I have fun on Reach by being a massive douche.

Why should my fun be put aside for another person?


And it's people like you that make society a living hell.

Nothing about gameplay is unsportsmanlike. The game does not recognize anything as that. It just recognize who wins and who loses and there are no rules anywhere written by Bungie or 343 about whats unsportsmanlike.


Actually, the game does apply rules about what is sportsmanlike. Functions such as the banhammer, quitbans, mutebans, credit resets, betrayal booting, these are all examples of direct consequences of behaviors that fall under "bad sportsmanship." Even XBOX Live offers a feature for avoiding players for poor game conduct.

Furthermore, apart from these, there is not a formal list of rules that qualify as "sportsmanship," similar to how there is no formal list of what is "polite." These are unwritten rules generally applied to characterize behavior of what is and is not acceptable.

Unwritten rules have no credibility. You sound like a freshman believing in the unwritten dating rules.

If the internet has taught us anything, it is that in a world with no consequences, people will do absolutely anything and everything they can to everyone else around them, despite having no genuine positive outcome whatsoever. I acknowledge that players on this (and other) game(s) make a point to be as massively cruel and vindictive as humanly possible to anyone they can, but while they think it's harmless fun, they are actually doing more harm than they realize, not least of all to themselves. Whether you accept that or not is not my business, but I do warn that you sow the seeds of your own downfall.

It seems that you're mad.

Understandable.

I would be mad too if I couldn't understand half of the words the other person was saying.

Welcome to B.net, where Halo is srs bsns.

Eh psychology is a big part of the game. You should do what you can to frustrate the other team into making mistakes.

Why would I allow the other team to come back; to gain momentum?

That's not sportsman-like. It's just unwise.

I've seen big comebacks in Halo. They usually come when one team allows the other to regroup as they take the pressure off.

Firstly, sarcasm doesn't carry well through text. Secondly, I'm srs because the prevailing attitude between internet users, gamers and everything else is such that there are no boundaries that cannot be crossed over too far. This attitude, when multiplied over the entirety of the internet, is incredibly toxic and destructive in a myriad ways. Personally, I recognize the writing on the wall (so to speak) and am attempting to share my wisdom with anyone who cares to actually pay attention long enough to see my point.

I think you take everything way too seriously.

Thanks, but I don't smoke, and this is basically the only forum I ever read, so forgive me for preaching here instead of elsewhere. I merely try to be the breath of fresh air in a cloud of trolls and flame-wars by illiterate idiots

I've been their, trying to instill a sense morals and ethics to the unbridled masses is like trying to go thru a brick wall, no matter how many times you try it's just going to sit their.

Believe me, I would never hope to make any kind of dent in the aforementioned brick wall. As I said, I'm merely trying to be a breath of fresh air; one breath is hardly enough to counter the gagging cloud surround it. Likewise, the brick wall would merely have a person-shaped stain on it after a while. I know I'll never get past it, I just want to leave my mark.

Okay what's the word for explaining your methods? Hypocrisy, Elitist, self absorbed? Egotistical and Arrogant? Segregating and discriminating? Either way you're doing it in some way shape and form and being unreasonable even when someone expresses words of wisdom and you simply ignore it because their K/D doesn't met your quota. Bigot?

Dealing with your types stagnate Unity in the World because you're conceited.

Exactly. In football you dont see defenses stop forcing 3 and outs just to make the other team feel better.


In football, players are paid for doing their best and winning, in games, unless you belong to MLG you don´t receive any (real) money for winning. So, what´s the point of being a douche?.

Spawn killing is taking advantadge of a design flaw, there isn´t an intelligent spawn system or more well distributed spawn places.

For example, the most common example of spawn-killing (and the reason why I stopped playing BTB) is Paradiso-Red Team, if the blue team manage to gain control of the cliff, (which is very easy for them) they have tons of good and easy to defend sniper places, plus, they can overlook the banshee and tank spawn. And the final piece of the cake: Reds spawn in the open.

Yep, their big juicy heads are just waiting a sniper bullet to go through them, and there´s little to nothing to do if the sniper gets acompanied by a banshee or a tank.

Of course, there´s no written rule that forbids spawn killing, but there´s also no rule to prevent players from using AL, or camping into the yellow and red lift on Sword Base in a Living Dead match, or camping the tower in Pinnacle, or hiding "outside boundaries" in Boardwalk, or using a Banshee in a Elite Slayer map, or any other flaw this game has.

The way I see Spawn Killing is that, just taking advantadge of design flaws, annoy players, and being a douche, if this game´s population is so low, it is because: 50% the tons of flaws(Bloom, AL, Glitches, Bugs etc...), 50% d-bag players that take advantadge of those flaws in order to make an annoying game even more annoying.
