An idea!!!!

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Guys, really. I fully understand the draw in trying to suggest your ideas on Halo.
I fully understand that some people, in their overzealous attempt to convey their idea, may or may not use language that seems demanding, and insulting to 343i.
I also, fully understand that people are very excited for Halo 5’s release.
I do not however, understand the justification of a majority of the complaints lodged against the release of Halo 5, when it’s not even out yet.
I do understand people’s need to analyze and reanalyze, then make comments about such analyzations, in order to try and maintain a sense of due diligence.

Now, my idea(s) is(are) this(these), and simply this(these):

  • Can we maintain a single thread for certain things that are a wide source of complaints/commentary? (i.e. Spartan abilities, which edition I bought/why, warzone ideas, etc) - Can we use the search feature to see if these threads exist, prior to the posting of our own threads? - Can we try to keep the complaints to a minimum? (This: I HATE THE RECON CONTROLLER SCHEME 343I DID A CRAPPY JOB is not the same as: ‘I tried to use recon during the beta, and didn’t like the button configuration, any chance we can switch some buttons around?’) - Can we also try to maintain a friendly atmosphere? (I know that I’ve been a perpetrator of such delinquent activities in split screen threads, or add elite threads, but I have been maintaining a better rapport with forum users.) - Last, but not least… Can we please allow for Halo 5 to be released before we interject what we assume the game is going to look/play/feel/be like? (As in, before we automatically assume that something isn’t working the way we think it should, thanks to videos, and/or pictures from people who used it, or the beta, or from other sources, we allow for the game to be released, or more information directly from 343i to allow for a better understanding, and to keep the forums free from unnecessary (in my opinion) spam.Feel free to comment, but please, keep the conversation civil.

I’m not sure you’re going to convince people to follow the forum rules with this thread lol. Also, complaining about the complainers doesn’t typically lead to a good end. Let people vent their frustrations.

As for asking criticisms/suggestions to be withheld until the game comes out, that’s probably not going to happen. I wouldn’t even try to push that one through.

Edit: My response to the post below me- Sorry, I often interpret bolded words as complaints.

I didn’t complain? I specifically stayed away from complaining, but thank you for your opinion on the situation. Hopefully this helps, even a little bit.

This would be so much easier if this forum would have a few extra moderators around the clock deleting threads, corralling people into one single thread, etc. Right now as it stands there aren’t many moderators around anymore so it takes a long time before threads are finally shut down, locked or redirected.
I agree with all your points and I hope as we can closer to Halo 5’s launch, and the volume picks up, the content maintains a higher level of quality.

Noble attempt, UrJesus.
But: internet.
Keep fighting the good fight. I’m with you.

6

Threads like these are also something I’d consider spam. I see just as many “343 sucks” threads as I do “leave 343 alone” threads.

My point being, I doubt anything is going to change, but I appreciate what you’re trying to do.

7

Just trying to help, I see far more negative posts, than I have seen of positive posts. I’d say the ratio is like 1:4, but I really hope that people will start to be a fan, and helpful, rather than the alternative.

> Can we maintain a single thread for certain things that are a wide source of complaints/commentary? (i.e. Spartan abilities, which edition I bought/why, warzone ideas, etc)

I dislike megathreads in general. It’s almost like why bother even posting when your post is going to be buried in hundreds of others within a few minutes. The forum doesn’t need to be so tidy that there’s only five threads at any given time, and it just kills off actual discussion.

Furthermore good content doesn’t get as much exposure in a megathread. Someone’s insightful five-paragraph rant on page 300 is going to be buried in ten pages of “NO 343BOLA SUX LOL” comments. If that person has their own thread, their rant is always on the first page for everyone to find and read.

Megathreads have their time and place. Example, a new e3 trailer releases and the front page is filled to the brim of threads containing nothing but mindless speculation. Yeah, that is legitimately excessive, and that can definitely be consolidated to a single thread. A megathread is definitely justified there. Most calls for megathreads aren’t justified though. Rather, they are just someone trying to sweep a topic they don’t like under the rug, regardless if its actually excessive or not.

> Can we use the search feature to see if these threads exist, prior to the posting of our own threads?

First the rules about bumping need to be more lenient and consistent.

> Can we also try to maintain a friendly atmosphere?

All of my keks. I can’t even…

> Can we please allow for Halo 5 to be released before we interject what we assume the game is going to look/play/feel/be like?

Some things are important to criticize while there’s still time to change them.
Other things…well…why even bother waiting that long? No real reason to in most cases.

Pretty much this. It sucks that people will spout the same arguments again and again, but its not our place to deal with the complainers or defenders. If the mods see it as non-constructive, they’ll be more than happy to give out locks and bans.

  1. There are a variety of reasons that people create threads on an already discussed topic. Perhaps the previous topics are months old, so they don’t wish to necroopost. Or they feel that they fel they have a more comprehensive view on the subject and so they want to create a thread discussing they’re view and points on the subject. Besides, I see a lot of “praise Halo 5” and “stop being haters” threads, should we shepherd all those people into the same thread? And come to think of it, I believe this isn’t the first “keep our forums clean” threads I’ve seen. Paradox?

  2. To be fair, being an iPad user, I don’t know how the search function is on computers, since this version is really funky for me.

  3. Complain. Going off of the first definition, any form of criticism that evokes dissatisfaction is a complaint, no matter how constructive it is. If you mean to eliminate non-constructive criticism, positive or negative, then I’m right on board with you.

  4. This one is going to be tricky. As you said in the parantheses, this is a problem that both sides share, and have shared for a long time. Wouldn’t get to optimistic about this point.

Halo Reach:

Critics: Armor abilities look like they are going to really disrupt the balance on a massive level, and bloom looks like a lottery machine.

Consumers: Stop hating, armor abilities and bloom is an evolution for the franchise, just wait and play the game when it comes out, you will love it.

Halo 4:

Critics: Now they are adding custom loadouts and killstreaks, is this a joke? And they still have sprint and armor abilities.

Consumers: Stop hating, 343 is just continuing the evolution from Reach, just wait and play the game when it comes out, you will love it. (Lol, I did this)

Destiny:

Critics: This game really doesn’t look special at all, it just seems like any other shooter with jump packs.

Consumers: Stop hating, their is innovation EVERYWHERE, just wait and play the game when it comes out, you will love it.

Titanfall:

Critics: Cod with bots, acrobatics (lol), and mechs?

Consumers: Stop hating, this looks like a turning point for shooters (sure was), just wait and play the game when it comes out, you will love it.

The Order:

Critics: This doesn’t look like it will have much gameplay.

Consumers: Stop hating, this game has amazing graphics, just wait and play the game when it comes out, you will love it.

Halo 5:

Critics: So sprint is still here and 343 seems to be cutting features left and right.

Consumers: Stop hating, Halo is evolving, and all those things you like are gimmicks, just wait and play the game when it comes out, you will love it.

After 5 years of subpar gaming with only a few gems, can you see why I might just be a little skeptical?

No, because you’re exaggerating. What people saw was greenskull, a competent player, who has played warzone himself, saying that the banshee died too quickly and there’s footage of a ghost taking heavy damage from small arms fire, literally dying in seconds from 4 assault rifles. We then go back to what we thought of halo 4, in that all vehicles died quickly except for the mantis, and now it’s the same but also with the phaeton. Knowing that they created the game with some of the most worthlessly weak vehicles and seeing footage and hearing from competent halo players who played warzone suggests that vehicles are still unbalanced, thus threads emploring 343 to put more consideration into it because it is disappointingly similar to halo 4s vehicles. Do you even read the threads you’re complaining about?

What people saw was greenskull, a competent player, who has played warzone himself, saying that the banshee died too quickly and there’s footage of a ghost taking heavy damage from small arms fire, literally dying in seconds from 4 assault rifles. Wait, my fake comment, was somehow legitimate? Oh, the irony. We then go back to what we thought of halo 4, in that all vehicles died quickly except for the mantis, and now it’s the same but also with the phaeton. Wut? When the hell was this? Knowing that they created the game with some of the most worthlessly weak vehicles and seeing footage and hearing from competent halo players who played warzone suggests that vehicles are still unbalanced, I’ve seen more incompetent players, than I have of competent players, playing warzone, but alright… thus threads emploring __(if you’re going to use a variable lexicon, at least spell it right. Imploring)__ 343 to put more consideration into it because it is disappointingly similar to halo 4s vehicles. You haven’t played it, and instead watched a couple of videos. So, how exactly are you sure that the vehicles are ‘disappointingly similar to Halo 4s vehicles’? Do you even read the threads you’re complaining about? Apparently not the same ones you have, but I do actually read a majority of the threads that I’m inferring.

The only irony i see in this thread is the guy asking for a more friendly atmosphere frequently makes condescending or snarky replies, even evident in this thread where he is clearly the most hostile poster.

I think you’re just trying to start an argument, I’m not going to bite, but thanks for the bump broseph.

He does thia -Yoink- all the time. He’s one of the biggest hypocrites I’ve ever seen that I barely take him seriously. He’s more concerned with grammar checking you than actually paying attention to your point. George Carlin has a word for people like him, I believe it is a bundle of sticks in certain cultures, but whatever. After his last reply suggesting his own example of other threads was actually hyperbolic to the point of not even representing other threads points (doesn’t make sense? Yeah, pretty much.) and saying that he’s never seen anyone say the mantis and phaeton are overpowered, within the next few sentences stating he reads most threads, he’s just so full of -Yoink-, -Yoink- him. If you don’t agree he will weave a hole to get at you and swipe the ill logic of it under the rug as if he’s perfect and we’re just trying to shoot him down unfairly.

In terms of your first point i agree with Ramirez, if agreeing with Ramirez on megathreads then that more or less answers the second point too. your third point on complaints is fair, if it is about baseless complaining but mods usually locks these, they do run for a few pages too long but they are locked. it depends on what you determine as a complaint, your example is just baseless complaining, but as for a complaint, thought out negative criticism, no that should not be less frequent. the fact they have persisted for 5 years and make up a large portion of forum discussion shows that they are cared about points of discussion, just because you hold an opposing position to some complaints doesn’t require a thread to suggest silencing them in some way. The fourth point i already mentioned is hypocritical, you yourself even mentioned you can be hostile in your very post, calling yourself a ‘predator’. As for the last point look at the threads, then count the number of speculation threads, i think you’ll find that the ‘interjections and assumptions’ you seem to detest are the things that got picked up post-beta and has made the game a tighter experience as a result.

so complaints about controller settings, audio, lighting, textures, movement, damage, balance, mechanics, interfaces, playlists, vehicles and features are most definitely welcome if they’re in a structured post with logic as to why it should be different, after all it’s these complaints which have partly shaped the game.
