Yes.
Why do you say that? Let's not call out individuals though.

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

Well we are the community

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Some members are bad fanboys. They know who they are.

It would depend very heavily on what forum they went to. If they saw the flood, then maybe not. But if they took some time to understand why we are here, then maybe their opinion would change over time.

They wouldn't see fanboys in the flood, that part is true. If they saw the flood, they'd think we are a bit...odd

No.
Some over zealous fanboys, perhaps.
Some blatant argumentative tryhard trolls, for sure.
Not all of us are fanboys either. I'm not.

But there are enough other decent posters out there that
I don't think anyone 'new' to the site would see the general community as 'bad'.

Sure. We're interesting and amusing, but also overzealous or obnoxious or a combination of both. And that's no fault of Bungie's, either - it's what they get in return for hard work and popularity. The best gaming fanbase I've seen is probably Valve's, and even they can be annoying. It's not too hard to ignore the bad types and focus on the good, so I don't think it matters much.

There's definitely a lot of young, immature and blind Bungie fanboys here. However, there's also good folks here who are loyal to Bungie because of Bungie's relationship with the community and loyal fans who offer good-constructive criticism. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Halo attracted a lot of kids and immature people, some of them have decided to say here. Let's just say it's not very fun to talk to them on the forums.

And...there's some people who seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Bungie, Bungie.net and Bungie games. I won't even bother to talk about them in detail.

Overall, an outsider would see a pretty balanced community. I'm expecting more numbers to drop here once Halo 4 is out. Which is good. They can take all that "awesome" Halo talk and talk about it on the wonderful Waypoint forums. I'm hoping Project Destiny invites a more mature crowd.

There are some good and some bad.But that comes with every video game community.

Come watch me game
Currently playing:
Diablo 3 (Farming Acts 1-3 Inferno on my Wiz, Act 1 HC on my DH)
Minecraft 360 Edition
Halo 3

I think so. Especially those of you that think that skill at a game shouldn't translate into greater knowledge of said game, and how best to make changes to that game.

It depends on how aware of the world around them they are. That and how much life experience they have.

You are all constructs of my solipsist mind.

Too many mustache bombs in this thread.

OT: Absolutely, if they only stay in the Community forum.

  • 06.09.2012 7:57 PM PDT

Spread the love...

I think we are pretty good :)

  • 06.09.2012 8:26 PM PDT

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Meh. Better than some sites, but worse than others. I prefer the community on most other sites, but an insight in to Bungie's next project will always have me coming back here.
