Meh, too lazy to take it apart bit by bit, and too lazy to quote you, so let's just start from there then.
Like I said, and as I should clarify, you came in acting upon your (nonexsistant) seniority and believing you would get the respect and attention a senior member of the forums would receive. Not even senior members get respect and/or attention, and either way, seniority means little if anything. The reason I say nonexsistant is because quite simply, not too many people know you. Since you were apparently a moderator of a forum, you should know as well as I do that building a name on forums takes time...you can't simply come in acting like you've been here forever when you truly haven't. I don't consider a several year lapse to be "forever."
To be completely honest, I haven't seen too much fanboy-ing around this thread. Time and time again, people are simply stating their opinion, most of which you somehow regard as "fanboy and flames.' My diagnosis? It's all in your misperception that this forum is filled with fanboys and n00bs. Some of us aren't, some of us are mature, and we've just proven this point through logical and coherent posts.
Honestly, i've seen a lot more negativity from your side of the argument. You came in here with bland stereotypes that everyone was a fanboy and a little kiddie, and therefore disregarded dissenting opinions as "flames," which has basically formed the pillar of your counterargument, that the disagreeing opinions of others could be disregarded because they were from "kiddies". After all of this negativity to this forum, you THEN expected to be treated without any sort of hostility? I'm suprised that a post-moderator of a popular forum holds this sort of attitude.
Back on topic. You mentioned that "If they cared, they left a while back." Like I said, refer to my last post. Only the people who are left are the real fans of Halo. And those people really don't care too much about FOV. This thread has proven it. And to be honest, would you really care that much if the FOV wasn't changeable? Like someone said, no need to get your panties into a wad there.
Second point: Like I said, good luck getting in touch with Bungie. They left H1PC to rot, and I don't expect help for H2PC. Gearbox may be different, and they proved it by releasing CE, but Bungie...seeing that the most contact we've gotten is a H2Vista Test Lead...
