Has anyone but me noticed that the halo 3 forum is just filled with a bunch of people complaining about a game not even out yet? I mean they complain about the pistols, the needler, the multiplayer number, the man cannon, even the whole game. Has anyone noticed this? Are forum ninjas allowed to close them or something? I just want to see some good ideas or a theory about halo 3 not complaining all the time.

I just noticed that this is kind of a complaint. Lol!

Send all complaints about complaints to Frankie, and check his profile. Its not all complaints. There's some decently good(as in bad) speculation about the game in there as well. Please heed the warning of posting at your own risk. Or even entering for that matter.

That's why I don't go in there : ). Trust me, you don't want me to go in there. I turn into the hulk, but without the green, big feet, large muscles, giant hands, or shredded pants. But I do get on my pissy side.

I gave up on that forum after...oh...about a day.....

(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Yeah, trust me, if your looking for a conversation not involving morons, don't go to the Halo 3 forum. It may seem tempting but very few actually sane in there.

I'm allergic to the Halo 3 forum. As soon as I click on the link to get there, I start breaking out in hives.

Well don't complain too much about it. I mean come on, there's not enough cheese to go with all the wine as it is. Anyways, what else can you expect? They all want it to be their way...it's too hard for them to understand that its Bungie's game, not theirs.

I much prefer the Septagon to the Halo 3 forum. I feel as if actual intelligent discussion occurs here, unlike half of the threads in that forum.

Ya. But it's a shame because then it basically means that there is no good way to have an actual discussion about the game. I say we all start discussing Halo 3 theories in this thread and hope no moderators notice...

I think that if you go to the Halo 3 forum, you can easily discuss whether or not a feature will be in the game.

The problem is: If you think, for example, Elites should be back in Multiplayer, then you're going to have someone saying otherwise, which almost forces them to complain about some aspect of the elite that makes them dislike having them.

See?

I believe all speculation and theories lead to complaints.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

All the forums are used to complain about somthing.

Septagon is bungie issues.

halo 3 is halo 3 issues

New Mombasa is to complain about a game that is 2 years old.

and so on.

The mods are fiew and we the members are many. We just have to set an example and be the best we can be.

If you do poorly at work or at school and feel even a shred of self-loathing, just go to the Halo 3 forum and click a random thread. I guarantee that you will automatically feel better, at least about your intelligence level. Exponentially better.

This H3 Forum sucks.
The other day I posted some intresting stuff about that structure from the trailer.
And guess what happened! They nicely told me to go f... myself !!! And the rest just ignored me.
I should have posted it in the Flood,more people would actuall be intrested!

Don't tell me you've just realized this :-)

Yeah, Halo 3 Forums is hectic. It's hands down the most active forum- the action never stops in there. And it's pretty much the most out-of-control forum on here.

Actually, there was a bit of an attack in there the other night, but it was handled pretty quickly. Hadn't seen spam that bad in a while though (trust me, it was bad)

But yeah, out of all the crazy stuff that goes on in there, you'll find some good ideas. They are rare though. And people are always talking about that forum is just repeats of the same idea over and over. So most threads are filled with replies like "Use the Search Feature" or "We've heard this a thousand times before."

And it's true. It is all repeats. But people need to realize something- your average 15 year old Halo 3 enthusiast isn't going to make an account here and read the Rules and use the Search Feature in hopes of finding an existing thread about the X button. I garauntee you that the second that member is able to make a thread, it's going to be a repeat. And we have to accept the fact that when someone wants to be heard, that person is going to be heard. Because at the end of the day, that's all we want- to share our ideas and get praise for them.

But when said ideas are met with flames like "Use the damn search button!" then we get new members who are discouraged, embarrassed, and saddened at the fact that people are ridiculing him for his already mentioned idea (or an idea that makes no sense whatsoever.)

That's why that Forum is so crazy. But hey, it'll get better when the game is released, right? I mean, it has to, right..................LOL

Well, I don't really get exactly what you were going for there, but it certainly was rousing. Long story short, Halo 3 forum is good times if you're into crushing idiocy under the steel-toed boot of reason and logic. That, or you're into masochism.

If you can't handle bad grammar and idiots, then just get off the internet. It's obviously no place for you to be. Neither is real life, now that I think of it.

Idiots will be idiots, but I've had plenty of intelligent discussions in the Halo 3 forum.

Oh, and you're not really impressing me with your opinion about dumb people when you just shoved an advertisement into the bottom of your post.. :O And you spelled "Your" incorrectly in the advertisement as well. Sounds just like what you just posted about disliking.

Ironic. Like Iron.

Actually the advertisement in the bottom of the post was supposed to represent the signature that the fictional uneducated person who wrote the post would have. That's why that horizontal line is there. I had considered putting the whole fake post part in a quote box, but I thought it looked annoying to read and I also just assumed most people would understand what I was trying to do. But apparently you disagreed with me and therefore just had to find something to call me out on...

If you can't handle bad grammar and idiots...
I don't get this. Can't handle it? Did it really seem like I was kicking and screaming?
