Something felt weird to me about all the built in maps being straigt from campaign. Just throwing out that observation.
ODST is all about switches, isn't it?

Wrong - the maps were made first for Multiplayer and were then applied to the campaign. That's why they either don't play well on the campaign or aren't, at all, used.

If it's true, then all I have to say is this: Bungie must not have even tried on the campaign.

I meant that because there was no variety in the maps, multiplayer has been pretty dull.

Do post your feelings about the quality of the MM maps in a thread creted for their cause.
Anyway,
I think it's a bit weird to give all this stuff so easily...Do these flames and stars last only for a limited time or what?

It's like this:
Bungie: "Hey, we're leaving this series, so let's just throw it all away by giving people exclusives!"
343: "You do know someone else is taking over this series right?"

Are you implying that they can't worry about both?

Aesthetics or not, the do matter. If they wouldn't care, why not just give everyone everything? Good way to ruin all the little value they have and truly make them aesthetics.

You mean like they already did  ???

And @Scat: They could worry about adding Master Chief's codpiece for all I care, but what has more importance?

Most of the stuff found in armory still requires a certain amount of credits to purchase. If one wouldn't care AT ALL, they would give people Haunted and Security helmets for free.

Though now that I've thought about it: Since the Star nameplate and Blue Flames were Bungie's thing, they get to decide what to do with them, right?

They do, but that doesn't make it right.

That's the armory though. You get what you payed for.

Would you rather get to Inheritor just to have everyone capable of getting it, or send in a mediocre picture to an All Stars competition where there is 117 winners in that specific competition, and then find out that people who play in a playlist 5 times unlock another playlist where they can get the same star? Which was rarer in the first place?
