Re: New Halo Preview is awful

In Response To: Re: New Halo Preview is awful (Gorehead)

Personaly I have never cared that much about grammer or spelling on the web unless it is to the point that it is a strugle to understand. Does it really matter that much to you? The point of the Web is to communicate information, not to have a gramtical check on everyone. To an extent I can understand your feelings due to the fact that there is no new information, however any positive press is good press. The more poeple say they think Halo will be good the better. Also who says the preview is for the Halo fans (who already know everything about it that has been released) and the Halo fans alone? There are people who don't sit at home and stare at Bungie's page for any new information who need a sum up. As for speculuation, whats wrong with it. Isn't it a reporter's job to tell the public what might happen to a game? By definiton nothing in a previewed game is final, so what's wrong with speculation as long as it isn't promised?
