complaining about something when it got cut early on in a game's development is actually really retarded

Maybe people are "throwing a fit", because it represents the rest of Halo 4's uncut and grotesque additions/inspirations perfectly.  Just a thought.

I just want to play games....

So something that no longer exists represents tangible features in a game?

It accurately represents where those tangible features got their inspirations from, yes.

You honestly think they built a prototype of a killstreak and then decided to add in custom loadouts and unlockables because of that now non-existent feature?

I feel like everyone here is a bit dense on the reasons behind Halo 4's "radical" changes.

I didn't say those new features were derived from killstreaks.  I'm saying that they are all bastardized products of 343's entire design direction, and are united by the exact same inspiration.  This only makes it more clear the extent they went to, and the time they spent on implementation, in order to clone CoD/generic shooters.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess the people that are "throwing a fit" aren't too pleased with the final product for what it is, not for what was tested and scrapped.  It's not even a gripe about that one specific cut mechanic, even though you treat it like it is, but rather about all of the mechanics that did make the cut, and were drawn from the exact same source.

I don't get how you can look at this, and not understand how someone could possibly be upset with a direction that a form of media took and be a little disgusted when they see something furthering that (relatively) godawful direction.

Also, It's cute how you consider "the fuck?", "glad they scrapped it", and "why..." as "everyone having a fit".  Bit too defensive, there.
