Subject: A request to everyone in the Universe forum.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

So, over the past few months I've been using the Universe forum as refuge from the public forums (which are dominated by morons who can't tell left from right). I come here to settle down and have a well thought-out debate with members here on matters in the Halo universe.

The HALO universe. Why is this forum now becoming a place for these ridiculous "versus" threads which have taken over the past dozen pages?

It's not what this forum is for, I mean before Reach came out we just had the Star Wars one running, at least there was a degree of intelligent discussion in that. Now I'm seeing Halo vs COD, Halo vs Starcraft, Halo vs Gears (etc).

My request is simple. Stop. Take your versus discussions where they belong, the Flood forum was designed for that sort of thing, this is supposed to be about the Halo/Marathon/ONI and other Bungie games.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Not only that, but discussions that clearly belong in the Reach forum have been flooding here. It really bothers me because this is probably my favorite forum.

Exactly. I don't understand how people cannot see that there are certain forums for certain types of discussion; questions about rank and armour belong in the Reach forum, not here.

Discussions are needed, not rabid smashing bricks over each others heads like some of those versus threads are.

Wake me when the jews are gone.

it's because they lost popularity in the oder forums so the Troll's kid's ETC come here

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

I guess the best method of dealing with issues like these, is to not reply and let it die.

Hey! That rhymes!

I already posted a thread in the Community forum about this. I'm hoping to get a moderator's attention but it looks like its being ignore. I get the impression the mods don't care about the Uni. As far as I'm aware versus threads are against the rules but from what I have seen reporting doesn't do anything.

I just play for fun. MLG can kiss my ass.

I think that people just can't read forum titles. I tolerate the vs threads to a degree, but now fanboys from other games are coming on here. Have you the Mufasa vs Master Chief thread? It's full of kids or idiots, depending on who you ask.

Boo hoo.
The halo vs gears thread is good and has good discussion, Halo vs. gears ground units is closer than halo vs. star wars.

How is it stupid exactly? If half of a thread is about another fictional universe not created by Bungie then it has no relevance to Halo/Oni/Marathon etc. canon, and therefore has no place in the Bungie Universe forum.

Hey OP, edit your first post. You say HALO universe, however this forum can be used to discuss ANY of Bungie's many game Universes including: Marathon, Halo, Myth, ONI and so on.

Agreed. If these people could actually realise how pointless these discussions are. What will you have proven? What will you have gained? Some random dude on the internet is probably not going to change his opinion about a certain franchise. Even if he did, you have not changed his life in the slightest.

It would also be nice to see less opinion threadcrapping. If someone wants to discuss what they think happens next in Cryptum for example, they should not have to deal with some pretentious bastard sticking his opinion of "The novel is ruining the franchise because I do not like it!" down everyone's throat.

This is not a Halo Universe forum, it is the Bungie Universe forum. Big difference.

He did mention the other Bungie universes at the end of his post though.
