Bungie did the opposite, before. With Reach. The beta was a perfect Halo. Damn near for the fans. We loved it, so much. Then, when the final product came. We just flipped the table. They completely changed everything. And I mean everything. From jump height, to base running speed, and sprint speed. The jetpack. Armor lock. Bubble shield. Everything felt not only balanced, but fun AF. Bungie stated in a podcast before. The reason why they changed it all. Because of the fans. Yes, you. But in a bad way... They said since Reach was going to be their last Halo. They wanted to make it play THEY wanted to. NOT what the fans wanted/liked. Or, take into consideration our ideas. They essentially left it as a blueprint. A canvas of sorts. For 343 to work off of. TL;DR bungie changed their game BC of the fans. Which was negative. Imho, the least played and sold Halo of its time. Opposite of what they do now, which is heed everything you whine about. And change and alter the game so much. Quit being hypocrites and complaining about the very thing you helped create.
