This is a rant I *sorta* copied from my post in the HaloPlanet forums. Apparently they are dead, so I'm reposting it here to get a little more publicity.
---------------------------------------------------------------
[TITLE] a rant about the worst problem in halo multiplayer, EVER.
It's not the physics. (which are perfect...)
It's not the netcode. (which is good)
It's not even the banshees. (which suck)
It's a player. How can a single player be the worst problem ever? Simple.
He goes on, and starts shooting teammates. When they shoot back, he throws a nade, jumps on it, and dies, which the game reads as a betrayal against the other innocent player. He does this multiple times, and has gotten literally DOZENS of innocent players banned.
He lives in the bungie public servers, which are never admin'd, and lives there for a LONG time, (I've seen him, on the same day, in a server at 10:00am, 2:00pm, 6:00pm, and 12:00midnight. Those were only the times i checked, supposively he was in there continuously...).
His name has inspired others to create fake, mocking names in his honor, not that he goes by a one name all the time, but there IS one name he prefers, (i will reveal the name in due time, calm down...)
Sometimes, he even joins servers named AS good, honorable players, I've seen him as foxroar, ALASKAMIKE, (#1)Valgina, and many others. I know it was him becuase at the end of everything he says, he repeats the last letter to the max say length, filling up every player's screen with his text.
Amazingly, this is not all on his list of amazing talents. He knows about the banlimits, and he abuses it. He will tk a couple guys, exit, and rejoin after a few seconds. This resets the ban count on him, and he resumes tking.
His name, ladies and gentlemen... okay just gentlemen... is ME THE KING, or (ME)=KING, or some other variation of the same name.
So, to recap, he:
1.) Tk's FAR beyond the tk autoban limit.
2.) Gets other innocent players banned.
3.) Joins named as honerable players to hurt their reputation.
4.) Spams the screen making it difficult for others to see.
And he does this ALL THE TIME.
Now maybe you're saying, "why dont you just join a different server?" A large problem with that way of thinking is that it, in effect, lets him win. He WANTS to ruin players' playing experiences, he WANTS players to get sick and leave, and WANTS players to get banned.
Secondly, I live 10 miles from bungie HQ, so I get like 33 ping on those servers.
Now I rather like bungie's no-admin servers, but this kid takes it to another level. Someone NEEDS to step in, becuase I don't like relying on karma to deal out justice, (hopefully by some very deadly, painful disease.) He may have paid $50 for the game, but he does NOT deserve it. You don't get the right to ruin other players' fun just by owning the game. Tking is a problem in halo, granted, but by FAR he has abused the code and taken the problem of tking to another level. Some sort of justice needs to be done here, because his non-stop flagrant abuse of team combat is not just a nuisance, it will ruin a game entirely. Changing to a different bungie public server won't help either, becuase he moves around periodically.
But what can you do? No more halo updates, so the serious gameplay issues here will never be fixed, (as in the tk count resetting if a player leaves then rejoins...) And there will never be admins in the bungie public servers, even to ban this one individual forever.
I love halo, I think it's the funnest game that has come around in a long, long time. It's sad that some individuals like ruining others' fun...
But as I said, what can you do?
Sorry for the long ass post, I just needed to say that.

I figure that I can get hopefully a little more exposure here, and in effect bring together some individuals in an effort to get this kid permanently BANNED for his flagrant abuse of all that is holy and good.
