Common sense, you have none.

For a 'fun game' there are way too many rules.

But bungie loves to punish people.
Why else would anyone develop a game, but rather than fix problems with its design develop another tool to ban people?!?

Does the ban stop it from happening again?
(ie actually FIX the problem)

Did the problem not exist in the previous versions of halo?
And even with a 'total rewrite' of the reach engine, and knowing of the problems ... did bungie even attempt to fix anything?

BTW ... watch out for the in-game 'dont walk on the grass' signs - lol

I was sent a message by a sore loser thinking I boosted because I was playing co-op with my brother both as the master chief and we happened the have the top two scores two points away from each :/....

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Boosting.

A Term that Competitive "LOSERS" came up with.

You see, Bungie has to ban Boosters else their forums would be spammed to hell and back by a bunch of -blam!- losers who get butthurt when someone isn't playing by the same rules as them.

They are incapable of realizing that you shouldn't be attempting to compare yourself to everyone out there.

To them it's a race. And if someone happens to find a way to finish that race before them in some manner that is not to their liking...it apparently ruins the race for them.

Nevermind the fact that it's obvious who's cheating at the race. But to them that -blam!- number is everything. That's why they are perfectly willing to deny someone the ability the play a game simply because you did not respect that number like they do.

I -blam!- hate you competitive trash -blam!- -blam!-s.
You people add nothing to the game as far as I'm concerned, except to force your point of view of how people should play a game, and cry like -blam!-es when they say otherwise.

-blam!- Leaderboards.
-blam!- Stats.
-blam!- Competitives.

FPS's were better when they weren't designed to cater to a bunch of -blam!- leaderboard jerk-offs.

Prove yourself in the moment and move the -blam!- on.

No other point to actually track stats, other than to give people a reason to open their big mouths and talk down to other players and tell them they shouldn't play because your not as awesome at a game as they are. That is the only thing stat tracking has ever accomplished.

Get rid of stat tracking, get rid of boosters. It's really a simple concept.

The only problem is those of you who need leaderboards as some kind of incentive to even play a game at all. You are the pathetic ones if the inclusion of a leaderboard is what makes or breaks a multiplayer game.


Oh yeah. The only OTHER thing stat tracking ever did for any of you...

1. It made people quit out on you.
2. It made it take longer to find matches.
3. It made you completely miss the point.
4. It encouraged you to play in unsportsman-like ways.
5. Spawn Trapping and Spawn Killing in Objective games.

Thank you Leaderboards
And...
Thank YOU MATCHMAKING for catering almost entirely to forcing everyone to play for that -blam!- leaderboard.

And thank you Community for not fighting hard enough to get customs the attention that it deserved.

BTW. I don't typically boost. But if I did, I'm wondering how my actions would actually afffect any of you in any way, considering most of you wouldn't even be aware of it, until you saw it on the leaderboard. Since the majority of you wouldn't even have played against the booster.

No, just a name on the leaderboard is all it takes to get the tears rolling from your cheeks.


I almost forgot the most important aspect of all this.

Modding Communities.
Why is PC still the master race?
Because they don't design their games around a bunch of competitive crybabies who require everyone to play by the same rules.

Windows 8 has me a bit scared for PC though. Especially if it's going to become an issue of games requiring that peice of -blam!- consolized OS.

Literal Example of a Booster that deserves to be punished because their boosting is directly affecting other players.

A Team that goes into an objective game, scores 2 flags grabs the 3rd gets it safely to their base and just holds it there while they spawn trap until time runs out.

Now, if you were paying attention. You should already know who to blame for encouraging that kind of sportsmanship.

Why do you even bother playing this little act all the time?

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

You want the truth.

Well a while back, I came across this keyboard design called 'Dvorak'.

I retrained myself in it, got up to about 50'ish wpm on the layout too.

Now I'm just using this as a method to retrain myself back into qwerty.

I troll for typing practice.

That's how I would define it. Boosting is sacrificing fun for the sake of in-game rewards.

Agreed.

I like my stats, but don't play to improve them. But completely agree with you, the reason people spawn trap is to improve their stats and K/D.

Removing Stats would fix this, but you also need to remove any evident of players K/D or Spawn Trapping will still happen because of this.

As most people belive your K/D is your skill.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Do you though?

I'll give you 3 choices to decide who I am.

1. Bill Maher
2. Lewis Black
3. Just some average gamer who in some ways takes gaming more seriously than you which is evident by the amount of "Thought" that goes into -blam!- like a quit ban and the reason it shouldn't exist when you consider how -blam!- stupid and selfish competitive players are.

Why was the quit ban made?
To force casual players to stay and take a beating so they can pad their -blam!- K/D.

Competitive: "I love it when the last person stays after the rest of his team quit. I love it so much I send a thank you message for sticking it out!"

Competitive: "Meanwhile, I spend the rest of my time on forums doing everything I can to make sure Custom gaming never sees the light of day, because that would reduce populations for my K/D farming playlists. Because the noobs I like to farm wouldn't be forced to play against me and my kind anymore!"

That about sums it up.


No really, you competitives are funny.
You make such a big deal about needing this "SKILL GAP"!

Think about what that means?

Then in the same breath you talk about wanting even matches.

What is it? MAKE UP YOUR -blam!- MINDS!
