I’m disappointed with something I saw over Xbox Live a few days ago. I’m well aware that the crudeness over Live and the maturity that’s needed just to stand half the dumb wits on Live but what I heard was pretty strange. While playing some slayer with a few of my good buddies, we matched against a couple of people who somehow attained the recon armor. While playing we noticed how two of them had the sweetness reeking off them. I’m a pretty polite guy, and I wont bring up stuff to strangers unless I feels its relevant to the situation so I didn’t even ask them how they got their recon armor, all I said was Quote "Man that recon armor looks kick ass, nice job on getting that". Their response, which was filled more with "words" and references to my mother and sister I might add, "To bad you can’t get it you nub. Why don’t you go...? Your mother plays better then you and she’s even better in the..." There is more but I would have to edit out the stupid so much it probably wouldn't make sense. Once again I’m a respectful guy, I like to be social but using foul language isn’t the words I need to express myself, same with my friends. So we just reminded them about the maturity involved to be the bigger people over Xbox Live.
Now this is why I’m posting this. I know Bungie doesn’t have complete control over who they give the armor too, but hopefully they have people represent the minds that went into this game, not the portion of ridiculously moronic members of the Bnet society. This isn’t a plea for Bungie saying "Can I have a recon", or else I would have said only that like the rest of us. All I’m saying is there should be some measures taken to point out the mature members and promote them in a good way. I know you can’t see that 12 year old younger kid getting picked on then someone inside the room standing above and telling the 17 year old to stop, because man that 3 year difference is clearly too much. I’m sure there is a way to find a few members who bestow respect to everyone through Xbox Live. Like the way it should be.
PS: Below is the link to the game, BiaBooster is my gamer tag for my friends so I don’t have to play slayer on this higher ranking account.

Thanks guys for hearing me out, hopefully some of you agree with me when I’m saying this.
