Subject: How has the Community changed for you?

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Well? How has the community evolved from when you first joined to what it is now? Why not share your experience here since this is discussing the Bungie Community.

For me, when I first joined, everyone seemed a bit awkward or angry towards Halo 3. It was always something wrong about the BR or how bad Bungie made the game, etc. BUT, no one provided solutions, just "OMG BR IS SO OP OP OP HAYABUSA IS TOO COMMON RAGE RAGE RAGE!@!@!@!!!!@!@!!!!"

Now, at first, I signed up for Bnet to do that AND provide suggestions. It didn't work, so I went dark for about 6 months. When I came back, I had Recon and everyone was either asking me to be their friend or calling me a hacker and reporting me. (This was before Recon was released publicly.)

So, basically, I thought, "Everyone got more immature." and joined groups. This is what I did until ODST came out. Then I beat the campaign, forgetting one achievement (And people called me a hacker for that too since it was one of those 'You have to have those achievements or you're a hacker' type of achievements.). What others didn't know was that I played from a new save point, thus making me miss that achievement.

Beta time for Halo Reach. I was kind of excited, but then when I go on the website for the Reach Beta, it was filled with people constantly complaining that the DMR, Armor Lock and the grenades were too OP. I agreed with the DMR and grenades, but people thought I was an idiot for saying that Armor Lock wasn't OP. It isn't to me. I know how to get around it easily.

Now, to Reach. People keep complaining, what's new? I'm less active in the forums and more active in groups. To me, when I was in the Flood, I never really liked it there. The Community, well, it's more bearable. :)


How about you Community? How has it changed for you? Are you different from when you first started or are you the same? Are the people around you the same or have they matured? (Or immatured?)

I still make lame jokes... and I always will.


Though the community has gotten better in my opinion.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

More people, more games. Of course I'm different. I started coming here when I was 11.

I've been here for two years (Dubs, Check'em), and to be honest, I don't think the community has changed as much as I have. Only thing I've noticed is that The Flood's threads can be pretty annoying at times as there is hardly ever any quality flowing through that forum.

Because of that I now lurk here more than anything, but feel alienated as it is clear to see who has grown a good bond with each other leaving the rest out in the wind. If you got that feel that it was you, don't feel that way bro, it's just what happens. Basically what I'm saying is that I feel as if I joined this community too late to actually feel apart of it.

Changes: Nothing. Less quality threads in The Flood maybe?

the community has stayed the same. more or less. without the BR and its oppressive power, the mlg seems to have liquidated... which is great for me since im a pro. and like i always say, "a pro doesn't rely on any tool, he will make due with the tools at hand" however, with the new DMR that is slightly weaker than the BR but has better long range and anti vehicle ammo. i fear it more than ever. also. it seems to me that people only complain about he power on here. on reach matchmaking, everyone thinks the DMR is a skill full weapon, especialy thanks to mlg.

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

I have been here since 2004 (Old account got deleted), and i cant even begin to explain how much it has changed. Personally i liked the old days better, there was less complaining and more fun.

I hid in private groups in 08, then I was an elitist ass on the forums throughout 09, 10 and kind of still am. Argued with a lot of people and called them retards, I've given that up though.

I guess I finally noticed the mains are a cycle of stupidity with people repeating the same arguments over and over again. No point in participating in it.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

"The pancake, my friend, has officially been flipped."

A little bit more spam in the flood...

Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I joined after the Halo 3 announcement trailer... ah, the good ol' days.

Halo 2 was online and awesome, people were all civilly talking and theorizing about Halo 3 (remember the Rainbow theory? That was cool), and Bungie was great at giving hints and tidbits towards Halo 3's features.

A month or two after release, though, came the whiners and complainers that we all know and "love".

Well, at least it's quieter here now. Back to the intellectualizing!

Neo has officially been promoted to barf cleaner-upper and pukee hair holder.
I am honored to have that position. While your barfing I can steal your wallets!

It's creepy enough that people stalk Bungie via Webcams, but it's even worse how they stalk back.
