Personally I'm not offended by your comment, for me it was mostly that it seems comparing an update to a LONG established MMO to a brand new IP seems strange. Like said by other people, introducing the mechanics it seems would be complicated at best without revealing the entire system of gameplay. Which is why DeeJ responded about patience. They WANT to discuss mechanics, but revealing a small piece when we don't understand the rest of the systems would not bring much clarity and could even give people the wrong impression. If Bungie's timetable holds up (which so far it has held up compared to Halo 2, 3, and Reach) then they will have a huge information drop right before the beta so we know what to do when they drop us in. And unlike most betas that come out now they have said the Beta really is to test EVERYTHING, not just for bugs and exploits, but for balancing. So to me the question of when they will discuss the mechanics and take feedback from the community will be when we can play it and understand it, not when we can look at it out of context and judge it good or not without knowing how it feels to play it. I think we've all read enough "Halo sucks" posts by people who describe Halo as another boring sci-fi shooter that go on to describe it accurately but they miss the point of what makes Halo great. Words are great, numbers are great, but I want to see it all in context, and then I will tell Bungie what I think and I know they'll be listening.
