I am the voice of reason... It's why I keep my mouth shut
Posted by: Achronos
In unrelated news, applying the word "hate" to a web site that contains a lot of people who essentially love the same thing you do (I'm talking Halo; get your mind out of the gutter) seems rather stupid.
No, they don't love it at all, all they do is whine and complain. There are a few legitimate threads, but criticise someone for their carebear whining, and it's the banhammer.
I've never been a frequent poster on these forums, I'm more of a lurker, and I ventured into the Waypoint forums to lurk a little and it was all hate. Walls and walls of text and hate. I imagine some people are replacing LCD monitors for all the spittle that was flying in sheer rage.
The thing is, most people like Halo 4 and are playing the game, while the minority of people clog the forums with whining about how people keep killing them with the DMR and so it has to be nerfed, or they can't get a kill with the AR so it has to be buffed.... it's same-old same-old trash talk from players that can't figure out that multiplayer gaming is supposed to cater than more people than just themselves.
I like these forums - I haven't been to the B-net for a long time, not since Reach, as I've been incredibly busy with a masters degree and a PhD thesis, but I get a new game and check out the forums to mingle with the community... but there's no mingling. Just lots of flying spittle.
