Not really. Because as soon as all these whiners and complainers get their hands on the beta they will just find something else to whine and complain about. Like the new controls, or the new weapons, or the beta play lists, or the maps, or some other random crap that only they care about. I figured once release time came around it would turn out like this.
Isn't one of the points of a forum to give criticism when you you don't agree with someone/something? Its a forum, there is bound to be arguments/feedback on games/statement/other. Don't get me wrong, there's a certain point where this gets out of hand, especially when members flame and spam to get their point across.
Bungie will always have people asking questions, criticizing things and the like. The H3 forum and the H3 beta Forum are perfect examples of where this goes horribly wrong. What needs to happen is for the mods to enforce rules. Harshly. That will solve whats happening currently in these two forums.
Yo! Hey, Bungie! Over here!
For those that would rather talk about tweaks, instead of dealing with the tweakkerz, you should allow those that have the ideas needed for proper beta critiques into an "all-inclusive" forum, instead of dealing with the "forum n00bs"***.
People just have a natural tendency to go overboard with their problems. Like a "why me" approach. Or a "pity me" approach. Or a "the whole world is against me, and i'm the only one trying to do good things, but i have really bad luck" approach. Now, I'm not saying that there are stupid people or that there are smart(er) people, but even the ones who think they are smart can and will make mistakes based on judgement. You could be the smartest guy in the world and not know how to program an analog clock (You Don't!). You could be as smart as a brick (?) and totally pwn in Halo (1, 2, or 3).
***Examples of forum n00bs complaints (NOTE- I DON'T SAY THIS, BUT I SEE THIS SORT OF THING IN THE OTHER BETA FORUMS):
WTF? y r there no help 4 us? this game suxx cause it don't work! SELLING POWER LEVELING!!! Bungie is the devil! I think it broke my xbox, because it won't turn on when the power cord is out of the wall. do you really need crackdown to play? crackdown sux, but halo3 is cool. The devs said this patch would fix the glitch, but there's another glitch they have to fix first, or else the patch won't work. Question: "how do i play as good as that guy?" -noob. Answer: "Shoot yourself a dozen times! It's faster than grinding! lolz." -1337. Question: "it didnt work and now i have a suicide count!" -noob. Answer: "And who can you blame? You shot yourself!" -1337.
And on. And on. And on....
