"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

Ever since the start of Halo Reach.I have felt that the community has become somewhat unwelcoming.Am I the only one that thinks this?

Reach killed talking.
I think the introduction of the Xbox LIVE Party chat killed in-game talking. But then again, the online community in general has become hard to tolerate.

I would much rather talk to friends even while we played different games much more than I would to other players I am playing with or against in a game. If the majority of users had something pleasant to say I might make idle conversation, but instead I am attacked with hostilities of things like skill, my mother, etc.

But it isn't just the Halo Community that has gotten worse, it is the majority of the online gaming community in my opinion.

The MLG/competitive gamers community kinda tried to take control over the game. When Reach came out they were mad because the game wasn't catered toward them, pretty much.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Adults left. Parents let their 9 yr. old children buy Halo.

Vote for me for a free cookie.

Well 3/5 of the halo community are 8 year olds, 3/4 of the halo community don't have mics and the ones that do have mics are annoying 8 year olds that blow into their mics or trash talkers.

i see no problem with AL. if people stopped abusing the power weapons like they were the standard AR or DMR, then you wouldnt have that problem would you?

that is 1 thing i always found stupid about the majority of the community. their hatred for AL. and the reason its stupid is because most people who hate AL immediately go for the power weapons and use them the entire match as if it were their standard weapon. then they get mad when someone constantly uses the only REAL defense there is against said weapons. sorry, but if you think im just going to sit there and let you kill me all game with a power weapon, you are very sorely mistaken.

like i said, to avoid the "problem" with AL, stop abusing the power weapons so much.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

You clearly have no idea how power weapons work. They're there for anyone to use. First to get them should do work with them. It's YOUR fault you didn't get to it first, not theirs. AL rewards the person who should be punished and punishes the person who should be rewarded.

How the hell do you "abuse" a power weapon anyhow?

Power weapons are a reward for your team securing map control. It is the end result of one team out playing the other team, which requires both skill and teamwork. I don't see anything wrong with this, but what I do see is the guy whose team got obliterated pressing RB and having a chance to reverse the flow of the game by using no skill and absolutely no teamwork.

How is using a skill-less mechanic to offset rewards gained by actual skill and teamwork "good"?

Actually, I'd say that MW2 did, despite the party restrictions on some playlists (we found ways, like private chat).

I would rather mute everyone and only talk with my friends or just go into a party. And everyone, apparently, had the same idea.
I guess it passed on into Reach.

Please, there was this problem when casuals complained back in the Halo 3 days, yet I don't see you putting blame on them for creating the changes in the first place. You can make a competitive game casual, you can't make a casual game competitive.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

The community has been infested with self proclaimed pro MLG wannabes who constantly insult you if you like Reach and don't have a KD above 1.5, the people who think the game should only be about competetiveness and trueskill, the people who insult you and accuse you of trolling if you have an opinion that they don't share, the people who tell you to kill yourself if you don't like the Title Update, the people who are so arrogant they think that being good at a video game gives them the right to insult and look down on everyone else on the Internet.

Glad these people are only in the Reach forum for now

Nice generalization of an entire community bro.

I never said it is the entire community, but rather that the community has become filled with these people

I am still glad that there are those few nice people left on these forums

Have your opinions. Just don't expect them to have any merit in discussions about Halo and don't get angry when we tell you your opinion is worthless.

And look where we are, a HALO forum.

If you don't like it, get better or leave.
