The Master Chief's visor is orange because it blocks out sunlight, not because he's gay.
Since when has gold (or orange for that matter) been gay? If MC is gay because of that, then so is all the damn astronauts in their EVA suits.
Another thing i absolutely hate is that now gamers a split between the shooters (COD and Halo) and the others. My brother used to bash me about being a avid gamer. Of course, i played everything from Fighting to shooters to JRPG and he'd go all "such a friggin nerd" about it. Now, he borrows MY console and plays MY game on MY accounts. Games that he had bashed before when i played them.
It makes me angry that now people who play COD still insist on making the other gamers feel like shit. I do not know WHY the still feel the need to make another line to distinguish themselves and diverse gamers.
