Mediocre Backpacker
56% W\L
2.86 k\d
3.18 DMR
7.29 God Magnum
7.79 Sniper
5.34 Needle Rifle

The layout and presentation is absolute ass. If I didn't know any better, I would of thought it had been made by failing high school students. The bias over there is ridiculous.

Slowpoint
Crashpoint
Kidpoint
Retardpoint

That just about sums it up.

First in social ranked firefight campaign competitive and ODST goose splatters.

Check out my YouTube Channel

Two things I would like from 343i

1) Let BS angel be the real BS angel. I mean the one that ran Hawty McBloggy, was funny, lewd, crude dirty and tons of fun. If you do this you will NOT drive fans away you will make them flock to you. Angel is awesome but unleashed Angel is amazing.

2) Loosen up the culture around the forums. I understand fostering a culture of respect and getting others to be kind to each other... but there is such a thing as being too strict.

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

Hate it:
(Site/systems.)
-The site is slow.
-The site always crashes.
-The layout is annoying to navigate through.
-The site looks ugly as hell. The background is this annoying blue color.
-If you get banned you can't check your PMs or anything. To me the only reason why they do that. Is so the mods can permaban every person they don't like. And there's nothing the person can do about it. But the dick suckers on that site defend it to death.

(People and mods.)
-The users seem like they are mainly little kids.
-If you say something negative about 343 or Halo 4 you have people that defend it to death.
-You have users that suck up to the mods and 343 for brownie points.
-The mods have no idea what they are doing at all. It seems like non of them had any past modding experience.
-You get banned for having an opinion that's negative to 343 or Halo 4. It doesn't matter how nicely you put it. You still get banned. But you have those retards General Cube 34 that post those troll threads after troll thread. That don't get banned for it.

(Rules.)
-It's retarded that the site tracks peoples stats, but you can't bring them up against somebody. No matter how nicely you do it, it's not aloud. But you had what's his nuts bragging about his over 9000 armor lock metals. I'm not trying to be funny with the over 900 thing. He actually had over 9000 of them. So the site contradicts it's own rules.

Halo Waypoint is like a German Death Camp.
BS Angel = Hitler.
Head mods = Germans that are in charge of the camp.
Regular mods = German guards.
People that suck dick = Those prisoners that are in charge of the other prisoners.
Regular users = prisoners.
Ban = isolation.
Permaban = showers.

It is slow, clunky, and too "blinged out" if you know what I mean.

It sometimes works, and it usually doesn't.

There has never been a better site than Bungie.net for Halo stats/news/info/forums. It has just always... worked.

EDIT:

Exhibit A: Got this a moment ago when trying to load Waypoint. Had to clear cookies and restart browser before it would actually load. You should not have to do that to go to a website... I had Waypoint already open and simply clicked on the Forums link.

Fail. Fail. Fail, 343.

LOL ... you talking about bungies [cough] site or 343's??

Lets compare bungies one remaining product ... its sole finished endeavor since being dumped from the halo by Microsoft.

Exhibit A ... the bungie crimson forum.
So this ... all that bungie can now call their own ... has 12 locked threads and 13 active.

How is this site NOT ban happy ?!?
