" So, you twist the d-pad and it sticks out a little?  Um, big whoop. "
kind of a big deal for fighters (and even shmups) since it will allow more precision and greater range in the motion of the d-pad.  the current d-pad is very mushy and provides little tactile feedback on its positioning relative to what you're actually doing on screen.
 
that said, SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS to fix what should have never been broken in the first place is outrageous.

I tried using a different stage background (someone else has used it too) but the colors worked too well together.  Everything else just looked wrong.

Personal subjective bias based on countless hours of play with the latest version of the game. It's like telling a player who played 500 hours of Starcraft: Brood War that his opinions of what should be tweaked to make Starcraft 2 better are null simply because they're only opinions. You don't  get mad at the guys on the Bombcast for saying their opinions, so why get mad at me? And I know I don't really compare to the Bombcast guys in terms of video-gaming experience, but, when it comes to Halo 3 and FPSs in general, I easily have as much, if not more experience in that genre. I have played over 3000 games of Halo 3. If each game only lasted 10 minutes (standard game time is 15 minutes) that's still, would you look at that, 500 hours of Halo game time.

An opinion formed from extensive experience is still an opinion.  I have spent many hours playing all the main Halo releases as well, and in fact I disagree with your original statement 100%.  The campaigns have steadily gotten more inane, bloated, and silly whereas the multiplayer has varied in quality. However since this is an opinion  I cannot write it down as though it were a fact. I cannot use it as some categorical truth that someone can point to whenever they read something they feel is "a lie".    You must be the kind of person who equates quality with number of units sold.
 
You also make the assumption that I have never been upset with the members of Giant Bomb for making opinionated statements that I disagree with.  I'm not sure what powers of clairvoyance you think you have (you don't, btw), but making grand assumptions as to the behavior of others without ANY proper context is always the mark of an excellent writer I assure you.  Why bother with making educated statements when you can point fingers and deflect like a politician?  I'm not going to go into detail about when/where/why I've had disagreements with the Bombcast, because quite frankly it has nothing to do with this discussion.

  Halo accounts: 
RX Warfare  (Not all the games on this account are mine, I used to share this with my two brothers, They weren't really big on halo so about two-thirds of the games are mine.)
Jet Tripper
Eclipse TGTS (Yes, that is the real Karma, for those of you who knows who he is. He ended up coming back and beating me by the end.)

I'm not sure why you posted these, is this like when someone shows you trophies they won 10 years ago and expects you to be proud? What is the relevance here?  Nobody has questioned your ability at Halo, only your ability to write in a manner that is logical and less aggressively opinionated.

Anything I say, which is not fact, is opinion. It's not some super big secret. If you guys can't get over that this is my opinion and, despite being not fact, can still have merit, then I your kind of stupid and I think you should stop reading what I write. This is the last thing I'm going to write to you guys. Next time, don't be so aggressive a listen to the actual message. 

You're dispensing logic that you should probably follow.  Again, nobody has stated that you attempted to pass off your original post as fact; merely that you attempted to "disprove" another writer's opinion with one of your own (and then wondered how that's a problem).  Your post was needlessly antagonistic all because you read something you didn't like.  This is childish and without merit. I do agree with you that its best for everyone that you stop writing and we all stop reading.
 
And just for clarification since you seem unable to remember your own writing:

 You see, In the article I just finished reading entitled "Halo: Reach- Revolution or Evolution," the writer stated that "All of the games bearing the name Halo have been extraordinarily good, and we expect nothing less off Bungie’s upcoming First Person Shooter epic, Halo: Reach."

That's a lie.

 That's a lie. In fact, the only thing that's been improving in the series is the campaign, while the multiplayer has been getting progressively worse since the first installment.

I stopped reading after this sentence.  Good luck proving to an EIC that you're a "capable writer" when you're unable to separate quantifiable objective fact from personal subjective bias.  The above statement is a declaration of personal opinion; using it as an argument to prove the original author's own assertion of personal opinion a fallacy is akin to blaming a dog for not being a hamburger.  The logic is flawed and holds zero weight.
 
Good luck with your writing career.

demon's souls is more antagonistic toward the player than most games released after 1996.
 
it is not hard; it is simply a different experience than other games in the same genre.

Danger is an amazing talent; promo materials for his earlier work are also all in a 16-bit style.  Watch videos of his live performances to see the different graphics he has for his backdrops.
