"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

I miss the days when bungie.net was a place of friendly discussion and where people could have all of their questions answered and their issues resolved. Now all that people do is discuss if Armour Lock is over powered (or "OP" as the lazy typers call it) and why Halo: Reach sucks.

I'll be 100% (or 99.99%) honest with you, but I think that Reach is just a bit different. Its a very good game that has clearly attracted a lot of people to buy and has an amazingly epic story that really pulls you in from the moment you start the campaign. The problem is, some people are too cranky and they will post a "this game sucks" thread the moment they die by the hands of a sniper. Rather than just think "ok, it happens" people jump the gun too quickly and it only makes them look stupid.

This especially has been happening recently over the BTB All Stars playlist, and the biggest thing that annoys me is when they go straight to blaming kids. I have a 9 year brother who is very good at xbox and enjoys playing with me and my other friends, especially when he helps me acquiring perfection medals through teamwork.

Any ways, I've said what I have wanted to say and leave it over to the mature and intelligent side of the Bungie community to discuss anything you want. Thanks for reading if you did, I appreciate it.

The maturity of this place left when Halo 3 got all the hype. It's a sad reality. However, in my opinion, your 9 year old brother is too young to be playing on XBL. The things that are said and uttered are not things a 9 year old should be hearing. Again, it's a sad reality, but that's what people do with anonymity.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

The maturity rise and falls between games, as the release dates gets further into the past, maturity rises, and immediately after the release date as players increase and therefore immaturity lowers. So when the next IP is announced maturit will rise for discussion and then fall again as the chat moves to more banal issues.

Excellent point. I guess thats what happens when you have a online forum for gamers. Now its border lining a social network, which is oaky, if it wasn't for the very people you talked about.

I understand what you say and yes the truth is before Halo 3 took the spotlight. I was on Bungie.net around that time and it wasn't too bad, but since Reach so many hot-heads want to vent there anger out on an innocent community ehich is unfair. Oh, and the brother thing - don't worry too much about that, I try and be as responsible as I can and keep him out of the parties of flamers and people like them. He only has a bungie.net account for things like credit checking and so on. I know its not the best game for hi, but he enjoys the right side of it and hes clever enough to not end up smacking kids in his school with a meter-stick thinking its a hammer! That wouldn't be good!

No offense, OP, but I think you have to have been here a lot longer than a year to experience bungie.net in it's full glory. The "this game sucks" threads have been going on since Halo 3. Hell, even Halo 2. The other stuff you've been saying goes on, immaturity, lack of proper help in most cases, cranky users, that stuff's been going on for years. This place truely died after 2006.

I do my bits to help out people, when I can, because I'm nice like that. You should, too.

No offense taken! I wish I was on here at the Time of Glory... I bet it was a good time to be on here! I have loved Halo since Halo CE, and I didn't even have an Xbox then! I was too busy on my GC playing Metroid: Prime which was the only good contender to Halo series off of a different console (just my personal opinion). Sorry I've completely gone off topic here!

New game, new members, most of them probably have never used a forum prior to jumping into this game. There is a golden art to netiquette and sadly most people do not have the decency to at least be civil, such is the way of anonymous users with nothing to lose.

Criticism for the game is all fine and well, that's besides the point but boiling down we get to the meat of the argument and come up with; PLAY NICE. Which apparently a lot of people's mothers did not teach them when they were young.

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

If this place "truly died" then why is it so active?
It's interesting how some people feel like the way they live their life is the way that everyone else needs to live theirs.

I remember things in the community were a little more close-knit. Groups actually had a lot more importance (to me, at least) and there were new forums and chatroom groups that were based off chapters, some were so awesome that activity was never a concern back then, but they are dying or dead now. Now you have new kids around the forums who don't even know what HBO or HIH is. ._. Damn shame.

I disagree, OP.

I'd say that, through growth in its userbase, the immature users have a larger presence, in addition to the fact that all of us have matured in our time here.
Immaturity is louder and more noticeable, therefore the greater presence.

So, you see more immature people, and after maturing yourself, it seems Bungie.net has sunk to a new low in maturity.

It hasn't, but that's a perfectly reasonable conclusion anyway.


Just a side note, OP, I think you can find refuge like many of us have in Private Groups.
If you want to start or join a group for intelligent discussion, we'd be all for it.

Come to think of it, now that Bungie are going to be staying a bit darker about their future plans, after the hype over Bungie: Aerospace has died down I hope that possibly Bungie.net returns to how it used to be.

Oh, and on the subject of Aerospace, why is there such a note of disappointment on the forums? Its an excellent concept that will help many amateur designers become better and therefore better games for us! I can't wait for Crimson I think it was called.

Fair point there, but private grouos for me always end up being forgotten and die down completely. Unless one were to be started with inclusion of the people within this thread, I might join. But I can't really manage them, its not my thing to be honest.
