Subject: How does the B.net Community feel about Waypoint?

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

*Tries really hard not to bash*
I am not a huge fan of the website, or, if I am to be frank, 343i in general. The website is laggy and slow, although I cannot speak to the character of the community. It feels as though it has usurped a dying empire while Bungie has gone on to the new world, broken the chains of despotic oppression, and founded a new nation built upon the principles that make our nati- *ahem* community great.

Well this has blossomed into a wonderfully constructive thread.

Their forums are painful to use.

Many people I have talked to have only played Reach as their first (and only) Halo. Not a big deal, but they then say they want Halo to emulate cod. By 343i adding perks/etc to Halo 4, they are praising 343i for making innovations done by every other generic shooter.

The forums are extremely slow and bloated.

The moderation there is equivalent to soviet Russia where you literally can be banned for going against the main opinion. I have had many threads deleted, locked, or merged.
This is exactly how i feel about it.

Fledgling community, with awful web design for the forums and poor moderation.
Give it time, it could easily develop - but at the moment, I just don't care for the place, I can get all the news I want from the front page on Waypoint, and don't need to go anywhere else.

I'm sensing a LOT of butthurt from you over moderation, lol.

Their forums follow the old school design of forums. I've found absolutely no issues with the layout.

As for the UI, While it could use some work it's not THAT bad.

I do agree, however, that people are completely fooling themselves when they say the experience is better on those forums in terms of other users replying and such. Feels a little like bungie.net if every forum were 50% flood.

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

I havn't set foot in there. At least I don't think that I have. So I can't give an opinion. So just like the first post by senior, there isn't anything to talk about.

I see no reason to go there.

You think you guys have it bad there?!
I GOT BANNED FOR TWO WEEKS AFTER SAYING KEN WAS BAD AT HALO!

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

I have never been banned or warned but their moderation staff is terrible.

-The site is not fast
-Very clunky
-If you post something that it may be a hot topic here, there it might only get like 3 posts and maybe get locked by a mod.
-You can't difference who is who, especially mods and employees.

99% of the time it is mods because employees of 343i never post on their forums, they almost always respond to questions on Neogaf and ignore the "official" boards. There is almost no reason to have a Halo 4 forum.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

This thread is better suited to the Flood Forum, where it is a frequent repeat. This forum is for threads about the BUNGIE community.
