Subject: Whats wrong with both communities...

Haven't posted in here for such a long time but jusst thought I'd say this. What on earth is wrong with some of the B.net commubity and the Waypoint community. Every forum and thread I go to people still whine and moan about things. Either it be Halo 4 or Halo: Reach. ( seriously? Reach came out two years ago....) It never ends! I just wish people sometimes would appreciate a game now a days. It saddens me because back then people played games for fun and didn'nt cry that much about something in a game. It just makes the gaming community seem like a buch of whiny brats or at least for the Halo and Bungie communities it does. Sorry but I just remember all of us being so energetic and happy during the times of Halo 3 and Halo 2.

People whine about things on the internet! Stop the presses.

It's been link that for a while. Even in Halo 2 and 3, you just don't remember it because most people don't look back at how bad things were. Remember all the complaining about BR spread in Halo 3 and lunging in Halo 2. It was there, and it will always be here.

I know it's always here and there. I just wish it wasn't ya know? People just seem to over react instead of being appreciative.

Paying for a product gives you the right to provide criticism for the product you paid for. Being constructive about it benefits both parties.

^ Most of the time it is not constructive criticism, rather just hating without a reason.

You have a point there. It's just the over reactions from people that I don't get. Also "rights" can sometimes be abused.

People over react. It has always been that way, and always will be. I don't understand what you mean by abused.

For those who wish to contact me on Xbox LIVE, my main account is "The 7th Taco", and the one linked with my profile here is only a backup.

Opinions on the Internet? Wow, I've never heard of that.

But seriously, what do you expect? It's like this everywhere, and not just on Bnet and Halo Waypoint. When a game is released, someone will have reasons for loving it, and someone will have reasons for hating it. Some people will keep it to themselves, others will go on and on about it everyday.

You just have to understand that the Internet, including Bungie.net, are more opinion than fact on any subject. (And some people will voice their opinions as much as they want, because it's allowed).

Doesn't matter. Criticism is criticism, even if the person sharing it doesn't feel the need to go the extra mile to be civil or constructive. It has to have come from somewhere, and not everyone can find the patience to explain themselves fully to people who are going to write them off as "hating without a reason" regardless of what they say.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

Well, an unhappy gamer is a lot more vocal than a happy one. Being negative on bungie.net isn't imaginary but just as well doesn't define the entire community as jerks. Should it?

PS - I like armor lock.

Much like the media, the forums of both sites are usually filled with the negatives rather than the positives.

Oh god. Two weekends ago, I had the chance to play 4 hours of Halo 3 matchmaking for the first time since probably 2010. One of the first things that started annoying me was the BR spread. (It's absolutely useless at anything more than 100, maybe 150 meters.)

Okay maybe it wasn't all "rainbows and sunshine" back then but it wasn't as bad as today. When I said abused I should've said more of an excuse for people to whine. Thanks for replying by the way guys. I just needed to get this question out of my mind and at least share it. I knew at least some of the Bnet community would be having a mature conversation about this. I don't bother going on waypoint anymore.

Lol

Welcome to the world of gaming. Where people complain about games changing and complain if games stay the same.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

You're right everyone held the same opinion on topics such as, BR spread, or ranking systems.

I think that all of the complaints are helpful to game companies such as Bungie or 343i. Bungie at least has always appreciated constructive criticism, or so we've been told, and it helps them improve the next game.

It would be horrible if people didn't talk about perceived problems in games. The creators would just assume that the minor or major things that usually get torn apart by avid fans are being enjoyed. It's all part of the process.

Indeed. Even if they aren't being constructive or civil, you can push aside their words and dig at the core idea behind that complaint, and that can be interesting and useful, even if the original poster doesn't want to present it in that fashion.

That was the reaction of many people. But the amount of time, energy and effort that was put into that site, the community and how it was (like it or not) a sub/splinter community of the overall community (there were a lot of dual-members both here and there), I believe that it showed just how passionate and particular fans can be when they invest and attach to a game/story/mechanic/style so long and deeply.

People begin to feel that the game is MINE, and their understanding, experience, fantasy and predictions for where it will go, those are the ONLY reasonable outcomes. Anything other than "what I see happening in this thing that I consider mine" is a failure of the makers to understand "what is really important". Of course, combine that with the Internet and the social phenomenon of "I've found other people who agree with me, therefor we are numerous, therefor we must be the majority, therefor we should not only be heard, but obeyed. Any other view is illogical and must be destroyed for the good of all." and there you have it.

Welcome to the internet, OP. People will always complain about everything, it's actually not too different from real life.
