By "turning America into an unsafe place" do you mean to accuse the Democrats, one of which is behind this?

Turns out I have been hallucinating when Nog is listening to Vince Fontaine and sharing a room with Jake.

This whole time I remembered that as a Wesley episode.

At least I only have to worry about seeing Wesley for only one episode.

EDIT: Actually I dont have to worry about him at all, because I was hallucinating one episode ans replacing Nog with Wesley for some reason.

Nah, they were new bugs, not ones present in the original game. Bugs in the original graphics mode that made some parts too dark and others too bright, for example. Or the wrong texture being used on the wrong surface. That kind of thing.

I don't mind if bugs from the original release are left in there. IMO, if it was part of the experience back when the game was new and was never fixed, then unless its some egregious error that could brick your console or PC, I think it should be left in exactly as it was. But new bugs that were only present in the Anniversary and later MCC releases, that's just embarrassing for 343/Halo Studios.

Bugs, for one. So many, many bugs. Bugs that remained unfixed for years.

Also, graphics. I don't mean fidelity, because fidelitywise they were pretty good for the time. I mean the complete change in art style. Anything forerunner became riddled with lines that made the designs overly busy. The reuse of Reach assets instead of actually remaking the assets to match the original game. Its like at that point, are they even remastering the game? Not to mention how many changes to the environment models were inaccurate enough to cause players to try to shoot through or walk through invisible collision geometry of the original game.

Its so unfortunate that 343 messed up CE Anniversary so badly. But at least they did a lot better with Halo 2 Anniversary (though that is also not without its issues).

Now with a rebrand to Halo Studios, which was 100% caused by their poor stewardship of the series and the ruining of their own reputation beyond redemption, 343 will have to super-over-deliver with whatever they come out with next.

And I pray it is not a CE Remake. They messed it up already once before, just leave it alone and do something different with Halo. Make ODST 2 or some new story about a new Spartan entirely, I am tired of my favorite characters and stories being butchered these days.

Game should be free by now. Who is going to buy this knowing its servers will be shut down sometime in the near future?

I love Elden Ring and the SotE DLC, but Elden Ring should not be elligible for GOTY again. The only reason I can see this is that Geoff wants a redo for Miyazaki after the "reformed Jewish Rabi Joe Biden" fiasco. So if this is the case the SotE will probably get awarded GotY, despite my feeling that it should not qualify for that.

World at War was the best one, what do you mean?

Though I stopped at WaW, then played Advanced Warfare (which was cool I guess), Infinite (which I actually really liked), and WW2 (which was honestly pretty bad especially by comparison to WaW).

People are offering to pay as a hyperbole to try to tell Activision how much they want to disable the skins. Nobody actually is willing to pay extra for that. Its like dangling a carrot in front of a corporations face.

"We want to do X so badly, we are willing to pay for it," which translates to " We want to do X so badly, we are willing to do the last possible option that we want in order to be able to do X."
