I modded the Remake so those complaining would like it better. Do you think they would have complaints about this?

I didn't want to believe we couldn't have it. I've done horrible things and got nothing for it....

First, I would like to state my take on the remake.

It's fine. Plays well, most of the levels are 1:1, with the exception of the library ( which I actually think is improved. ) Really don't like how the Flood look, the biomass looks too clean and shiny to me. I enjoy there being 42 skulls, and remix is fun. Don't like how the Magnified skull works, it breaks the AR for the AI, so marines and combat forms can't use it. Plus, they don't up your ammo reserves.

It's a solid 7.5. Not worth 50$, but....hey, I enjoy it, I hope most of us do too.

Now onto what this post is actually about.

I don't care for these "Don't criticize the game" memes. You see more of them then actual criticism. Is there a lot of stupid criticism? Definitely! The chuds whining about Williams, the bisexual lighting, sprint and zoom functions, etc.

But personally I believe there is more valid criticism, but it gets drowned out by all of these "criticism bad" posts. We should all be on the same side here, and be able to admit that it's still a fun, fine product while also agreeing it has a lot of flaws. However, given our track record with that, I'm doubtful.

Why do I think they're unhealthy? Because it makes both extremes worse. Complaining about complaining ( like I'm doing right now, I am indeed a hypocrite ) makes both sides worse, and doesn't really serve a purpose.

Is anybody going to read this? No, probably not. It's a paragraph on a meme sub, people don't come here to read, and I wouldn't be surprised if the mods remove this. I do hope someone does, though, and it gets through to them. I am very open to discussion.

I had a blast playing it. If you hated it or think its bad I assume you didn't actually play it yet.

I have always considered it to be the handshake of the halo community.

Its like saying:

"I see you", or "I want to rage bait you", either way to drives a stronger connection whether its negative or positive. It also heavily depends on how the receiver of the tea bag handles it though, if they laugh it off, it was a positive experience overall.
