I'd love to slap whoever did the medals. Not because of how they look (even though they are pretty boring and generic) but because of how they are implemented. In what universe is a "Hammer Kill" medal not considered a "Close Quarters" medal? To top it off why are we giving medals for Hammer kills?
I did have all the DLC (except for Mythic II, which I don't think was available either until ODST), but even then I personally didn't have an issue.
I've had annoyances with that, too. I'd usually go Grifball before I figured that out.
That's silly as hell. Were people not paying any attention to the game before release? Wasn't this made obvious months before?
Because people were expecting Halo 4, with it's own new MM. People were just upset because it was an offshoot instead of a primary title. Looking back now though... lol
Also this ^ - it's always annoying when a company puts something you paid for on sale cheap. When it's everything at once it gets people riled up. Borderlands does that with their DLC. Bugs me to no end.
Silly doesn't stop people from posting in forums. And it doesn't really matter what people knew - it's what they wanted. Just like with Reach and 4 they wanted a sequel to 3. Reach and Halo 4 are decent games. They're just fundamentally different from Halo CE, 2, and 3. Basically every Halo title released since Halo 3 has had a clamoring for it to be a Halo 3 continuation of sorts. ODST was a totally different kind of game, and some people were irked by that. That's just the internet though. There's always somebody unhappy, and this is their platform to be heard from.
I don't understand why they made those changes. They also got rid of the Sword and Hammer Spree medals.
Let's not forget about the Perfection medal.
They took away a lot of additions from Reach. *looks at Forge and Theater*
At least ODST has a lot of appreciation now. Time will only tell with Reach and 4.
They could just null out the Anniversary Multiplayer Demo menu option and remove the title from the disc image.
Alternately, just drop support for the Anniversary Multiplayer Demo.
The whole single disc shit was apparently due to blowback over ODST being 60$. In the end though, Reach would have been better off if Anniversary just included a code for the map pack. There's levels of goodness:
Best: Separate disc with the entire multiplayer suite. Reach's DLC availability would have massively increased; Halo 3 didn't have a majority of the playerbase with DLC until the ODST disc, and within a couple of months the majority of players were playing via the disc.
Good: Just include a code for the Anniversary map pack with Anniversary. While people without enough space couldn't play the maps, it would have at least kept the Reach playerbase unified and everyone in Anniversary-centric playlists could be counted on having and being able to use Reach disc maps, especially Forge World.
Decent: Include the Anniversary Map Pack disc, but also include Forge World as a "bridge map" between the two discs. This would have given Anniversary Blood Gulch for 'free', and access to all the FW H1 remakes.
Meh: Same as above, but also allow the Anniversary disc to load Noble and Defiant map packs (I have no idea why Anniversary doesn't load them, it goes every sort of player usability and business sense) (and makes even less sense when you realize Anniversary has Defiant achievements you can only unlock if you have the Anniversary maps)
WTF: Ship a disc that splits Reach multi into separate universes and make it so you can't even mark Reach disc maps as optional.
.... aw crap, I'm getting started on the Anni disc again.
No. MGS1 for Playstation.
YES!
Yes. But play MGS3. It's the best one.
I'm 210msp short from being able to get it with the HD collection...

Twin Snakes Wii/Dolphin if your PC can handle it.
MGS2 HD Collection
MGS 3 HD Collection
MGS Peace Walker HD collection
MGS4 (PS3)
MGR:R (Xbox)
Note: Twin snakes gets much undeserved shit. Cutscenes feel much more inline with the craziness of the rest of the franchise. Gameplay is improved because of the MGS2/3 Controls and the environments all look better.
Its basically the CE:A of the metal gear franchise. Fantastic all round package that people dislike because they don't like change.

I feel bad because I keep forgetting about it.
If you really wanna get into the series and appreciate it, play MGS1 first.

how can I play MGS1? Are there any good emulators?
Dolphin emulator with gamecube copy of MGS1 called Twin Snakes.
Ew no. Original PS1 version is the way to go. I guess Twin Snakes is an okay substitute, but if you have a choice I'd definitely say go with the original.

Also the sniper headshot medal and sniper spree. Instead we get 3 different medals for sniper kills. If I wanted to know how many beam rifle kills I have I would look at weapon stats, not medals
Fallout 3? Boring? No way.
MGS1 man. MGS2 is the best in the series. 3 is pretty cool. Pretend 4 doesn't exist.
Peace Walker isn't bad.
E: Ignore whoever said Twin Snakes. That game is a sack of garbage.
Turrible French opinions. MGS3 is the best.

so is there a good PS1 emulator?
Fallout 3 is amazing.
While 3 is pretty cool, the general theme of Memes and the meaning behind the story of MGS2 beats any other game.
It'd be much easier (and cheaper) to find a copy of Twin Snakes if you weren't to resort to piracy.
I'm not saying it's the best, but it works.

It was a very shallow game. Worst boss fights in the series.
MGS 1 and MGS3 had more personality to them compared to MGS2. Maybe something just rubbed me the wrong way with that game.
It's ok that you didn't understand the game. Tons of people didn't
I don't kiss French guys.
You only French kiss guys.
Good thing I'm not French. Get over here lover boy

I hate how on Landfall, Forklifts aren't destructible or even moveable without man cannons. 
Because LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD.

How on earth are we making the argument that a second disc is equivalent to a $20 increase in price?
Discs are cheap as shit, man.
