that ship. However, they need to trend lightly with MP.

I'd rather see the multiplayer revamped at least one more time. Reach multiplayer is shallow, unskilled, random, frustrating and boring compared to any of its predecessors.

Halo MP getting "revamped" doesn't mean it will address any of those perceived problems. Besides, they have the TU coming!

Why is there an Energy Sword on Beaver Creek.

Looks like there are two shotguns, camo & overshield too.

Meh, Forge.

wait what the fuck. they wanted to bring back a select few of the best halo 1 maps and they chose damnation? did they at least do anything to address the spawn and teleport raping on blue?
E: it looks like they added that rock wall in, but the camera never really looked directly at it. at least it looks beautiful
E2: other video loaded, finally. looks like they fixed it.

We will be working with MLG in the future to evolve and adapt with MLG's preferences as the Organization starts to figure out ways to use the TU additions.

Why does Bungie 343i have to be sucking MLG's dick so hard? What about the rest of us who actually want to enjoy the game we play and not just play it because it's the competitive thing to do?

Finally, the multiplayer doesn't need to be revamped, it needs to be fixed. I have a hunch that it's the MLG-desired changes that keep fucking it over.
