Subject: 343i forums are being corrupted by casuals

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

They're not casual, they're just fanboys.


I find it hard to take anyone who calls people fanboys seriously when they are on an internet forum dedicated to their favourite game.
Halo isn't my favorite game.

Touché. Regardless, you are still on a forum website dedicated to the game.

Actually this site is dedicated to Bungie. Bungie made other games besides Halo.

You`ve both got Halo avatars. It is safe to assume that you originally came here because of Halo, not because of love of bungie.

Well...

Based on recent visits and observations.

Those people there are really... adamant.
The game, which is frankly still very good (Campaign, Spartan Ops, maybe Multiplayer).. Has issues that they either A) refuse to acknowledge it B) Dont care C) Everything is okay.

Halo 4 has its good sides and the bad sides which falls deaf on the eyes. It could improve the experience not just for a certain group, but for everyone.

Changes like, theater for campaign fellas, nerf a few thngs (BS, DMR (this is very debatable), remove killcams, remove or fix JIP, more Custom options, etc..

They even denied for an option to disable Sprint. "AN OPTION because they think ITS FOR COMPETITIVE PLAYERS??? NOOOOO!!!!"
And they have the mind set, competitive=bad. Its not really for competitive..more options=better.


Non competitive and competitive players both have their groups of very "vocal" people. It enters the realm of stupidity when people start being jerks to each other over their different styles of play and enjoyment.

To be perfectly honest, no one on THESE forums gives a -blam!- about 343i forums.

Yes, Im aware of this.

The bias in both sides are so strong that one cannot help, but shoot the other one down. Stupid, but thats how it apparently works.

Id rather not get caught in this debate at all, I just like to voice.. Some opinions.

This.

The use of "casual" as a negative makes no sense, 1) because if someone plays the multiplayer regularly they're not particularly casual, and 2) because people like me are by necessity casual gamers (between university studies and other responsibilities i have little time for video games, but does that mean my opinion is invalid?)

I've been a Halo fan since the beginning and yes, Halo 4 was a different approach, but the reason Bungie stopped making Halo games was because they felt they'd come far enough with it. They recognised they'd have to irreversibly change the game to suit the irreversibly changed landscape that is games in 2012, and decided a fresh IP was the best option.

So yes, 343i could are arguably corrupted by casuals, but casual gamers are a huge source of revenue now (not to mention normal people with differing opinions), and to ignore their wants would be madness - bearing in mind that 343i has been set up by PROFIT DRIVEN CORPORATION MICROSOFT to INCREASE AND GUARANTEE REVENUE from their HALO FRANCHISE.)

Yes, it sucks, but that's capitalism.

Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

People care about how serious gamers are?

I wholeheartedly concur.

90% of all gamers are casuals, the game wouldnt be here without them. So stop crying like a little baby who cant have a cookie, and adapt.

Oh NO. Casuals! Break out the disinfectant, the casuals are coming to play.

The real problem is the skill obsessed jackholes who take their MLG seriously, because videogames are very serious business.

Why discuss this in the Flood again?

  • 11.29.2012 8:17 AM PDT

I think it's the other way around.

Competitive players corrupt games because they think videogames are srs business, sorry but games have always been casual, the fact tha tpeople obsess over them because they want to be the very best, like no one ever waaaas! ahem is all fine and dandy but in the end videogames are just that games.
