-She just kinda decided that the Covenant were terrorists with less advanced technology than us and completely stripped away the feeling of desperation that sparked the heroic side of gamers for almost a decade.
-Whilst writing extended fiction for Star Wars, not only did she dumb down characters created by other writers of the universe to make hers look better, but she also went out of set fiction from books and the movies. When confronted with this, she nick-named her supporters "Fandalorians" like the Mandalores (See: Boba and Jango Fett), and called those who even questioned her writing "Talifans" like the Taliban. To push it even further, she went so far as to note that people that were fans of the Jedi, were no different than Nazi sympathizers, and shortly after left the Star Wars genre, leaving many plot holes in her fiction.
-She player hates on Dr. Catherine Halsey and makes her out to be a completely anti-social, over agressive hag, when she's been known to be affectionate and a pseudo mother to the Spartans, let alone having her own daughter. Not only did she write Halsey as threatening an innocent and harmless Engineer she KNEW was no threat, Traviss also wrote her currently as defecting from the UNSC and assisting Storm "Terrorist" efforts.

-She makes the claim on her website about Gears of War 3, stating "So don't let my efforts be in vain. You will play, and you will love it." when fan reviews in general prefer the story behind the second game. In my opinion, which I held even before I knew who Traviss was, I thought the story seemed a desperate attempt at standing alone, with no help from the superior story from the first or second game. Questions are left asked, even if you read the books or comics, and a lot of the tear-jerkers either feel forced, or are because of the death of already loved characters. Not to mention, a certain loved character's death is super stereotypical and done.
-She's a bitch and I'm not letting go of Nazi comment.
-Her plot lines are ridiculous and sometimes just kinda out there. She's already known to misuse set characters, so I want her nowhere near my Halo.

- Spoiler:
- She had Requiem blow the fuck up. Seriously? That was where Halo 4 was centered around. That's fucking stupid.
