I was the "BIGGEST" fan, well maybe not the biggest - but I loved Halo2. At the beginning I loved Halo 3. I wondered why I never got a map with cool new weapons or cool new vehicles but. . .i was okay with it.

So now I realize that all the new weapons, vehicles, etc. aren't in multiplayer. I'm not sure if they want us to buy maps to get things like deployable cover and fire grenades. . . or these weapons they have created are so poorly designed they can't be used in multiplayer

Halo 3 is only Halo 2.5 when it comes to multiplayer. Not enough new content to keep me going - and i'm not going to put another cent into this experience.
