I responded to the two major points you were attempting to make. You're trying to say that there was a franchise-wide hate implied it a comment that specifically targets Halo 4 itself. You were also attempting to support that very claim by misquoting me. You were trying to support your claim based on me saying that Halo is "just another FPS", which is something I never said. I said it's "just an FPS" and it's "only an FPS". The way you worded it added negative connotation that wasn't in what I said. In my thread that you seem to like bringing up and misconstruing, I clearly say; [quote][b]I do not hate Halo fans. I hate Halo fanboys.[/b] They're much different. These diehards think that they are the centre of gaming.[b] Halo was pivotal in FPS multiplayer. I'm not stupid, I know how important Halo's birth is to modern FPS releases.[/b][/quote] And [quote]Halo is only an FPS. A damn good FPS, but an FPS nonetheless. [b]Halo was definitely a top-tier series. Definitely. I'm not saying it wasn't.[/b][/quote] Your disregard for key points in both my thread and in this discussion just shows that you're only interested in things that make you look right. You seem to completely disregard the fact that my thread isn't a Halo franchise hate thread. You also like to twist words and statements to your liking. Well, let's be very clear, that will not work against me. I'm not an idiot. I know what I said, how I said it and what I was talking about. I hate 1 Halo game. Not 2. 1. Halo 4 is the only Halo game I hate. There are others I'm not particularly fond of, ODST and Reach (which aren't main series titles, by the way), but I don't hate them. I simply felt that both of them were unfinished. Halo 2's campaign didn't tickle my fancy. Let's be real, though. Halo's campaigns are not what people played Halo for. Halo's multiplayer is what gets it such high praise, and rightly so. At the time, nothing quite like Halo existed. We're all aware of that. Nobody is discrediting the Halo franchise here (despite what you seem to think). I can be a Halo fan and not be an elitist about it. In fact, I am a Halo fan and I'm not elitist about it. I'm also a The Last of Us fan and I'm not elitist about it. Both games have earned their spots at the top in my opinion. I simply feel that Halo 4 was a huge letdown. That is a personal opinion that I am more than welcome to have a share. If you're just going to misquote me again or completely disregard this very detailed post, do not respond. I don't need to see another "which is what I'm trying to say"-like line from you. I know what you're trying to say, you're just wrong in this case. I do not hate Halo as a franchise, just Halo 4 as a game, and the thread you're citing clearly states that. There's no implication of any kind in my first response to you. Also, another fun fact, my name was not EscapeTheArtist when I posted my rant about Halo elitists. It was Is__Endless or something like that. The only way you would have recognized the thread is if you actually searched for it in my activity or something. You couldn't have seen my name and been like "He's the guy who posted that Halo fanboy rant!" because I wasn't EscapeTheArtist back then.
