Playing the beta I meant I hoped it just escalated more and more. I love the game, been playing since beta, got 5 people to play it, made a bunch of friends online through it... I'm simply stating back then yes I had hopes about a lot of aspects...some were dashed, others were exceeded. But they seem in regards to community involvement to have taken a step backwards not forwards. I remember, they had a lot more give and take during the halo years. Fridays were something to look forward to just to hear from frank.
