Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

-Terrible website design
-A member base with an average IQ of 12
-Mods who have no idea what the term 'flamebait' really means
-BS angel

To name a few.

You get banned for having an opinion.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Only thing I dislike about the place is horrible loading times.

The site rarely works properly and when it does, you are banned for criticism.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

It's slow, and people who frequent bnet are too accustomed to how things work here, so they can't handle slight rule changes.

People post like idiots, get banned, and then freak the hell out and say that it's the worst forum in the world and all the mods have the mentality of 12 year olds. Not true people!

After the Bungie.net Halo forums were removed, all the idiots in the Reach board migrated to Waypoint. 'tis now a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Wait, the Halo forums on bungie.net were removed?

What trickery is this?

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.

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

I don't like the layout, it is very laggy.

Then again, Bungie.net has been acting up as of lately, especially around this time.

Maintenance in the middle of the night?

Are the web team nocturnal creatures?

I think they hate it because of the naive community. Or that it stole some of our posters.

OR THE GOSH DANG LOADING TIMES

The only thing I dislike is the Website's layout. I already have terribly slow internet so all the crap that's suppose to make Waypoint look all smooth and cool doesn't help.

Schooled by Achronos. I don't think it's possible for your online defeat to be anymore secure.

OT: I dislike Waypoint because they're Forum staff is to uptight and the format is not that appealing. However, they're still relatively new, so they have a ways to go.

I actually feel bad about that post because I'm interrupting normal post flow.

It is quite clear Achronos has taken over you and has purged said criticism.

I thought it was kind of funny how this thread managed to get 8 pages over this.

And the Achronos posted. More pages inbound.

Kinda off topic but:

What does the logo mean next to this thread?

I have never seen it before.

A Bungie employee (Achronos, with the golden text) has posted in the thread.

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.

Got banned for saying some guy didn't earn his recon with Vidmasters, so he didn't have a right to wear it.

Also, got banned for called the mods the censorship of Communist China.

Also, got banned for saying Reach-blam!-s (only ban I understand).

Because the mods are more strict on there. Plus, there's a lot of kids there, too.

OT: I don't hate it, but it could be better, given better effort, of course.


This, I don't get - this is an M-rated game... why are there kids playing it to be on the forums? Forget TOS for a moment, but if there are kids there does that mean that legit 15+ players take a backseat to their well being? Where the *F* is their parental supervision? Sorry, 343, but it's not up to you to manage other people's kids, that's why the ESRB exists.
