I was looking forward to a great Community...

But, here I stand once again, faced with a bunch of whining crybabies that want to burn 343i at the stake. You folks are not very different from the Battlefield Community; “This game isn’t tailored to my personal tastes, I’m trading it in!” or better yet; Mass Effect 3: “OMG! I hate the ending to this game, I’m going to file a lawsuit WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT against BioWare/EA!”

Again, this a new developer, thus new direction. Bungie gave up on Halo after Halo 3 with the piss-poor excuses called Halo 3: ODST & Halo: Reach.

So, quit yer’ crying and don’t play or SHUT THE HELL UP!

Halo 4 isn’t a new direction, it’s the same direction as Reach, just further down the road.

Halo 3 & Bungie’s private group system also fostered a lot more community strength than Halo 4 and 343’s abysmal social features.

Same here. Its the norm now to crucify developers if they don’t satisfy everyone. I have seen the elitism in the Battlelog Forums and BSN forums and it makes me sick.

Ok kid If I pay £60 for a game then I have the right to complain all I want, everybody else has that right. People are quite annoyed because they choose to ignore the previous story’s, a plot that was barely consistent, on top of that, Bungie were the one to make the foundations of how they wanted their games to be like but instead 343i ignored that, decided to do their own thing. (I personally would have been ok with that if they bothered to be similar to the past halo games)

Also since I have played every single halo game including odst, reach which weren’t my favourite games but I enjoyed a fair amount then I think I can say this and say I would be deeply appreciative if you would refrain from speaking.! You can’t tell people what to think, what to do with their own money. This is supposed to be a new storyline, not new gameplay. Halo 4 is not my favorite halo game by far but that doesn’t mean people can’t critise the game for what it is or how will 343i know how to fix the game or at least make halo 5 a better game?

Rule of thumb on popular game forums, especially shooters:

A good chunk of the people complaining are the vocal minority venting their frustration after a bad game.

I’m on the COD forums which I haven’t been two in years. Went there when I got sick of Reach and Bnet (this was before Waypoint existed) and I’m betting the community over there isn’t much different then here.

I’m not asking for 343i to be burned at the stake like a damn Inquisitionist, but they -Yoinked!- up Custom Games, and they need to own up to that and fix it. The fact that they won’t acknowledge it is disturbing.

Halo 4 is a good game, but it’s far from perfect.

Game developer tries something new.

You lot are the most loving gaming community that ever existed, 343i and Microsoft love you so much. ಠ_ಠ

Constructive criticism and reviews would have been acceptable but this is outright cruel.

Are you trying to tell me there are WORST communities in gaming out there? I never would have known…I always thought halowaypoint.com was as low as it gets.

Sadly, this is the internet, where people like that will ignore everything and shove their opinions down your throat by flooding the forums with many, many repeat threads about the same thing.

I will take this as the “ash in my pancake” kinda thing.

Wait, you’re complaining about people having legitimate and illegitimate complaints about Halo 4, then become a hypocrite by complaining about ODST and Reach?

Not sure if your being sarcastic, and yes, there are far worse forums than this.

WHOA WHOA WHOA! Language man! How dare you say ODST was a piss poor game. ODST is one of the best in the series! Great character development, great action packed levels, good story and Nathan Fillion!

Don’t let these threads deceive you.

All the whiners are a Vocal Majority, but a Populated Minority since anyone who doesn’t care and likes the game is playing rather than whining on the forums.

Nope lol sorry. I wasn’t.

The xbox forums are the only other forums I look at and people over there are much better (not perfect) than over here.

Bungie.net would like to have a word with you…

Not a problem.

This. The forum community is the minority of the games population.

I feel your pain OP, I was excited to get involved in the Halo community. Hopefully all these trolls will leave within a week

More people would probably listen to the complaints, and 343 might be more inclined to, if they were at least intelligent. Filling a post with profanities, capital letters, hyperbole and threats isn’t going to get anyone anywhere, except on the ignore list. :confused:

If they were intelligent complaints I wouldn’t care about them; I have my own irks with the game, but I do with every single game (have yet to play anything perfect). But seeing every other post being all “343 U SUK” or “HALO 4 IS COD” is just ugh (more ugh on the latter of the two… because… really?)

I’ve seen worse, though.

TERA’s forums, at least a bit past launch, were just abysmal. (Especially when you had the -Yoink!- addicts starting things up…). So I wouldn’t say these are the worst; they’re average.
