I'm a Freelancer, but I'm curious to see how many people are in a clan. Many people in the classifieds just make random advertisements saying how "they are the best" even though they let anyone in. no tests... no nothing. I go to the classifieds again, and before Halo2 even is out, every clan has a rival clan. Flame wars and all, saying how great they are... I go there again, and now I find that Rival clans send SPIES into the other clan seeing what their plans are! Yes you heard right... SPIES!!! They have rankings and everything, medals, awards, etc etc. I personally think its sad... why can't people wait for the game... when it makes the most sense to even make a clan...

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Having spies it completely idiotic. I think it's a good idea to be in a clan before Halo 2 arrives, so you know exactly who you'll be practicing with, and you can know your teammates a little bit better.

now you say you know what your team is like right? You know that everyone in here will lie about how good they are right? They might say they are a good driver, infantry, sniper, but truly they suck at all of those. almost 95% of clans I have seen are like this... so when they start, you might place that "so called" good sniper somewhere, and find out he's missing every shot. You have a group for defense, but they also suck. You soon find out, that your defenses had crumbled against 2 people in a warthog, that had already stolen the flag twice. That is how it is going to be for almost every clan. As for me, if I make a clan, it will be with me and my friends only.

I think the whole clan idea is idiotic. Sure, you can have friends and set teams for team games, but whole clans with rankings? Seriously.

You have a good point Lifeforce. That's why my clan will be practicing for a couple weeks to a month in MP games. If it takes longer, then I'm willing to spend as much time as it takes to make sure my clan can hold their own. And if most of the other clans are just as bad, I don't think we'd need to worry about getting taken down by a couple people and a Hog. They'd be just as bad as we are. =) (Not saying that every clan is horrible.)

Yea, clans don't work for games with such an immature fan base.

Why is it that you keep bringing the subject of clans up anyway Lifeforce? If you don't like them, try and stay out of the Classifieds. It may be stupid to you, but other people think differenty. Let the people who think they're the greatest get owned on their own. It shouldn't be your duty to warn them and tell them that they're most likely going to get their asses handed to them.
