Victory Element

true, but i have to quote Vince Lomabrdi in response to that "“Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.” and thats all we can do now

those discussions were the best..... I hope to have more before halo 5 comes out

As a community, we need to contemplate on this great Lincoln quote.... lately, these forums have turned into a complete wreck. Arguments, trolling, and duplicate threads have overrun this website. We have seen a flock of new members come here for halo 4. Many of these new members have shown themselves to be immature, selfish, and ignorant to others trying to enjoy themselves. not all of the new members are like this though, some have proven to be good additions to the community we have here. Now that i have stated the obvious, its time to get down to business. this community has been ruined at the present time. People are fighting, trolls are trolling, etc. Its about time that we unite together as a fan community. the lack of respect here is really bothering me, and i dont understand why people cant just get along. Yes, people do have varying opinions, but that doesnt mean you have to rub in other peoples' faces. If you hate halo 4, good for you. If you really think your opinion needs to get out there, then say it respectfully. 343i spent a lot of time making the game, and they dont deserve to be rideculed after all of the hard work they've done. It is their first time making a halo game, so consider giving them a break. They have the next few years to improve and receive feedback from the halo community. If you really think that you have to criticize the game, at least make it into constructive criticism that they can improve off of. going off on angry rants will not solve any problems if you are not pleased with halo 4. So please, if you are going to critize, keep it respectful and please give some hard facts and details to back you up If you love halo 4, good for you. I'm sure 343i would appreciate positive feedback, but others may not be pleased with it. so please, if someone starts hating on you for loving halo 4, just ignore them. Same for those who dislike halo 4, just ignore rude comments from the lovers. But honestly, making a thread about how much you love halo 4 will not benefit any much at all. I'm only being realistic, not trying to criticise. Saying you love halo 4 wont give much feedback to 343i to help them improve, though i'm sure they appreciate the support. And other members here probably wont have much to say about your opinion, all they can do is agree with it. Flaws are something that can be more easily discussed than simple compliments. These love threads will not do much for the benefit as a community as whole. but if you really want to express how much you love the game, make it into a topic that can be easily discussed and benefit the community. And for all you "senior" members, this community needs your support. Newer members need leaders to help guide them through their early experiences here and make this website a better place. you guys can be looked to as examples when others are having trouble here. this website needs experienced leaders to help pull it back together. for all you new new members, we want to make this a better place for everyone. We need you guys to cooperate with each other and follow the regulations that we have established on this site. We can be a very welcoming community if everyone can be respectful to one another. If you ever need help, you can awlays go to a community mod, or anyone with the title of dedicated member. They will probably be able to help you with any problems that you have. We need support from a large community to return these forums to a friendly environment. Now, Can we please unite and bring this house back together. We are all here for pretty much the same reason, and there is no excuse for why we all cant get along! so please, lets make these forums into a great place. Thank you if you were able to read all of this, it would be aprreciated if you all would comply and i think it would be for the better of the community. *i tried to remain as nautral as possible. If you have any concerns about biases in this topic, please let me know in a respectul manner

.....i sure miss the good 'ol days.... Lol

Nice to met you Kevin, but please do not try to judge this website from what you have seen recently. things used to be very serene around here in the months up to the release of halo 4. We had many respectable members,a friendly environment, and it was a place that you could have fun. But since release.....new members are joining in extreme numbers. Few of these nee members have shown respect and maturity here on the forums. People have been very selfish and often tend to break forum relations. Some of these new members are respectable people though, and I hope you are one them. Once the halo 4 hype dies down a bit, the forums should return to the friendly environment that it was before. we just need patience

Why am I seeing all these old members back so suddenly?? Not saying it's a bad thing, but this place got pretty rough right after release. I did my best to try keep the forums a friendly environment, but I had almost no support from any senior members when doing so. Anyways, nice to see you guys back, and great post twin

I've always had lag problems in the first Spartan ops mission for the second chapter, but otherwise,I haven't had much lag

That's so funny. I wish I could see something like that. I haven't had any problems with ordinance drops yet That's so funny. I wish I could see something like that. I haven't had any problems with ordinance drops yet

I hope they add in social playlists as well. When I play with a guest our a friend who isn't so good, it end up horrible when I am matched with skilled players. a social playlist would be more fun for guests and would create a better experience if I just wanna play for fun

I think combining them would work better as well. The voting system would become similar to reach where you specify the exact game in each vote for a playlist

I think that would be a fun idea. I liked all the trash talk in firefight

Sounds like good way to organize it, but there are way to many playlists. It would be hard to keep each one fairly populated. I'm not trying to hate, i'm only being honest. And dominion is only for 6 players, not 8

I use default because i've grown so used to reach controls. The crouching has become a bit akward, but it's easy to adapt to

Its like binary code. It only uses 1s and 0s. So either you hit your target and get a one hit kill, or you miss and get nothing. It doesn't require a headshot to kill Its like binary code.

i think we could use a mamoth or two on Haven

i think instead of one long burst, it should have two shorter bursts. similar to evade in halo reach

nice to see someone who realizes this problem. I even started a whole topic about the repeated complaints being locked

i personally like comlex

@RedStarRocket91 You have a gift with words my friend. Thank you

I'm not saying everything has to be positive. All of the negative is already out there, so why just keep making more of it if the same things are just going to be repeated? People need to realize that they can just leave a comment on an already made hate thread, not just start their own. Some of this is often out of selfishness it seems. People think their opinion is the most important, so they start a thread without bothering to even look at what others have already posted. All they need to do is say that they agree with another thread

This does make sense, but this is only a community forum. If people would like to complain, they should go to the official site site at halo.xbox.com. I'm only trying to make these forums a better place by not having so much complaining. It makes the environment more friendly and I would like to keep many of these new members here. this has nothing to do with my personal opinion of the game @cbr lol. thank you for repeating everything that's already in a hate thread

Well no one here seems to agree with me much, so you guys tell me: why should I have to see the same thing reworded over and over again if there's already 10 of the same thing out there?? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, i'm just interested in learning why everyone is okay with more hate threads Please, no BS, and don't just say because the game is bad

Post was edited. I meant to say that I haven't seen a mod once since release

I've been around here a while, and duplicate threads have always been locked.... But its like the mods have disappeared our something lately..... As well as some of the older members here

I'm not saying halo 4 has no problems, i'm just saying that we don't have to hear about the same exact thing from 10 different people. Yes, people can have their opinions, but it makes no sense to start another thread with the content as many others. If you want to say that you aren't pleased,, just leave a comment in thread saying you don't like it. We don't need unnecessary threads
