Hey Bungie, here is one you can fix pretty easily. Ya know how there are mongoloids who will go into a game and then do absolutely nothing? They just stand there and die and bring down those of us who came to have an enjoyable game.

If a player shows no input into the game for 30 seconds after start, automatic boot. Please do this for those of us who want to enjoy online play.

LOL Yeah it sucks when that happens. But Bungie cannot do something like that. What if they come back and just as they were about to pick up the controller, they get booted? Thats not really fair. If you want to fix this, just get into a 4 person party. I promise its not that hard.

What if they were to do something like PGR3 did, where inactive cars sort of faded out and couldn't collide with anything else on the road.

Yeah. Speaking of which, I am the most annoyed by players standing there doing nothing in ranked games. It's ranked... Just play and be competitive and not just stand there handing free kills to the other team.

But if it's unranked like Team Training or Big Team Battle, then I could care less really. I find idle players all the time in BTB games. In unranked games, I just do a good old fashioned BXR to betray them if they're standing still :D If I get booted, then they're there. If not then they're not.


Who cares about rank? Just play the damn game and have fun.

Rank is after all, a stupid number next to your name that just so happens to match you up with people of your skill level

theres always team swat for unranked which is loads of fun.

True as this may be, dont boot after 30 seconds. Maybe they had to go to the bathroom all of a sudden. Maybe some one called them with something important. Make it a minute or something. And do you have to win or something to enjoy the game?

I see some folks here don't understand what competition is about. I blame our "education" system which has taught most of our young males that conflict is wrong, and nobody should win because it makes the people who don't win feel icky. This is a very feminine idea, and pathetic that so many boys will become weak minded "men" who mistakenly believe this PC nonsense.

Listen up Nancy-

Competition is what drives things. The desire to be better and ultimately be best is what gives us technological advances.

If you have a game with ten players and one wins, there is one winner and nine losers. If you have a game with ten players and nobody wins, you have
no winners and ten losers.

A man approaches a game with the same attitude that he approaches life. A man's attitude towards how he handles real world situations can be observed in how he conducts himself in a game. If you have a laizzez faire attitude in a game, it will translate into your work ethos. The people who drive society and are successes are not passive wimps who just flail around, they are dedicated, focused goal oriented people, in short, they have a winning attitude.

People with a winning attitude, don't p1ss off in the middle of a game to talk with their buds or take a leak. They handle their bladder before beginning and their buds can wait the 10 minutes it takes to prosecute the battle. Nobody with any sense of decency is going to expect others to shoulder his load because of some selfish asinine reason.

I go online to play and to win. Winning is fun. Losing is for losers. Losing is not fun. If you are OK with being a loser don't go online. Set up a custom game for others who are like minded and you can have your own little online version of the Special Olympics. Don't ruin my game.

All of you need to read On Killing and On Combat by Grossman. To many of you have become gelded by PC oriented BS. You also need to read Wild at Heart. Men are supposed to fight. It is in our souls and our genes. Competition is enjoyable because deep down we are all killers. Competition is good because it allows what is best in us to surface and be made evident.

Of course they do.

Obviously the only succesful people in life are the ones that take videogames really seriously how foolish of us to not realise.

One of my Halo 3 montages.

ok, i wouldn't go as far as to say that, but we do need competition in the game. to me, that is what makes it most fun. without rank and competition, no one will even try anymore. team training has about 2-3 quitters every game and i can never even finish a full game without people betraying and commiting suicide. the most fun i've ever had in playing halo is when the games come down to the wire when getting matched against a good team and someone pulls out a victory. win or lose, i still have fun in those games. it makes for better gaming.

All games, all competitions. If you don't play to win, you can't be a winner. If you want to live in Mom's basement forever and smoke pot when not running the fry machine, be my guest.

Yes I'm sure we all feel enlightened by your total masculinity and brutal kiler instincts.

You know usually I hear that it is the people who play videogames as if it was a life or death matter that are the ones who live in their mothers basements and end up as losers.

But no it is apparently those who don't take videogames seriously that have no desire to succeed in life. If you don't care about winning at Halo then you are obciously a lazy waster who will never achieve anything in life and need to learn to be a real man and glisten in the sunlight with your manly sweat dripping down your back.

Captain Caveman and his muscly pecs say so.

Ah, if only you knew..LOL.

From your name I can see you are Chinese. I dated a Taiwainese girl when I was in medical school. Grace Chou. She had a similar attitude to your's, and we did not get along. Also because I used to tell her Taiwan was a rogue province and that it would soon be back under PRC control as it should be. Her eyes would roll back in her head when I said that. She was also a virgin at 26. Man, that was an angry woman after we solved that problem. She was pissed she hadn't started doing the nasty at 15 like a normal human being. Heh heh.

There is a reason there are no real standouts in Asian culture except for monsters like Mao and Pol Pot. You people prize a lack of individualism. No wonder you are so hostile to my words.

Funny how Asians have invented most of the things you rely on today.

Manufactured most of the things you rely on today.

Made most of the medical advancements you rely on today.

Solidly beat your precious unmatched American army in Korea.

Are one of the most respected cultures in the world.

Have one of the most widely spoken languages in the world . Not a language taken from another country then changed subtly on some spellings and pronounciations and then labelled as a different language.

Contain over 1/4 of the worlds population.

Have the worlds fastest growing economy.

Have a broad history with many discernable events and characters spanning back over thousands of years. Compared to what? A society of mongrels bred from all different cultures that landed on a continent and drove the peaceful natives out a few hundred years ago yet still many of them seem to think they are better then everyone else.

Do take a blind stab in the dark at my culture when so grossly misinformed.

I have nothing more to say to you.

I am from Bozhou Anzhou sir. Pleased to meet you.

And he said that we prize a lack of individualism .

Inferring that everyone in our country is exactly the same.
