It's clearer than daylight that online petitions are worthless. Might as well make a poll asking the question. Both have the same effect.. something worthless to vote on. So, yes, speaking on online petitions and such, they are a ridiculous attempt to get attention. Not saying you made it or anything, but they are.
In regards to Halo 1.5.. I would probably buy, but Bungie should concentrate on the third, than listen to a few people complain and slow production time involved in the third one. Bungie loves their fans, but in every single game that comes out, there will be people who don't like it, and those people just need to move on. <
