haha been sometime since i posted on these threads. Since I lost my actual user name ill just use this one :) so my post is gonna be a lil random and all tangents so please bare with me hehe
people cheat for overall the same reason. They wanna be the "first" in "insert rank/skill/armor/etc. here". Its pretty funny, for the last 2 years in halo 2 I didnt play a game of ranked matchmaking just strictly custom games. I actually had alot of fun just doing that. Rather then the head ache of dealing with cheaters and bad mouthing 12 year olds that thing they got a huge pair. Halo 3 is gonna be no different in respect to cheating. There is no such thing as 100% fool proof way of preventing cheating, and im perfectly ok with that. Alot of players i run across are disgruntled about Halo 3 with the laggy games and "slower" game pace. I cant help but laugh and just tell them how stupid it is to be even annoyed with that. Its a game and because this game was produced by other people, it CANT be 100% perfect 100% of the time. I dealt with lag modders/standbyers/boosters/bridgers for a VERY long time. Since all these modes of cheating popped up from the ashes of stupidity, bungie has made regular updates to deal with it. First with the halo 2 1.1 update which also came with the "blue screen" to prevent people from standbying to COMPLETELY ruining the game to the banhammer to the anti-bridging update. (funny random tid-bit the banhammer & hurrican Katrina thread was the last few threads i read/posted in)
The reason I even bother bring any of this up is because i hear other people all the time knock bungie and what they have done with Halo series and the gameplay since halo 1. Players need to see that Bungie could in fact just sit on their a$s and not update anything. People already bought the game so why should they care if "ohh I shot someone in the head and they killed me with a single nade..." or "i went to go beatdown someone and all my melee's went through them..." ill tell ya, I wouldnt care. However the fact is wither through contractual obligation or just because they wanna be loyal to their core community, they have continued to undate and try to "fix" the problems that either they caught behind the scenes or through someones complaint. Now I hear about this EXP "juicing" and complaining about armor. Cmon people. seriously, im sure there are far more important things going on in your life that needs your attention. If people want to "cheat" to jump up in the ranks, thats fine. who cares. I dont, ill earn my rank through hard fought wins and I dont need anyone else approval. As for the bungie armor, why is that even an issue?? There are gonna be future updates that im sure will contain new achievements and maybe new armor or something along those lines. The Game JUST came out, be patient. I had a couple friends that within the first 3-4 days did all the achievements. I hae yet to play a single game of ranked ffa, and I also have yet to beat the game on legendary. Not that I cant do these things but after I finish all these achievements, what is there to do after that. exactly, wait for the next update an hope that there is something achievement related. People just need to learn that the world(as shocking as this is) DOESNT revolve around you. I know it, im sure you(the reader) know it. The thing is you gotta accept it.
To summirize for the people that got lost in my endless rambling (yes even I got lost in that incoherent mess, but im too lazy to go over and focus my points so ill just do this)
1. Halo 3 has its faults. GET OVER IT
2. The Bungie employee armor ISNT unlockable and WONT be released atm
3. Most of us are veterans to BS in matchmaking so dont complain about old issues when they have been brought up more times then the total magnification of a electron microscope
4. Halo 3 was just released 2 weeks ago. be content with that fact. -_-"
5. bungie employee's arent robots as much to the dislike to others. They have work hours and they (maybe) have families at home and probably dont wanna work on game 24/7
just to finish up this post.
I am....
...NOT kissing bungie's a$s im stating something that needs to be said. I can careless if they see this or not. I wont get any special treatment either way.
...NOT 100% right all the time. This is based on my own bias opinion of playing and meeting other players and hearing their bickering with my own experiences thrown into the mix.
...NOT ghey
...NOT the best player in halo(2)(3)
...NOT flaming anyone just saying what I felt needed to be said
...REALLY bored :)
Thanks for reading my book of a post =p
