Subject: Why is Halo waypoint so hated by B-net?

In terms of the website?

It's slow, even unresponsive at times. It's difficult to navigate.While here on Bnet the web designers seem to favor functionality over being cute.


In terms of the community?

I've seen people who defend the game almost religiously and flame incessantly, never get banned. Then someone who criticizes the game, decides to flame someone after being flamed by said individual be banned.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

If you have a dissenting opinion, you are banned for trolling.

Pumpin' you full of lead to drop you DEAD!

After reading this entire thread I hope I am ready to attempt to traverse and survive the carnivorous jungle which is called halo waypoint.

I'll come back with some intel.

The MODS there don't know how to lay off the ban-button.
It's like they get a sick buzz out of banning people.

almost as if they haven't stepped outside in years.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit."

Like all forums, some posts are great and others aren't.
B.net has a longer history so it generally has more great posts.

Ad Infinitum

I just don't like the site layout. To me, it seems more confusing than Bungie.net. Therefore, I use Bungie.net to discuss Halo.

I want her...

I've got no problems with it, its a lot faster than it used to be which was really the only thing that bugged me

The forums over at Waypoint are pretty barebones. In case you haven't checked them out for yourself the topic listings only show the title of the topic, how many pages it has, and the author, that is it. Posts are incredibly simple looking as well. Makes the whole forum seem tacked on.

When Halo 4 was first released a week ago and I was stoked and thought of the glory days of Halo 3 with it's creative and vibrant community. I don't see history repeating itself with the platform we're given on Waypoint. That being said I can only hope and wait to see how their forums evolve.

It's not terrible per se, tolerable to say the least.

Lets put it in caveman laungauge:

Not BUNGiE.net = reason to hate it to death.

I'm gonna say here's why I hate Halo Waypoint and I'm sure others will feel the same way.

On Waypoint I feel like I'm tiptoeing around what I'm saying to avoid getting banned. Its like someone going against the church way back. On Bungie I can post criticism about the game without worrying about being permabanned.

I feel like here on Bungie our voice is actually heard. While on Waypoint they just put this thing in place to make it look like we're heard but in reality its just there for people to vent. Thats the big difference.

+1. My response to people that used to call me a Bungie fanboy was that one day, they would miss Bungie.

Ninjas don't exist there.

You don't SEE any ninja there. Which is not the same thing as saying "there are none here".


Their ninjas have better stealth then the ones we have do...

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

You had to bump the thread didn't you?

OT: Waypoint sucks.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

Who bumped this back up?

Bumping a long dead thread is not okay, mmkay?

  • 12.10.2012 9:51 AM PDT

From what I've gathered, there aren't many reasons not to hate it. I'm fairly sure all you can really do there is suck 343i's collective dick, anything else such as having a different opinion, is a crime and lands you a nice long ban.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

It's not BNET.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Because petitminou doesn't post there.
