I've been a Bungie fan since the days of Marathon, so I trust that whatever Bungie makes I will enjoy, because I always have (they don't need me trying to tell them how to make games). In my experience Halo has essentially two fan bases; those that started on C.E., and those that started on Halo 2. All of the Halo games are great, but they have different fan bases, and I'm sure the reason that Reach's player base fell off had a lot to do with 343i's tinkering. But all of that is beside the point. My point was that all of the other articles out there praise the game, while hers is far away the most negative. If her points were valid, she wouldn't be the only one making them. Ultimately we'll know for sure soon enough when the beta drops, maybe we can even play a strike together :)
