Folks, THIS is the very kind of thing that is just RUINING the Halo franchise. I have to say that myself and my friends ALL expected this to unlock IMMEDIATELY. Not later, not a week or two from now.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I&#8217;m mildly thankful we get a special emblem, but honestly, it&#8217;s not all that big of a deal. What is though is the manner in which it was &#8216;advertised&#8217; and then to be administered.<\/p>\n<p>Why didn&#8217;t 343 SAY it would unlock a week or two from now? You know why&#8230;because we&#8217;d have all griped about it before hand. Instead 343 once again doesn&#8217;t bare enough info and once again it pisses off fans. When will they learn you just shouldn&#8217;t MUCK with your fan base like this?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I hear those of you saying, but it&#8217;s something free. Or be thankful. As I said, I am. But seriously, 343 needs to get their shit together. If you&#8217;re going to promote an item unlockable through your game for having played a game on a specific date, then it&#8217;s DAMN SAFE to assume most if not all expect that item to unlock once they&#8217;ve reached the criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Now for those who say it&#8217;s not possible&#8230;Really? Look at challenges. Daily, weekly, monthly challenges. They are all times events that have locked in dates\/times as to when you can accomplish them. <strong>THIS IS NO DIFFERENT<\/strong>. Instead of XP, we get an emblem. You&#8217;d have to think someone thought enough ahead to make this a timed feature too.<\/p>\n<p>Once again this leads me to ask <strong>WHO IS MAKING THE DECISIONS<\/strong> at 343?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you still have time to unlock the Guilty Spark Emblem.
