343 fucked up putting Blue Team in the games, as now they have to explain themselves to people like you why they're not in them any more. A simple "oh, they're off on different, equally important missions" would suffice. My suggestion wasn't a demand - it was a suggestion that if they wanted to use characters like those they should make them easter eggs that you see when you play co-op.

343 will never be able to please everyone. There's always someone who's personally offended by minor story details in games, instead of just enjoying the gameplay.

But that will never be enough to the sort of people who write an a4 page whining about something theoretical.
