We were doing so good with the return of the Halo community then all the sudden I log on today and see a bunch of hate, troll, and nitpicking threads. What happened? We were coming back. People were happy and able to socialize and then stuff happened and it all went to hell again.
I don’t think that it ever went away … it just took up residence in another forum for a while.
I still believe that there are a lot of great members here, but sometimes its hard to navigate through the hate.
That’s one of the reasons I stopped visiting as often. I felt like I was getting sucked into it each time I stopped in.
And worse, contributing to it.
I hope once the game releases people will flood the forum with appreciation.
I think the hardest part is resisting the urge to respond to trolls. Despite all the hate and nitpicking that’s appearing, there is a lot of valid criticism being brought up that should be heard and debated on. I think what we need to do is focus more on responding to that, than arguing with trolls. You see someone flamebaiting? Report and move on, there’s really no need to comment. What we shouldn’t do is give in and leave, there’s still plenty of awesome threads, discussions and creations going on here. Give the community a chance

Because people have seen things that concern them, such as the port of Halo: CE multiplayer being put in that from what I read wasn’t very good and the cutting of Theater features. The Master Chief Collection has always had issues for people, but most people were just happy to get all the games in one collection. Now that more people are voicing displeasure it is a problem? Instead of making a thread that is only going to turn into another argument, why not see what people have issues with in other threads?
I’m gonna agree with Cobra here. That said, locked.
