I have only one real concern about halo 2, and it has NOTHING TO DO WITH BUNGIE. Im worried about the 12 yr olds who are going to sign up for x box live to play H2. I can see them now, entering games, killing teammates, and generally being jerks because they just want to look at the pretty colors and shoots guns. Whats to become of the older halo player who actually wants to play the game using "strategy" and complete a "goal". This hasnt been a problem yet because anyone who is willing to go through the hassle of hooking into XBOX Connect is obviously about more than colors and gun noises. Im talking about the kids who post threads on this forum asking about what kind of sex the master chief has. They're going to hassle their mother to get an Xbox live subscription, and then join games and yell into the headset and ruin the game for everyone else. I know that theres nothing anyone can do about this, but i just thought id see if anyone else was worried about this

Because of course, it's always younger gamers who ruin everything!
Honestly, it's not the 12 year olds you have to worry about - it's the twats and the teamkillers!

i worry about this as well, just did not bring it up, in all honesty i quit playing rainbow 6:3 due to the fact of little kids being semi smart about the game. they'd rather team kill and sing into the headset than play the game

Actually, i like it when people TK me on Halo PC, because then, I TK them, and continue, being cussed out left and right, until they quit! MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 05.20.2004 9:04 AM PDT

One way Bungie is planning for this inevitable -blam!-ness, is the clan support system. It will be much easier to find good, honest, solid players if you are apart of a clan system.

So.... Sign you lazzy @$$ up soldier!!!:)

I realize the concern for this. One thing I hate more than any other is playing CS, and having some 8 year old yell and laugh into the mic, and there's nothing you can do about it. Sure, you can kill him if he's on your team. One problem though: not only does that drag your status as a gamer down, you will usually be TK'd as well, or banned from the server. There should be an option to ban TKers after 3 TK's in one match. However, if you can't take the little kids any more on LIVE, just mute them. That's definitely one thing that LIVE has over computer game servers.

This will be a concern initially - but I am sure we will be able to solve it with some kind of community help. ( Not solve completely but you get the idea. ) As it is, I need to find out how many friends you can hold on XBL - that will be a start, and just like the little arsemonkeys on MechAssault, the bad apples will eventully make a name for themselves. Just remember your feedback buttons. Personally I think it would be great for some of these idiotic children to be temporarily block from XBox Live -- I can hear it now.....

If your looking for an active clan who doesn't talk "trash", allow cheating at all, and has a good community then check out our site.

Clan O7AH

The only problem with Clans is that you replace the "singing and blatent stupidity" with people that are pompus as hell and the only thing that they can manage to sya is that you are one a noob (worst term ever!!) or that you suck ect. Granted some are cool but its been my experience especaily on xb-connect that clans can be just as bad.

  • 05.20.2004 9:12 AM PDT

bah

TKers are never a problem for me.The reason people TK is because they generally suck. So I just kill them repetedly. If Halo 2 has no TKing rules built in, which it should, there is another way to deal with the people who just shoot you but don't TK, so I don't think it will be a problem.

The context of one's statement should be taken into account before accusing them of blaspheme:) That was in no way a $exu@l slur, if that's what you are implying. I am truely sorry if I "offened" anyone by using, what may be, the most commonly used word/slang to express one's feelings of complete and utter disgust with someone's attitude... not $exu@l preference. If taking one word out of context has become the norm for hate speach, then my life goal should be to get the local Wal Mart to take down the sign that says [color=yellow]"CRACKERS ON ROW 9: TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL."[/color] Ha Ha....

I haven't got XBOX live but I tried it ONCE at a friends house. There was 3 separate occasions when someone TKed me for no reason. It pretty much ruins 'one life' games. I hope the clan idea will help a little, along with the the Bungie TK blocking system thing.

Personally, I don't have Live at the moment so I don't have the experience of these little kids team killing. It sounds like it would be a huge annoyance because when I'm having a LAN party with 15 of my friends I hate getting team-killed, at least there I can just beat the crap out of whoever did it. One time the two teams of 8 actually got into a brawl, it was great, no one was really seriously mad, it was just fun. Anyway, I think the clan system will be a great way to deal with these kids. I am definitely going to get Live for the sole purpose of playing Halo 2. Also, I think people could set up specific guidelines about teamkilling and the host can kick off anyone who is blatantly doing it.

What's your point? This is what we "old tyme users" refer to as a useless post. It gives us no knowledge, it has no content, and it isn't entertaining. Why?

Perhaps he means that we "old timers" are getting slow and are getting a lousy aim.

Lol! I sure hope not! Some things only get better with age, and for those of us who have been playing Halo for over 2 years, our aim is as sharp as 2 year old cheddar. See? It gets sharper with age.

Dr. Sauch, Rip Saw etc... Hey alla youse... I am working on a solution to the abusive/children/a$$hole problem for live as we speak... It's a temporary one to be sure, but It should be a good start until after we've all been playing Halo 2 for a while. I'll post a new Thread next month sometime -- or when it's ready.

Hey rip saw, im not talking about people who just started playing. if you read my post you would have seen that. its okay to be inexperienced, thats jsut a matter of time. its another thing to join a game with people who are experienced and just be a jerk because you have time to kill before soccer practice. thats what im talking about.

im sorry rip i meant it for compton, it wasnt you, my bad

What do people like me do. I'm not horrible, but i'm not good enough nor do I have enough time to be a very serious clans member. Must I face the evilness of jackasses playing halo........

  • 05.20.2004 1:04 PM PDT

Ok, if there's a 12 year old playing with you on Xbox LIVE do this- lock off his voice so you can't hear him, and continue playing Halo 2. Simple, no? It's not a big problem at all.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Firstly, you can have 99 friends on your XBL friends list. It sucks because mine is always full so I always have to remove someone.

Secondly, not all 12 and 13 year olds are bad. I got XBL when it first came out and I was 13. The only people I tk are my friends (all in good humor, they understand and they have done it to me too) and the only people I sing too are my friends (Put on the child voice mask in mech assault annoys the hell out of your friends :P) Now I don't want to sound like I am here to mess up your games, I only do it to people I know can take a joke and are on my friends list. I don;t go to random's games and go "OMG I ARE UBER COOL!!! LOL!! I WUV JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!! YAY!" Hell i don;t even do THAT in friends games ;D

I have a couple of people on my friends list around 12 or 13. Now I admit alot of 12/13 year olds are annoying as hell, and most of them will probably try and psoil the endoing of Halo 2 for everyone, but some guys who are 14, 15, 16, etc. think they are so much better and as soon as the 12/13 year old talks in his high, squeaky voice, you always hear a "Wait until your balls drop kid." or something like that. It pissed me off alot. Hell when I first started with Mech Assault, people seriously thought I was a girl. I was nice to these guys who just got the game, (taught them how to play etc.) and then we went on opposite teams. One guy says "Holy crap, we are getting our ass kicked by a girl."

I would just like to say they never said that again. I have always been good at games so if that ever occured I just beat the crap out of them in game. Of course I am 15 now and haven't heard one of those comments in almost a year, but just remember that just because they are 12 doesn't mean they are some noob. I agree, many are but not all.

Now to kind of argue the opposite opinion, what pisses me off the most is when the said 12/13 year old kicks you out for being a one man killing machine and not joining his team. Just because they suck they kick you out. If not they would cry to their mommy to do something. They are the same people who drop in Splinter Cell so their stats don;t drop. Then the n00b cries when he wins and his stats drop for dropping when he was loosing. The same people in Mech Assault that won't go 3 on 4. I have won 2 on 4 and 3 on 5, don't be a baby. I made many friends when I was 13 because I didn't leave. Hell I once went 1 on 4 because my whole team dropped. These are the same kids who in Rainbow Six bring flashbangs and throw them at the spawn, the same kids in Moto GP who go backwards around the track, the same kids who think they are great, then you kick the crap out of them and they leave, the same kids who put on the most annoying ass voice masks like cartoon, just to annoy everyone, the same kids who choose the elemental etc. I once played the Whacked! Demo and I swear the only people playing where 8 years old. Not even 12. I said like -blam!- or something and someone said I am going on gods no no list and going to see the devil, and his mommy will spank me. The same kids who challenge me one on one in Mech Assault and choose a hellbringer when I choose a Rag. Then they are down 10-0 so they make their dad play. Then their dad yells at me for making their kid cry. Then I kick the said dads ass in Mech Assault. Then the kid gets back on and says its not fair because he doesn't have the ragnorak. If you cant beat the game you suck anyway. And this kid challenged me.



The point of my long post is that yes some 12 year olds can be as annoying as hell, but don't judge them first. I know a couple of cool 12 year olds that could kick your ass in any game.
