i would just like to add to my other post.

i think that your vote should not be automatically cast on the first map choice as many people forget to chose and i often end up having to play the first game mode.
its becoming depressing

There is nothing wrong with the DMR. I loved the BR, but the DMR is a clear upgrade. With single shots, you can put every bullet exactly where you want it to, without losing any power. The DMR is my favorite new weapon, largely because it is so easy to pick up and use effectively.

As for the melee system, have played any other Halo? It's pretty much the same, just slightly more frantic. I really don't understand your complaint here, since they really did change it at all.

Medals for assassination? Really, you're gonna complain about about a tiny icon? Sure, it's a bit inconsistant, but it's the single most minor complaint I've ever seen. What's next, you're going to complain that the beta doesn't have any achievements?

I've been killed by the EMP burst of the Armor Lock, so I'm fairly sure it can kill other players. It does exactly what it says it does, and it has a purpose. The only complaint I have about is that the invinceablity starts a little too soon and ends a little too late, making it inconsitant with the animation.

Juggernaut plays pretty much like it did before, too. If you think the Juggernaut has too much health, then you clearly not played as the Juggernaut. When 7 people are raining bullets down on you, that overshield goes fast. Maybe Juggernaut just isn't the game mode for you?

Finally, the new vote system is not perfect, but it's miles better than the old veto system. You honestly sound like you're just annoyed that your favorite game type doesn't win everytime. Sure, it sucks, but your complaints sound really childish.


Edit: The rocket's splash damage is really fucking ludicrious, though. Tone it down by like 1/4 or something, good lord.
