In Response To: Chaos' Official Response... READ ME! (Mr. Matrix)

Sending an annoying e-mail to a company does not qualify as prying information. You might aswell have been a acne covered thirteen year old nagging the PR machine for information that you could tell your snotty little friends.

No consequence? Listen. You are stating incorrect information. Nothing anyone says results in any consequence in regards to any title! The so called "Preview" is providing information that people assume is legit, especially when posted on a company website, such as gamerscentral. The 'consequence' is that you are misleading innocent readers.

Never payed much attention to the storyline? Go play Doom or Quake. That would suit you much more. Maybe if you stopped to read the story you would understand how to get through the maps.

Well Marathon, Marathon 2, and Marathon Infinity are all "on the shelf" and you managed to still state the information regarding those games incorrectly. You only played M2 but dared assume it was the same for two other titles? How do I know you are not going to run through the Halo world and never stop to read the story as you did with M2?

The point of that statement is to make others aware of your inability to "Preview" games and make you aware of the fact aswell. You spent no time on this article and you should not be able to post such garbage especially under the title of "gamerscentral". Even the darkest, most scantily filled forums have more legitimate information than you, Derk. Stop writing, if not for us, for the children.
