Well, if any of you doubt we've had a time line of the MAW. The Golden age, the time where we were all in our highest level, having genius over the other forums and having a useful community for both people new to the game and computers as a whole. However, around February of last year, Halo 2 vista was announced, and we all know what Halo 2 brings, noobs. They invaded the forum and drew even our finest members to their limits with constant "(4n 1 rµn v1$74" threads. Though I can't blame us for hating people, we started hating everyone. We were spiteful of any new person and even our fellow MAWzors. However, I've noticed a recovery. Threads are coming up where, only a couple of weeks ago we would have been flaming and insulting away, we are now showing more support and kindness. Even Obi-Wan has become...bearable....

But anyway, I just want to keep encouraging it. Hooray for niceness! =D

Really? I must be slipping. Or maybe I'm a little mellower for reasons I can not discuss.

Indeed. I have a very dark theory...Just like what happened with Xbox...

H2V...will bring little whiny kids...to PC!!!

*runs*

You know that reminds me of Red vs. Blue with the 7 year olds in beaver creek.
*joins Zero in running*

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Why run when you can drive? Or better yet stand your ground and fight (and die either a hero's death or a fools).

Yeah I came here after the flood became boring. Before that I played halo pc and lurked these forums under a different name. Anyway, I hope these forums remain still Halo 1 for PC, as I don't want to see the community split, or have maw gatherings going to h2vista.

It's inevitable, like republicans and democrats, they both suck, and they both make things harder than they should be.

Ever since H2V was announced, all hell has been breaking loose. Not only is H2 the dumbest sequel to Halo (that's why I'm dissappointed it's coming out for PC), but our forums were invaded by both New mombassa retards, and newbies everywhere going "0mg, can my intel c@rd run it??!?!?11". Not to mention we've been hating each other more often.

I haven't seen much hating against fellow MAWers. Just with the new kids that blatantly run into this forum, press "create new thread," bang on the keyboard, and click submit.

Also, Halo 2 coming to the PC is good. What, you don't think those that were disappointed with the sequel aren't going to mod the hell out of it so it can actually live up to being a real sequel?

The game isn't bad, I hate it when people say that. The only reason most people hated it was because of hit boxes and auto aim. Those are GONE now, thus we can't really say that Halo 2 sucked because we have yet to see it the way it was meant to be played.

So, what, we just sit back and imagine? I don't think so. Hit boxes and auto aim aren't the only problems too. Infinite sword ammo, lunging, button combo exploits, map balance, weapon balance, the story, and no fall damage seem to be what really made the game bad, not just increased auto aim and larger hit boxes.

QFGDMFT.

Not to mention our favorite M6D scoped pistol, and our oh-so wonderful lag/lead feature will be missing.

I also think Halo 2 will have the unfortunate trait of attracting vast amounts of racist, homophobic, screaming adolescents (more so than on most online games) to the PC...

I would be so pissed if 6 year kids DO prevail, and actually end up getting a Vista OS by whining to their parents.There will be ALOT of sword hogging, racial/homophobic remarks spewing little kids running everywhere around Headlong and Coag if this happens. Like 28 Days Later...

I doubt it. And I said the main problems with Halo 2, there are lots of others, but the main problems are hitboxes and auto aim. I doubt we're going to have 6 year olds in h2v, simply because most six year olds don't have vista.

  • 04.30.2007 5:46 PM PDT

Slaying noobs since 2007.

I don't know, maybe, hopefully there won't be any six year olds, but unfortunatly there will be atleast one because their parents don't know how to say no.

Six year olds? Come on fellas. Let's be a little real: an overwhelming majority of social problems associated with multiplayer online gaming are caused by pre/young teenagers. We all know it. No offense, but it's the truth. Though that isn't to say that some aren't mature enough to interact beyond their age-level peers, becuase there are. But the truth is, IMO, kids, age 11-15, are causing the problems. Maybe that's why the ESRB was created...

Flame on!

Cheers.

I don't think so many littel kids will be on H2V because not too many parents would go out and buy their little angel a $1200+ pc to play. Also, little kids don't have the patience to work well with computers and get easily confused of what things like "servers" and "admins" are. The headset isnt the only way to communicate in H2V and I think most users will use the standard text chat, so atleast screaming voices won't be so abundant.

I think I figured out why I'm so nice. Today was the first day of motorcycle season. It's the closest thing to flying, sex, and drug use you'll ever get without seeing the inside of an airline bathroom or jail cell. Only downside being the fact that all the little kids run to the side of the road and scream at you when you ride by. Really aggravating, makes me wanna crush thier heads under my tire like a rotten eggplant....

Kind of went a little overboard, like I'm prone to doing on the first ride. That is, if you think 140 in a 40 zone is overboard.

Hopefully some cool person will manage to get halo 1 stuff in halo 2 creating "halo 2 vista Halo 1"
It will be just like halo PC except...now there will be no lag and it will look even better due to things like hi-res textures, lighting and that type of stuff
not to mention AA and AF : )

I say kids that are around 14-15 that are MATURE can play, I'm sixteen, but I started playing at fourteen, and I'm mature.

Nah, I dislike halo 2 because the gameplay sucks. A lot of the maps are like playing Blood Gulch with AR start. The non respawning good weapons(sniper,shotty, rockets, etc.) is nothing but stupid, and means that a game can be decided in 30 seconds by the team/person who manages to grab the above weapons. Anyway, back on topic. I have a feeling most of the people we'd rather not have on here would rather play the game on xbox because an xbox is obviously more powerful, is cheaper, and you can play on tv/couch. (shh don't tell them)

Back off topicish: HALO ONE PISTOL IS COMING TO H3!!!! (yes the one with scope and explosive bullets!)

No, it's not. Frankie has already confirmed and killed the hopes of the MLGers; there will be no scope and it won't be anything like the H1 pistol.
