Subject: Something I just don't get about our community...

I've see many discussions in the Halo: Reach and Flood forums where Bungie gets bashed saying how bad Reach was/is. I was just in the Crimson forum and the same thing is going on there. I don't understand it, if you hate Bungie and have nothing to contribute to this site's community, then why stay? To tell loyal Bungie fans how bad Bungie is? What's the point, why try to force your opinion voiced by a minority upon the majority?

I still don't even know why people think Reach is so bad, if you don't like it and want to play a shooter, then why not go play Call of Duty or Battlefield and bash Halo and Bungie with those guys on their forums?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

What is funny is Bungie din't even make Crimson...

No, but I find it surprising it's in the Crimson forums...

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

I don't like Bungie games that much, but I like talking about other stuff with people here.

What a hipster.

The great question. Even though it's annoying, I feel it's necessary to some extent. To establish a working game you need to hear both the ups and downs. But then there are also the people that just rant to rant as Rich explained. Sadly, they both come part of the package.

What's funny about that? One spelling mistake? Get over it.

I love that because someone is bashing Reach, they are instantly labeled a troll. It couldn't be that they don't like the game, nope, they are just a troll trying to piss off the community.

I joined these forums for Halo: CE and 2, and stayed for the community.

I've been here a long time, and when Reach came out, it was -blam!-, and it is still -blam!-. Am I supposed to leave the forums because I don't gobble up every little thing that Bungie produces? wat

OMG that completely relevant and serious analogy was hilarious! LOL!!!

That knee-slapper aside, the senile one is right.

Key

Halo: Reach changed a lot of stuff from the traditional Halo. Halo 3 changed it enough that it was refreshing but not enough that it WASN'T Halo like some people are saying about Reach. And that isn't unwarranted. Many parts of it simply ARE NOT aspects conducive to traditional Halo.

Ergo, people cried.

Crimson was an iPad game. That, coupled with the fact that many people were misinformed about MANY aspects of it (for example, it's not the reason Bungie went dark and they aren't a mobile dev company now). This is represented by all the SUPERCONFUSEDHATREDGAAAAAAH threads both when the Crimson Forum came up in the form of rapid spam and now in the form of the equivalent of an Armor Lock thread in the Reach forums at about 1/10 the frequency.

Ergo, people cried.

pfft...You & your logic.

He doesn't throw the rock in the water to see a splash.
He throws the rock in the water to get it wet and make it mad. Knowing the rock is defenseless and will sink to the bottom is just gravy on the insult to injury.

Little kids are evil like that.
Just like the trolls.

Having an opinion =/= trolling. Though the way people share their opinion could be considered trolling I guess.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I don't understand it, if you hate Bungie and have nothing to contribute to this site's community, then why stay?

Reach may be a good game, but it is not a Bungie game. It is filled with plenty of silly problems and stupid mistakes, and I honestly expect better from Bungie.

Why am I still here? Because I believe that Bungie is a fiercely self-critical company that strives to improve themselves each and every day. Reach contains many mistakes that should be learned from, and only by bringing up and acknowledging those mistakes will we continue down the neverending path to perfection.

You talk of loyal fans, but what's a better indicator of Loyalty? Staying around when things are going well for you, or sticking around when they're not? An intelligent and conscientious opposition is definitely an element of loyalty, and while most people don't take the extra mile to stay civil when criticizing Bungie or their games, please don't lump those of us who do with those of us who don't.

That's why Bungie kept the Halo forums, to trap all of the trolls in. Unfortunately, Crimson might bring in a new horde . . .

Because disliking Reach is equivalent to hating Bungie.

It's got more to do with being accepted by sticking it to the man - insecurity - than wanting to piss people off.
It's not that they feel good about trolling, but it gives them a sort power 1) by making other people angry - they control their emotion, 2) by insulting Bungie and Reach, they get power by being above the influence of popular opinion and Bungie itself (you won't tell me what to think), and 3) by sticking it to the man in a manner against the rules and getting away with it, they have power over moderators.

Trolls are just insecure.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I guess Bungie needs to make a perfect game satisfies every single person here on B.net. Shouldn't be too hard.
