Subject: Bungie is not Real

Well all I have to say is Halo CE and Halo 2 were some of if not the most best selling Xbox games because they did what they did and I think Halo CE was the best selling.Ok I just checked and Halo 2 was the best selling Xbox game Halo CE was the second best and Halo 3 says that so far it's the best selling.

Here's the list:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games #Xbox

Cortana 5 is a carbon-based lifeform that frequently visits these forums, currently residing in the United States. Practically every male on the site responds to her posts.

I see your point. But its WAR sweety. Theres a lot more than f-bombs going on; and if there isn't, its the nicest war I've ever seen. Still it's not very fitting for a game that places humanity literally a planet away from extinction.
Well then, welcome to the Halo universe, honeybuns!

If I were an UNSC marine, righting tooth and nail for humanity's survival, I'd be more focused on my job than cursing. It's curing (or lack of). What's the big deal here? Halo needed more side boobs or something... Oh wait, we've got Cortana.

I just wish Bungie took advanage of the M rating and made the Halo games more realisic (Like flesh melting after an overcharged plasma bolt, or getting appropriately sliced in half/decapitated by energy sword, or blown apart by a rocket and have gore flying everywhere). You know, cool sick s*** a la Gears of War. The physics system has always had a "floaty" sensation to me--especially while jumping. I guess Spartans are so bada** they can even take on the laws of physics. Oh yeah, and with all the chaos going on, don't you think at least one Marine would've said "F***!" at least once? in short, the Halos are barely a T rated games. I hope they address these issues in future endeavors. I know a lot of you out there feel the same. Many more will say its fine the way it is and leave it alone. I say evolve monkeys.


That's why Halo is Halo and Gears of War is a waste of time.

you guys misunderstand me. Humans can build--but we're so much better at destroying. We are destroyers. You're ignorant for not embracing your true nature. Stop trying to be so high and mighty and calling all those that embrace violence misguided deviants. Call me sick, call me barbaric--but its the truth; its in our DNA. So hold on to your illusions of censorship, but in a real, life or death confict you'd probably abandon your pacifist ways and take arms. Let's see if you can censor THAT. Your lying to yourself. Don't.

I believe you answered your own question.

Besides over the top gore is just a gimmick.

So by your logic it's wrong to try and stop being "destroyers"?

And it is also more realistic that we would destroy a game studio before building games.

  • 12.28.2010 4:31 PM PDT

Yes. Now you see. But you don't believe. Fine. When the earth is thrust into an inevitable war. You'd probably be the first to go. So weak. Living here in the West it's easy to feel safe and let your guard down. But others see that the world is on the brink of collapse. You think all the stories covered by press of countries mobilizing and making nuclear facilities is just for entertainment? That's real. And in watering down games, people like you think lightly of that dangerous situation. So really its hurting your chances of survival. You need to become desensitized and let your digital training take over. Mirror neurons. Look it up.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

The age old question is swearing necessary in a video game.

The age old answer: Nope.

No we are not. Just because it is easier to destroy does not mean it is necessary, nor does it mean that we are inherently destroyers. It takes thousands of years for a star to form, yet a black hole can destroy it in days. Destruction is easy everywhere, and it is not just limited to Humans.

That is not our true nature. It may be our nature to acquire wealth or immortality; to have religious beliefs and even compassion, and it may be our nature to pursue these to whatever end but wanton violence is not our nature.

How is this relevant to anything you have said? There are a vast number of ways in which people can find themselves in that situation. For their freedom, their friends and family, their religion, political views, even greed; but not for the sake of destruction and violence only. I am afraid that you are a part of a very small population of deluded individuals.

Yes. Now you see. But you don't believe. Fine. When the earth is thrust into an inevitable war.

There will be no inevitable war. Anarchist views like this are a plague. Anyone who thinks that tearing down a world that has taken like 6000 years and untold sacrifice to build being good fun or necessary is an animal. If that is your nature, then you are not a Human Being.

Your calling him weak? Read the part about making a choice to build rather than destroy; about choosing what is difficult over what is easy.

You are subscribing to the mass media. Nearly everything in the News and the papers is negative because they are exploiting our Human Nature for compassion. It angers us that we see people senselessly killed. So we pay attention to that and they make more money from it. Yes, you read it; compassion.

For everything negative in the world there are a million good deeds. What incites more attention: A homeless person killed or 10 people giving 10 homeless people £100? Providing the good deeds even come to light in the first place over the negative one.

If you want combat training then join the army. You are also implying that you yourself are weak by saying this. You complain about video games not conveying the real deal. You want the real deal, well join the army then. If not, then stop complaining about others not wanting excessive gore and calling them weak for it.

oh you simple charlatans. I don't want any of it--but that doesn't mean it's not there or won't happen. I'm saying is that this medium is perfect for subliminal training and should pursue it more aggressively. And I'm not weak, because I'm not gonna wait for anyone to save me because in the end you only have yourself to rely on. I'm ready. You're not. Join the Army? Beauracracy really isn't my thing.

I'm a very articulate person. In engrish.

It's never easy, is it?

So you want a ton of little kids playing the game..?

  • 12.28.2010 6:36 PM PDT

What does M rated mean as established by the ESRB?!?!?!!?!? No little kids shouldn't play! What I propose is more akin to an AO game, which would be quite refreshing. You know, for a game that's about meatheads running around blasting and stabbing each other, there seems to be quite a bit of conscientious objectors. How droll.

  • 12.28.2010 7:01 PM PDT

I, for myself, am of the age of 10. Do not get on the wrong foot, I'm not a troll. I actually get very mad when hackers/modders come into games, and want to kick...*AHEM* as I was saying, I for myself can not see why cussing must be in games. Its very weird how it must be in there, but halo isn't as bad as COD: Black Ops cussing is. its F*** there, and F*** there...

  • 12.28.2010 7:08 PM PDT

You are 10 years of age? What are you doing playing a game that has been expressly reserved for a 17+ audience? See what I mean to all you other Jedi wannabees out there? Rules and laws broken and admitted, no less on this very thread. Laws do not work. Society fails in key areas. Why? Because it is an illusion. If this kid can play a game banned to his age group, why can't we have a more visceral game? And I meant D-R-O-L-L kid.

Nope, The "Mature 17+" Means that only 17+ can buy, there is NO law against under 17 can't play, get your facts straight.

EDIT: Actually, if a person under 17 asks to purchase a M game, the worker will ask for a legal parent or guardian. See? but I actually earned Halo myself, just when it was time to buy it, I gave the money to my parent so she could buy it.

Sweety lol. He had a panda picture so i assumed it was a girl. Besides, what kind of guy would object to wanton violence?


Just saw this, you assume since I respect this ferocious and mighty beast, that I'm a woman? I'm deeply offended. I would challenge you to a gentleman's duel, but I digress.

Edit: Also throwing in F-Bombs and gore, as stated, is gimmicky and usually replaces decent dialogue or gameplay.

Yes, many boys/men like pandas. For myself, I am a dog lover, and if I were to put up pictures of puppies, would that make me a girl? I thought not.

  • 12.28.2010 7:22 PM PDT

Geez...sorry about that Rawk. Getting riled up in a heated debate about the faults of a depraved, socio-political complex and the effects on all who dwell under it--it's kind of hard to be sensitive toward something as simple as gender recognition. And yes, the panda is indeed mighty--too bad its not enough to save it from extinction.

I hardly think that beaurocracy would be running through your mind on a battlefield.

Almost everyone would be a conscientious objector to warfare for the sake of killing and destroying. Well you will live your life waiting for something that will never happen. A wasted, irritable existence.

  • 12.28.2010 7:25 PM PDT

Flame my boy. You also need a parent or guardian present when playing. I doubt you have them around all the time to supervise. You are breaking the law.

I forgive, and the panda will one day step up into it's place as king of the ecosystem.

A18. You still don't get it. But I don't expect you to. And save from what? You obviously haven't been paying attention to the last 100 years of human history.
