Never have kids. (Destiny)

But what if you couldn't play Halo, but instead were forced to play Halo Anniversary? You can't even play the Destiny campaign the same way that you used to.

Honestly, fine. No skin off my nose. It feels weird inside, but I can count the number of times I've played Halo seriously on one hand since 2009. I've popped in for some easy mode campaign play, but other than that pretty much nothing.

Cody, you must remember that the always online nature of the game is what enables it to be so good. It keeps it balanced. It keeps new things happening. It keeps us all social and playing together.

You only talk about things we lost, not things we gained.

Imagine children. To forum version of Cody Miller, it's all downsides.

We lose:

• Money
  
• Freedom to go where we want and when
  
• The ability to be reckless with our lives
  
• Rated R movies in the living room
  
• The ability to mow the lawn without the danger of mowing up a ninja turtle
  
• Being able to keep guns in an unlocked safe
  
• Freedom to swear constantly
  
• Late nights out and no babysitter
  
• Sunday mornings taking them to church when we've stopped bothering 10 years ago.

Of course, talk to a parent, and all of that is small potatoes and kids are the best thing ever, unless they've stepped on a LEGO block in the past 5 minutes.

For fuck's sake, dude. The game is great BECAUSE of its always online nature. There are always tradeoffs. Deal with it, and quit only bringing up the bad stuff. Get your head out of your ass and play the game, don't look for new stuff to bitch about.
