Maybe game developers should learn from the long list of large titles that have an atrocious launch that have to start back peddling on failed ideas right out of the gate. We’ve seen almost this same scenario play out for probably about a dozen big name titles in the last few years.
And now I’ve just found one of the users he was disagreeing with in another thread, still going. User 1, locked out, User 2, free to continue.
The most toxic thing I’ve seen from critics on this forum - and I’m not super active or anything, so maybe I’m missing something - has been one user call another user a “bootlicker.” That’s rude and not productive. It might even happen more often that I realize. On the other hand, OP’s posts have been the most overtly aggressive and toxic I’ve seen on the forum, which included bypassing automated censors to flame people.

The truth will out apparently. OP turns out to be a giant hypocrite.
Nice post BTW, I wish I could like it twice.
I do agree that calling people bootlickers isn’t constructive, but OP appears to be the arbiter of what insults are acceptable to sling around.

Besides the death threats (I don’t know if those only came from one side, but they probably did) there’s enough s*** to go around. From r/Halo temporary lockdown post (since been removed) “The primary thing the mod team cares about is limiting insults and toxicity, because it makes it impossible to have actual conversation. This cuts both ways whether you are happy or unhappy with the game as-is. Someone criticizing the game doesn’t mean you get to say they’re an “entitled crybaby manchild”. Someone saying they’re fine with the game or to give it some time doesn’t mean you can call them a “bootlicking dicksucker”. All of these are things the mod team has dealt with and will continue to deal with”

I was thinking the same. Everyone heard the word toxicity and jumped on the people critiquing the game. But the majority of the people that I, personally, have seen be toxic are the people defending the game.
“You’re just whining”
“You’re just too broke to afford the microtransactions”
“Stop crying”
“You’ve probably only ever played on Playstation”
(and my personal favorite)
“You’re not a real Halo fan”
Are all my favorite toxic quotes that I’ve seen from these people. The toxicity needs to stop on both ends… one side doesn’t need to get the blame for all of it. It needs to stop as a whole.

Additionally, they defend 343 and call them humans and all this, then blame executives and treat them as subhumans. The hypocrisy.

Most people with a shred of life experience are sick of it.
In that same grain, I have to sorta remind myself most of these knee-jerk posts are done by teens or emotional/heart on sleeve type people.
Although most of the problem is people not knowing how a forum works
vNext needs an award system like Reddit, etc.

He might have voiced an opinion that a mod didn’t agree with.

That’s sad. I do see a lot of that in today’s world. Two people will have differing opinions, so one of them will try to get the other one banned or censored. Shame to see it happening with Halo.

Yes. My opinion is different to yours, so, banned or censored.
