You are now awarded "points" for doing certain actions in-game through your second play through. Kill a Grunt? 100 points. Oh, with a headshot? That's an extra 50. Stuck a Brute? Well that's like 750 right there!
As long as it does NOT take away from the gameplay experience whatsoever, and is handled completely behind-the-scenes, it might be kind of cool. Otherwise my hate for it still stands. The idea of "points" in a Halo game is just hard to imagine.
I voted for points, I'm horrible at that stuff. It might be okay, as long as it doesn't make you go fast. I like to take things S-L-O-W. Also, you better not have to get a certain score to get armor permutations.

Seeing the Chief's face would be abomitable. I would have said 'possibility of no Arbiter', but he's in it for sure, so I'm good. (I'd only play Co-op anyway)
And I also said Metagame because of the possibility steve mentioned above.
