My friend recently purchased Halo PC and he and I are having a great (and often frustrating) time trying to get used to the slightly different gameplay of Halo PC as well as trying to get used to using the mouse/keyboard combo or the new PC controller he bought.

I've noticed something disturbing...

It's been a long (and unfortunate) time since the start of the use of the discriminating remark "-blam!-" as being used as an insult or when describing something that they do not like, it is called "-blam!-."

But now, if someone is killed or otherwise has their ass handed to them (legitimately), they call the other person a "negro" or the proverbial "n-word" for killing them or otherwise doing something they don't like. When did this start? More importantly, why the hell did it even start in the first place? It is bad enough calling something -blam!-, but why move on to a racial term?

-S

When did what start? Stupidity and bigotry? Around the time one man noticed he was different than another. =P

It sucks that people throw around racial slurs and derogatory remarks so easily. It's one thing to jokingly tell a friend they suck, another to attack an ethnicity just because you got served.

However, kids will be kids, and most don't understand exactly what it is they are saying, or what it means to others when they say it. It's unfortunate, but don't let their ignorance bring down your game.

If this ever happens, just leave the game. Their are better servers, such as the Bungie ones. And I also have been noticing more and more offencive language, and as Shiska said kids will be kids.

Yea, I notice people leaving when that starts...and I do as well. Fortunately I usually see the same people that left on the next server I pick.

well i aint seen any of that.. but i do only play on the aus servers (for obvious reasons) and there are only a few things thrown around but none are of racial content (none that i've seen and i play halo way too much)
but yeah only thing that will clear a server faster than that is an entire team with FRG's spawn camping

also a lot of stuff about jews....I think that these ppl are just tossing out a line, seeing who bites so they can pursue their ignorance further. I like to kill them as they type.

well i have only ever seen two cases of this,1 of which was on my clans public clanserver, and as a server admin, i warned this indiviual for his behaviour, this individual continued, so was kicked, if he had re-entered and said "distasteful" remarks again he would have been banned.

so if you try and stick to servers which do have moderators and admins on them, then this is likely to not be a problem, i dont believe it is at the moment as i stated earlier, ive only ever seen this twice.

Maybe I was just unlucky and got into the wrong games at the wrong time. You guys are giving me hope that at least this is frowned upon by some :).

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I haven't played alot of Halo PC multiplayer (I have a mac so I dont get all the auto updates so most of the time I cant play with PC users unless I go looking for these updates) but when I have I havent seen any of this. There isnt much of this on XBL either. If there ever is, I either leave the server, through the guy out of my server or if I can't kick him out, I kick his ass. And don't think just because you are on my team you are safe. That -blam!- is not cool.
