so this is a mixture of an introduction as well as the reason for my desperation to find a forum for the Halo community (I dislike Halo 5 in nearly every way, my apologies now, I will have an argument with people or two but won't go to name calling or profanity until someone does first. Just kinda my thing.)
I got banned from Waypoint until 2552 (haha 343, very funny..........NOT!) because I "Leaked content or footage". (Nearly a literal quote of the red ban banner on my profile.)
What I said was this:
"Constructive criticism is not hurting the fixing of the game."
I can't even view the forums at all to see the rest of the thread in which that was the only post I made because I was defending another user who said the game was broken as all hell and someone defended the game, resorting to baseless and childish name calling. That user, the one defending the game and the company, is still active.
The reason why I searched for a site like this: because I do still like Halo as it was the first XBOX game I got into, to the point where I have logged months of cumulative hours in each game. They were solid and I enjoed some of the forum discussions as they made bugs and guides easy to find Pre-MCC (MCC stupidly took out the challenges which arguably made Halo MP not as fun with nothing to unlock...... at least to me that is.)
I have been a user of Waypoint since it went live to everyone and was active on Bungie's forums prior to that. It was like a second home where I could be a Halo nerd and get away with it but am now banned because the 343 mods went ban happy on negative comments of their product (which still doesn't work to this day. If you want to know why I still say that, go ahead and ask. I experienced game breaking bugs that have been going on since launch last night.)
Despite this banning and everything, I'm still a Halo fan and want to stay in touch with other fans. I look forward to being here.
