I’m going to quote what was said in another thread that tried to be a mega thread.
> > But in order for 343i to do that correctly, the community needs to get it’s act together, and start acting like adults, and point out the problems, and ways to fix them, or alternatives to the ideas and solutions. Granted I feel that the title of this thread is wrong, the issues given, and some of the solution given are reasonable. And they are a start. But sometimes, not even pointing out the solutions is enough.

OP, I agree with what you’re trying to do, hell, I’m willing to support just about any idea/change that comes from any peaceful movement to change Halo 4, and repair it.
Everytime I pop into this forum board and see nothing but hate, it saddens me to think that the community who swear up and down that they care about the game/series, are the ones who are doing the most damage, hell, since Halo 4’s release the community hasn’t once acted like a functional community, it’s starting to act somewhat like your everyday 12 year old COD player, who does nothing but nitpick about every little thing, and complain, and don’t offer any solutions to the issues they point out.
I sometimes see people say they’re going to boycott Halo until Halo 4 is fixed, that’s not helping, that’s just acting like selfish people who don’t know how to give any form of constructive criticism, and believe telling someone “FIX IT!” and not doing anything farther, is going to get anything fix.
I much rather see people post in threads like this saying "Here is the problem, here’s why it’s a problem, and heres what I believe could be a solution to the problem. Then, and maybe then we might see more posts from 343i staff trying to speak with the community members, other than just sending in BS Angel, their Matchmaking account, and Rukizzel to act as filters.
But, I’ve been around for some time now, and I’ve seen the results of the newer members creating accounts, and posting hateful threads, it’s causes members who do think the same as you and me to leave, hell just about everyday I see less people who I once had fun little conversations with in the Yo Thread back when I first started posting on this site. Granted when ever I point that out, people tend to say “It’s because they given up on Halo, because Halo 4 is crap”, and no, that’s not the reason, the number one reason is because the community is full of people who are quick to judge, quick to hate, and quick to disregard peace and the forum rules, just to say “Hey, something isn’t right, here’s the issue, is there any way you can fix it?”
Hell, in most places if you walk in and act this way, you’ll most likely get thrown out, and banned from the place of business, but here, it runs wild, people get away with acting like the lowest forms of life.
You people are mad at what has been said, and some of the things done or not done, I get that, but coming to 343i’s forums, and posting hateful messages, and expecting a response, isn’t how to go about things.
