Dude, I'm just saying the way that he is sayin that sure makes it seem as if he is. And you just called me princess. Im not calling names. Actually I think ill call you a prison ra.pe monkey.

Do you lack the maturity to see how offensive your posts actually are?

But lets not turn this into a flame war. Just don't use "-blam!-" or "retard" - there's no need to on a forum about a games company.

Moderator's note: Don't spam.

Also, don't refer to things you don't like as "-blam!-."

I believe when someone says "-blam!-" or "retarded", it is all about context. I am not trying to insult your brother or sister who is either -blam!- or mentally handicapped. Its like some saying "I am rick james -blam!-", and me getting offended because I have a female dog, it's out of context.

OK, let's use my example. Let's take your statement to it's logical conclusion.

"Ooh, GameSpot are -blam!-s"
"Damn Arabs at GameSpy"
"IGN is full of Pakis"

Would you agree with that? Of course not. No sane person would. And using "-blam!-" and "retarded" in that sense is EXACTLY the same.

That's a horrible justification.

-blam!- and retarded both are references derived from usage as though they are derogatory terms. As goweb pointed out, using these words as derogatory remarks about anything is against Bungie's code of conduct, and you are not to use them.

I think you should use both words, and others, in the way they are meant to be used as stated in a dictionary.

With "-blam!-" meaning happy would be nice.

I'm -blam!- and retarded, and I find that VERY offensive.

whatever, I am clearly not the only person on these forums to have used these terms before. Nobody else has had such a terrible backlash over such a lighthearted comment.

  • 05.26.2004 1:57 PM PDT

No, you're not. And you'll find that I question every one I see.

Fine Goweb, you win but you wont get an apology out of me, we simply have an understanding. That you are an extremly touchy person, and I will watch what I say for now on.

  • 05.26.2004 2:01 PM PDT

Good - you're going to follow the mandatory Code Of Conduct.

Im offended by people who obey the code of conduct..j/k

The man had a right to say how he felt, whether it was offensive or not, just like you had the right to flame back saying he is immature or ignorant..or both. If you have nothing better to do than go around looking for a post that either offends people or breeches the C.O.C. You really need to find a hobby..like playing Halo:P Get a grip people..im sure whoever he is will watch what he posts next time..your job is done. let it go. the world is now a safer place because of you.

You haven't even played either of the f***ing games, you have no idea how they handle against each other, did it ever occur to you that Mech Assault 2 might just be better than Halo 2!

Don't hate someone else's opinion, and don't think that you can rate two games you've never played...

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


They I seen that too and I think Halo 2 is better than Mechassualt 2 but GameSpot isn't -blam!- its the best place to check on games and stuff but I think that was messed up.

Here, none of us have rights. We have privileges, and to keep those privileges we have to follow the rules. This includes not using offensive language and not flaming (my post wasn't really a flame). I suggest you also read through the various rules.
Offensive language isn't acceptable anywhere. You can't go through the streets chanting it, can you?

Ok buddy how come you come down on people for calling something "-blam!-" But you never do anything when someone says "OH Jesus Christ!" I find that very rude and think you need to deal with that too.
